The fun of the series is watching how Souma thinks his way out of the problems he faces\u2014regardless of their origin. It also doesn\u2019t hurt that the supporting cast is entertaining to watch\u2014especially Poncho, the foodie who is more responsible for the kingdom\u2019s recovery than anyone else.
