Happen to catch this on Food Network last night while flipping through the channels.

I think Bobby could have won, but he used Jicama sticks instead of celery, and that was one thing the judges pointed out that for presentation, celery and carrots was the way to go.

 

Here's an article on it.

Why chef's feel the need to !@#$ with the classics is beyond me.

Speaking of wings, I just tried a new variation on standard Franks Red Hot. All you do is add a bit of Cajun Seasoning (I'm assuming any brand would work, it's about $5 - $6 at any grocery store for a standard salt shaker size container of it - or much less per ounce if you go to BJs, etc). Mix desired amount with Franks and (and this is the only time i add this to franks) some butter/margarine. Its DELICIOUS and also good for dipping pretty much anything in (fries, pizza crust, etc).

I can't stand Bobby Flay. I saw him on the original Japanese Iron Chef about 3 years ago. On a one hour show he managed to electrocute and cut himself in a losing effort. What a joke. He's a one trick pony with his southwestern chipotle BS. :wallbash:

Yeah Chef's never cut themselves, especially when they are under the guy. You should have seen what my fingers looked like.

Did you hear how they announced Buffalo at the beginning of the show? "Home of the Sabers...and home of the Bisons." Uh? How about the Bills? How do you mention a minor league team over the Bills?

I had no problem with him electrocuting and cutting himself. It was allowing himself to be hoisted onto the prep table at the end that was embarrassing.

I agree. Theresa's Bellissimo off-the-cuff recipe is what makes the wings so special. She needed to feed the boys quickly and the kitchen was closed. So she (I'll apologize in advance for this) had to wing it. The wings were used for stock and bleu cheese is the Anchor Bar house dressing. Like the wings, the celery was right there. Ever so rarely, there is a time and place in the universe where everything comes together and magic happens. This was one of those times.

 

We're all so much richer for it. :wallbash:

The worst is ranch dressing instead of bleu cheese. :wallbash:

 

You got that right. Some !@#$ers think they're basically the same thing.

 

As for Flay, I think the Jicama sticks pretty much says all you need to know.
