Isshiki cooks a mackerel thing for Soma really early in the series and blows his goddamn mind

It's when they reveal Isshiki's in the E10, IIRC

This is obviously from a million years ago in the story line, but I was re-reading through the series and one clash has always stuck in my craw. The burger showdown in the Autumn Elections. I'm sorry but neither one of those was a drat burger, like at all. I mean both of them even failed to use buns, and what's this "Pickles are the secret main ingredient!" horseshit? "You seem to have used pita for the bun..." no, he used pita instead of a bun, which a burger requires to be a drat burger.

Why does it bother me so much? Burgers are my 100% favorite food ever, and that showdown was an insult to burgerdome.

It sounds like you're never going to discover your own cooking...

also let's be fair, the shiomi seminar was just the vehicle for her life's work, nothing prevents her from piddling around in a polar star lab she'll just have a fleet of handsome boys securing her funding instead of getting it as a matter of course

It could be that the protagonist of this cooking manga is, like, really good at cooking.

You raise an interesting point

Though I can pretty easily see Soma just getting cold beaten here and all the focus being on the rest of the gang

Notice: None of this first three actually did anything to help each other, did they? Or rather we didn't see any of it on Soma's side, he just kind of fired off in a direction

She lost because she didn't check her ingredient quality whereas Soma did.

It makes her sound completely incompetent.

in her defense the factor that decided it was CRAZY minor minutiae, it makes a lot of sense for someone who's always working with top-end stuff and the Most Elite Flour to not think about it when you know that you are absolutely capable of turning out top percentile product

there was no reason for her to do that kind of quality check since she had no reason to have anything less than absolute trust in the organization. meanwhile soma's real-rear end service experience means he'd check on that stuff as a matter of course and not expect actual consistency in his ingredients

narratively this outcome isn't interesting but it isn't stupid and bad, it's just boilerplate. soma's big advantage is always, always, always going to be that at the end of the day he's serving people (judges) and has been serving people since he was a tiny child

Angry Grimace posted:

You're just inserting things that aren't actually there. It's not like Soma had some kind of specific understanding that a low ambient temperature would change the volatility of specific compounds in buckwheat flour. He noticed the quality seemed lower than it normally did, so he changed it. She didn't.

She was on the E10 before Central came around and there's very little to establish that she had some specific allegiance to Central's core philosophies beyond voting for him (and Rindou did also so its not like that means anything) It makes no sense she wouldn't notice that the flour was off without giving a further explanation - e.g. she noticed it but did it anyways.

It could be interpreted the way you are suggesting if they had added something that wasn't simply that she forgot to check whether the flour was still good.

alright, try this on for size

nene doesn't operate under the basis of aroma. she has no real need to consider it in her speciality.

soma, as a shounen protagonist, is mega man bustering traits from chefs he's encountered. that's another detail we get - when someone clowns him his immediate reaction is to grind his skull against them, see the soma/ryou/hayama trinity

through getting owned by hayama and then training exhaustively to beat him in the second match (even if y'all hated that arc) soma had learned to deeply factor the sense of smell into cooking. nene is a mechanically perfect traditional chef who follows perfected recipes - her soba was still absolute top percentile stuff and soma just barely edged out the win because of his experience cooking against people again and again because that's his philosophy and he's in there in the trenches all the time

Kuroyama posted:

It's more similar to the egg dish Souma made for Erina a while back, that worked because Souma was willing to use lower quality eggs. They even said that the best eggs would be too much for the dish. Kinokuni was locked into thinking only First Flour can make the best soba, and would never think of using Second or Third Flour unless that was a condition of the Shokugeki. That rigidity led to her defeat.

six of one, half-dozen of the other. soma bustering echoes of the talents of other chefs he's taken out is more of a background factor, anyway

tbh most Actual Chefs that I've encountered are really healthy, fit people. Everyone being toned and ripped is a stretch, but there not being too many big eater boys isn't as much of a stretch as it seems like it should be
