Mister Ajikko

Mister Ajikko is the third of the Big 3 80's manga that launched the gourmet manga genre. It is unrepentantly shonen, with all the 80's trappings. Rivals? Check. Skateboard? Check. Stereotypically girly female sidekick? Check. As an adult, it's a bit hard to watch more than one episode at a time, but hey, this is the manga that inspired Iron Chef. If you want something slower paced, seinen, but still with a food rivalry component, check out Oishinbo.
