This has become one of my favorite mangas to read every week. I can not get enough of stories that take something grounded in the real world like cooking and make it hot blooded.

I like how this current story arc is finally letting us see more of why Megumi deserves to be at a top class chef school.

Not sure yet if Megumi is going to win this one but at least it looks like she'll put up a hell of a fight.

Until they say outright that Japanese cooking is the true and best cooking I don't think we can say this manga is too nationalistic.

This manga. I don't even. I'm not sure how it will ever top that chapter but I can't wait to see it try.

Are you people trying to tell me that Doritos Locos Tacos aren't a Mexican import?

What the hell. Early in this manga they said that Souma is good because he doesn't try to stick to certain style of cooking he just worries about making good food.

I kind of wish they showed maybe some of the judge's deliberation for some of these. Like in Megumi's match they all talked about how great hers was and then it seemed like the bandanna guy just won unconditionally but then it turns out Megumi's was actually amazing because the Chairmen lost his underwear. Maybe at least one of the judges could say they thought the loser's was better every now and then.

Also isn't the lady the spice guy hangs out with like a year or two younger than Souma's dad? Am I misremembering that?

Her cooking has probably hit a wall based off what the dad is implying too. Clearly she'll get into her own power rivalry with Megumi.

Please give me a Megumi, Alice, and Erina triple fight.

Erina is optional.

Also "Cuisine is for chefs only", similar to "high art is for artists only".

Which is a really bizarre stance to take for any chef who wants to own a restaurant. Like the evil business Elite 10 dude should be 100% against that philosophy since he wouldn't make any money.

Still I thought that was a pretty good twist and can't wait to see what the new regime is like.

If he doesn't win the final cook off with Peanut Butter Squid, or whatever he had in the first chapter, this manga will have been for nothing.

So one of the other ingredients is butter. It better be on a stick and deep fried.

Once again bad Japanese parenting is the cause of the problem.
