1988's Oishinbo (aka The Gourmet) is a show I've written about here before. A while back ANBU (whatever happened with them?) fansubbed the first two episodes. And this is really is one of those shows that fansubbing exists for.
So it's kind of a shame only the first episodes have been fansubbed, and the torrents for them are long dead… Maybe you can find them eMule or something.
By the looks of things there is a live action version too, and the manga seems to have a massive popularity (80+ volumes, with print runs for each at over a million).
It's somewhat annoying that shows like this one, which obviously have a broad mainstream appeal in Japan linger in obscurity while the latest otaku trash finds fansubbers.
