    Now you KNOW that one was fixed. Rachel Ray? Beating a real chef? Not a
    chance in the world. I'm sure she makes some great franks and beans and her
    grilled cheese sandwiches are probably awesome, but Flay could wipe her ass
    all over the floor.


    I don't watch Iron Chef very often, but I actually saw that one twice
    due to seasonal circumstances. Rachael Ray and Giada De Laurentis
    were station chefs, they weren't calling the shots. IMO, RR did a
    great job.

    How is it that everytime Bobby Flay cooks on Iron Chef he wins???
    Most times the other chef is streets ahead but Bobby always wins.

    Must be his frightening demeanor. 🙂

    Forget about Bobby Flay, he's ok.... that British kid (whatever his
    name is/was) has the absoute worst lisp. It drove me nuts! I still
    can't believe FoodTV let him go in front of the camera without giving
    him speech therapy. He's a good cook and did interesting things, but
    I couldn't stand to hear him talk.

    Jamie Oliver. I couldn't stand watching and listening to him
    talk. Apparently some chicks dig it. I think he's
    greasy-looking.


    Thank you, YES - Jamie Oliver! I don't understand either what was
    sexually appealing about him, but to each her own. Oh, WAIT! I get
    it.... he's guy that cooks.

    I don't know if you noticed, but I have. The tables have turned! Now
    guy cooks, girls don't. Women of my generation put so much effort
    into making their sons equal partners, they apparently forgot
    cooking/cleaning wasn't an xx gene.

    In any case, at least Jamie is a good cook - even though I can't stand
    to hear him talk.

    I noticed that RR did a lot of stirring. She has a good strong arm. Batali
    kept her busy. He normally has a great sous-chef, and I don't recall if she
    was there on that show or not -- Anne ...

    I suppose if people want to see Bobby get what he deserves, they can always
    watch him on "Throwdown with Bobby Flay." Has anyone ever seen him win on
    that show? Or is that what the title implies, that he is 'always' thrown
    down?

    He has won, though the category doesn't come to mind. He
    doesn't seem to compete to win, though, he makes a version
    of the food that lets the home team win the category.

    Well, I have to agree with many of you, about his voice and his friends.
    I remember when the "naked chef" was first mentioned, some of the
    members of rec.nude were all atwitter. It was a disappointment, for sure.

    Nah, Batali's the one who almost always wins -- though even his
    winning rate is way below Sakai and some of the other original Iron
    Chefs.

    Flay loses often enough -- and his wins, interestingly, are often
    paper-thin.

    Father/unclue/brother, maybe.

    On his early shows he was flapping that hand around like he
    didn't have any wrist muscles. And that lisp...

    Glad to see he may have gotten that fixed, at least publicly.

    Not that it has anything to do with the merits or demerits of Flay's
    cooking, but there a blind item some time back, clearly about Flay --
    and his romp with a transsexual. (I know Flay has a trophy bride.)

    Now you KNOW that one was fixed. Rachel Ray? Beating a real chef? Not a
    chance in the world. I'm sure she makes some great franks and beans and her

    No, it wasn't fixed. It was Ray and DeLaurentis assisting Batali and
    Flay respectively. It was Batali who won that battle -- and Flay was
    clearly unhappy to be competing against him.

    I agree. RR was way more hands-on than DeLaurentis was on that
    episode. DeLaurentis was a lost, flustered prima-donna.

    Her voice is grating -- and sometimes it's extremely hoarse.

    Flay is always unhappy to be competing. I get the feeling in his mind befoe
    the contest even starts, he's thinking why don't they just make me the
    winner now and forget all the formality? It's why he is so loved.

    Her teasers for her talk show, they're bad enough, then they
    tack on the same recording of her saying TODAY AT 10!!
    It's louder than the rest of the commercial and it's at her hoarsest.
    First time Ron heard that from the kitchen he said What was
    that?? It's just Rachel Ray, she's on later at 10. Geez.

    Fair comment....... It may be me but it seems that its always him

    I was just interested to see if others agreed.

    I think the Throwdown show was a means of putting him in the public's face
    as a 'likable' television personality and not the snot he appears on his
    other shows. On this he does end up on the losing side of a contest it is
    all for local publicity, etc. so he, when they return to the network, is in
    reality the winner.
