Reply to comment by [deleted] in Kenichi Chin, 'Iron Chef' of Chinese cuisine, dies at 67 by shamelessselfpost

What’s weird for me is that the series ended at least 20 years ago which means he would’ve been around his early/mid-40s when it started yet in my mind’s eye he was always like mid-50s for some reason. He just seemed like he was older to begin with.

That applies to a lot of television shows. People just looked older than they were back then.

I’ve never worked BoH but from what I gather from those that have, working in kitchens will age the fuck out of you. It’s hard on your body and spirit.
