Yea but, people are enjoying it, and that has to stop because he's not a real musician!
Like that Mozart fucker.
I haven't seen him play a single thing, just wrote a bunch of crap.
I think comparing it to a singer lip synching during a heavily choreographed routine would be a more accurate comparison to what @MrDapper was saying, imo
Please don't look at me like that when you 'asparagus'
How come barely any of those ingredients are challenging? It seems like four times out of five, the cover lifts off and the chefs must immediately be thinking "Yeah I know like seventeen recipes that feature that just off the top of my head."

The challenge doesn't really come from the ingredient, it comes from having to make a complete meal where all the dishes utilize the ingredient, in only one hour, judged against some of the best chefs around. The secret ingredient is just the theme.
I think the most challenging secret ingredient in the Japanese Iron Chef show was octopus and that was mostly because one of them tried to run away.

i think this would be true if he were only triggering the lights, but he's also triggering the audio. it's more like someone playing a cover on an instrument (mostly because that's what it is)
the tutorial trippy mentioned gives a pretty good insight into the complexity of what he's doing

After the ingredient is announced, they get an hour to meal plan before the cooking starts. And you're not just supposed to utilize the ingredient, you're supposed to feature/celebrate it.
Also American Iron Chef is totally watered down to make it more appealing. You can't make your theme ingredient "Chicken" and expect haute cuisine.
You can totally do haute cuisine with chicken. If anything it's easier to do so, as haute cuisine in its time didn't usually have access to the same amount of ingredients from around the world as we do today. The only difficulty would be the preparation time, you're obviously not going to have the time to make a demiglace, or to make the stock for veloute, or any of the other time-consuming ways in which skill in classic cuisine is measured.
Modern cooking is more about bringing out the freshness and unique natural flavor of each ingredient (which is helped out a lot by all the ways modern technology helps get us fresh food from around the world), but you can still absolutely do high end cooking with common ingredients. If anything it's far more of a test of skill. Any schlump can buy a tin of caviar for his restaurant and put it on some bread, and I see no end of try-hard local chefs paying out the nose for exotic crazy wild strains of peas, which they can then poorly prepare safely as their customers will have no idea what it should taste like in the first place.
In the same way that the best bakers make their best bread with only 4 ingredients, the world-class chefs are the ones who can take simple ingredients that everyone thinks they know what it should taste like, and elevate it. A classical chef theoretically got 101 pleats in his toque from each of the ways he knew how to prepare eggs, not from his mastery of crazy random ingredients.
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

Ah. Ye ol' rolling shutter effect. We could probably calculate the time it takes to scan each line and how much time its between each line scanned merely by analysing the image itself and crossreferencing against the vibrationspeed of the individual strings. We have the audio and video, the rest is just physics and math.
