The following have beaten Bobby Flay on "Iron Chef America":

Ming Tsai (Battle Duck)*
Michelle Bernstein (Battle Onion)
Beau MacMillan (Battle American Kobe Beef)
Laurent Tourondel (Battle Goat Cheese)
José Andrés (Battle Goat)*
Peter Kelly (Battle Ribeye)

In team competition, Bobby Flay and Giada De Laurentiis lost to Mario Batali
and Rachael Ray (Battle Cranberry)

Flay tied with:
the "Two Hot Tamales" (Battle Turkey)
Susur Lee (Battle Bacon)


So, troll, check your facts before trolling again.

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.

Ham and eggs.
A day's work for the chicken, a lifetime commitment for the pig.

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 ...

Talk about a voice - I never listen to her anymore since she started
yelling, snorting, grunting, gargling, squeeking, screaming --

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

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

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

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.

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.

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
reality the winner.

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.

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.

Fair comment....... It may be me but it seems that its always him
that wins.
I was just interested to see if others agreed.

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.

I have actually seen that... but it cannot be classified as "true BBQ".

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.

There are rumors about who he's banging, and it's not anyone's wife or
sister or mother!

Speaking for myself, I don't have animosity towards Flay; I'm merely
annoyed by him. His food is Chili's-calibre; his culinary repertoire
is limited; and he's a miserable speaker, constantly garbling his
words and sentences. I saw a show once where he pronounced the word
"chipotle" differently each time he said it. Flay also has the speech
impediment which plagues Jacko; instead of "reputation" Flay says
"weputation." It's very annoying.

You should have heard him trying to say "molcajete" on one of his older
shows. As near as I can reproduce what he said, it came out
"mole-cal-HELL-ta-lay."

Let's not also forget that his was the voice-over chosen to promote
"Gwillin' and Chillin'" week on Food Network.

Even so, I've noticed that his cooking on Iron Chef America has become more
varied and interesting these last couple of years, and that's what people
REALLY ought to care about, isn't it?

I agree with you that Flay's cooking on ICA has gotten better. For
the first few seasons it was absurdly predictable; he was in a wut. I
mean a rut.

Not to drive Flay-bashing into the ground, but there are a few other
things about him that annoy me. He talks with his mouth full and
chomps with his mouth open in a way that's *really* obnoxious.

Now, just about all the FN personalities do this; I wonder if Tuschman
tells them to or something. But Flay's the worst (though Guy Fieri's
catching up; he didn't do this at first, now he does it multiple times
per D,D, & D show).

There's some little annoyance in many of them. I just can't stand Paula's
voice.

But the main reason I don't watch her much is that I check her recipes
before I watch a show and you'd be surprised of how many of them are recipes
similar to the style of Sandra and Rachel -- using box cake mix, etc.

Yeah, I find PD's voice extremely annoying as well. I've never been
able to tolerate her for more than a few seconds.

the way he chews and talks can't hold a candle to a co-worker. It's
gross. People have tried to nicely tell her that it isn't considered
polite here in the US, but she hasn't gotten the hints to date. Other
than that, she's a very sweet person who wouldn't intentionally offend
anyone.

I was watching a 2005 Hell's Kitchen late last night where Pierre, the
maitre d' told a heavy-set contestant guy to stop touching his head (I
assume including his eyes, ears, hair, nose.)

I absolutely go bonkers in a restaurant when I see this. Something about
it! OMG!

Still working on our kitchen and had to go to hardware and McDonald's this
morning -- had coffee. DH went back up to pick up the little creamers. The
gal dropped one on the floor, picked it up and handed it to him. Did he
take it? No.

Yes, I'm neurotic, according to some -- not the time in my life to test my
immune system.
