With a VCR, red pen, and script of dialogue, he matches the pictures of the culinary action on the screen with these irreverent, over-the-top sportscaster-like phrases, a recipe that has been a major reason for the show's cult status amongst both finicky gourmets and amateur bbq cooks. Though Bickard is developing amusing phrases like "Flamola!" and "Bang a gong, we are on!" - some of the show's trademarks - this is indeed work. "If I have food in the house, I might not even leave," he explains of his focus on that day. This day will consist of roughly eight hours of editing a script of one of the original episodes of the popular Japanese combat cooking show. He is referring to Friday, the day of preparation in his apartment.
The day he gets "down to it" is not the day of recording - that takes place on Saturday in a Tokyo studio. "I keep my mind fresh the one day before I have to get down to it," says Bickard, the English voice of announcer Kenji Fukui on Food Network's " Iron Chef" program, a repackaged version of the now defunct "Ryoyi no Tetsujin" (which ran on Japan's Fuji Television for six years) for the American market. "The day of dread" is how Bill Bickard describes his average Thursday during the recording season. Join him as he finds out what it's like to add an English voice to the popular "Iron Chef" program. This week the Captain finds himself "slicin' and dicin'" in television's revered Kitchen Stadium.
