It doesn't matter who came first or second, what matters is that Japan placed at all! I love the way that they get all excited about stuff like that. Remember the Olympics, when they took all those bronze medals (and not much else) and still managed to make it look like a major coup?

Tessa, make fun all you want, but if a Canadian chef placed 3rd, I'd be pretty happy(I'm Canadian). I don't see why there are always comments deriding the Japanese for supporting their compatriots' successes. What's wrong with it?

I mean no offense to Canada, but Japan is the third (formerly second?) largest economy in the world. The triumphant glee is way out of proportion.

Well, quite a lot actually. Just how many Ethiopians or North Koreans were amongst the finalists?

@tessa There are are enough examples of G7 countries that have had terrible reputations for food. No point going into names.
Anyway well done for those that tried and got some success. better than not trying...going back to my first point.
