Throwdown has really turned me into a big Bobby Flay fanboy.
I will admit I find him a lot less obnoxious there than on ICA, mainly because he usually knows when he's not in his element.
And even when I think he's being an ass, his food usually looks really good.
Um, yeah. You do.
Oh hells yes. [link] Guh.
Insert Homer Simpson patented drool noise.
I will admit I find him a lot less obnoxious there than on ICA,
He's a very gracious loser
and
winner on Throwdown, which has really charmed me.
I prefer Flay on Throwdown to ICA because on Throwdown he's forced out of his comfort zone and will occasionally cook something that's not grilled with a spice rub and drizzled with three different kinds of honey-spiked chili sauce.
I mean congratulations on your well-defined culinary point-of-view, but COME THE FUCK ON, BOBBY THE VIEWERS ARE BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORED.
(And yet? Still rather have a beer with him than with Batali. Maybe because he doesn't try to pretend he's a nice guy.)
I'd probably rather have a beer with Bobby, but a bender with Batali.
But you'd drop them both for Bourdain, am I right?
And if you go out with Bourdain, I imagine you're going on a bender whether you like it or not.
