Does non-battle battle anime count? In Yakitate!! Japan the characters participate in tournaments to see who can make the best bread. It feels very much like a battle shounen at times. In Kaguya-sama: Love is War two tsundere who've fallen for each other try to use dumb tactics to force the other person to be the first to admit it (though the show is a lot more than just that).

If you like Yakitate!! Japan, there's a whole genre of competitive cooking manga and anime that includes Chuuka Ichiban!/Cooking Master Boy and Shokugeki no Souma/Food Wars.

I've heard of Food Wars, but never Chuuka Ichiban!. I'll have to look it up sometime. Thanks!
