And that lisp...
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.

never thought he was much to look at, although some of his dishes had potential. My main concern was the tongue thrust lisp he had, I was always wondering who would eat the food after he spit on it....sorta like putting a chef's toque on Daffy Duck. -ginny

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.

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

I remember well him and Jaquie Malouf, She had quite a touch when it came to clipping his wings. You could tell he was getting really steamy under the collar and she would have a wicked grin on her face. Wonder what ever happened to her?

Bobby Flay's wife on a cooking show asked Bobby how come he used both baking powder and baking soda in his biscuits; he said, (I paraphrasing) because they act different; she said, (I'm paraphrasing) All right! I think his wife being on the show the time I saw it was silly. I guess she's a star in her own right, but I never have heard of her.
I don't react to Bobby the way some people do, I think he's OK, and I like the throwdowns; I'll watch all of the Iron Chef America's that he's in.

I think Flay likes to give hints about things, like baking powder vs baking soda, and he expects (correctly) that anyone who wants to know more will do the research themselves. He's right. There's no point in spoon feeding knowledge to lazy slobs who can't get off their fat asses and go to the library, and read two or three or forty seven books to find the knowledge they need.
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.
I noticed that RR did a lot of stirring. She has a good strong arm. Batali kept her busy.
She made a cranberry curd. She spent most of the show stirring it. The judges liked it. Mario and Anne did pretty much everything else.

Yes, she was there. Among other things, she made a pasta dough for one of Mario's dishes and she made some kind of pastry to hold Rachael's curd.

Want to see something funny? Try recording "30 Minute Meals" and then playing it back in slow motion. Her facial expressions and gestures are FREAKISH in slow motion.

I don't understand why people are obsessed with "Throw Down" which I never watch and "Iron Chef" which I almost never watch. What about his other shows? Hot Off the Grill FoodNation Boy Meets Grill BBQ with Bobby Flay
The one I seem to see the most is Boy Meets Grill - and I like it.

Flay's covering all bases :-) I don't watch the ones mentioned above -- I've tuned in, but don't care for them. So, I guess he's got something for many. It must be the competition for me -- as the two I like are of that sort. Dee Dee

Why the animosity toward Flay? Is he banging your wife/sister/mother?
I've never gotten a definitive answer to that question. To me, he wins Iron Chef because of the textures, tastes and layers of flavor that he develops in his dishes, at least that's what the judges compliment him on. I like the guy.

It's one of several methods which work, if you do it right.
Boiling meat is how you make meat stock. If you want to leach flavor out of your meat, be my guest. In my experience, meat is flaverless enough as it is without making it worse.

Depends on how you parboil it, obviously. I've done it with ribs and finished them on the grill. They were spectacular.
To paraphrase Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinnie, do the laws of physics cease to exist on YOUR stove. Does water boil differently on YOUR stove than on any other stove on the face of the Earth? Is this a magic stove?

Stop being silly right this minute. :-)
You can boil longer, or shorter. You can spice the water as you would for crayfish, for instance. There are plenty of variables.

Perhaps not, but there is no doubt he did it for one of the cooking magazines several years ago when he did a bbq ribs recipe in a bbq themed issue. The very first step he instructed was to boil the ribs in water. I put the magazine down and slowly backed away from the newsstand. I never picked up that particular rag or purposely watched BF again. Besides, he strikes me being kind of a pompous ass, anyway.
