There is something at once unnerving and yet addictive about watching a television show broadcast in Japanese with English subtitles, particularly when there is so much left unsaid by the subtitles in terms of cultural context and background information. But we aren't talking about one of the many soap operas, we're talking about a weekly Japanese cooking game show called the New Dotch Cooking Show, which airs Saturday nights at 8:00 on KSCI (channel 18). The premise seems to involve two hosts who represent a yellow and red side, each featuring a chef who is responsible for creating a unique and tantalizing dish. There are six celebrity guests (the degree of celebrity is completely uncertain to us, since we know nothing of Japanse pop-culture) who must choose a side based on their desire to eat the dish being offered on each side. They will have an initial selection of a side, based on gut instinct, then the chance to switch after a preview tasting of some element of the dish.
