Cucumber cutting champions

August 1st, 2009 by James

TV Tokyo’s “Champions” assembled a group of chefs and held a cucumber cutting battle:


The object was to see who could cut the most cucumber slices in three minutes. One chef was a specialist in Japanese cuisine using a Japanese knife, one was a specialist in French cuisine using a western knife, and the other was an expert Chinese chef (there was also a celebrity contestant, but he doesn’t count). Each slice had to be under 3 millimeters. Watch the clip and find out who won!

Bonus clip: This isn’t exactly new, but here’s a related video of a drifting car cutting a cucumber.

The Chinese chef should have lined up 4 cucumbers and kicked all their asses with his massive clever.

That was the most mind-numbingly boring thing I’ve ever seen in my life. I want my three minutes back.

That was awesome! I could tell the Frech chef had a faster technique, the Japanese chef had to reposition his hand every couple of seconds.
