"Damen Show", in the lingo of Japanese cooking show Dotch, is where a piece of food is sliced down the middle to show the tender, juicy, crispy, textures of whatever has just been created by top notch chefs from the most expensive or exclusive ingredients in Japan. "Cross Section Show" it means, but the lusciousness of each culinary vivisection is essential to winning a game where contestants compete for a bite to eat. A little bit Iron Chef, with less haute innovation tips to glean, and a little bit marketing ploy, but more interesting than watching a regular commercial, Dotch is a cross section of Asian pop tastes and historical dishes.
