It’s almost weird how much this two are similar. School where basicaly only one thing matters (Cooking/Gambling), where a Newcomer starts to challenge everyone and make waves on the school. We also have Council of Students that are the best and most powerful and basically dominate the school. One more thing that’s similar are the mind games. Most of the time you never hear what Souma or Yumeko are thinking, instead it’s the tag along (Tadokoro & Suzui) that have a game going through their head and going into a panic over what is gonna happen and how Souma/Yumeko is gonna win this.

Both are food anime. Yakitate Japan focuses on bread and Food Wars focuses in food in general. The great thing about the two are the reactions the ones eating the food get.
