Food Geeks and Iron Chef

When Food Geek Alton Brown started his show Good Eats he showed there could be a connection with Geeks and Food. From that he started a connection between Food and Geeks which made people realize that even the Food shows they liked could be described as Geeky. One of the shows with a huge Geek cult following was Iron Chef Japan which played on Food Network. It was only a matter of time before the Medieval influenced design of Kitchen Stadium Japan brought with it a group of Fantasy Geeks who were interested in the show as well as Anime/Manga/Japan Geeks. Learning that Alton Brown was one of the main presenters only strengthened the following among multiple Geek cultures of Rinascimento, Akibakei, Otaku and Food Geeks.

After Iron Chef Japan, UK, and America the idea of Food Geek has exploded. Food Geeks have started to watch other shows. Some of these shows are hosted by hosts on the Travel Channel, such as Anthony Bourdain, Andrew Zimmern, and Adam Richmond. Feuled by Exploration of places the places these hosts go, or by the intense competition of cuisine.
