Prime Time with Bobby Flay

Stop the presses!

“Is grilling your passion? Food Network is looking for fun and outgoing men and women who like to create tasty inventions on the grill. If you love to experiment with burgers, seafood, ribs, fish, pork or poultry, and have a unique recipe ready to share on Food Network, upload one of your favorite recipes and explain why it’s so special to you.”

Yes Bobby Flay wants you!

If I had the time to pull something together, I’d walk Bobby through my award winning barbecue chicken recipe and technique.

1. My yellow mustard glue

2. Secret spice rub

3. Hardwood charcoal- read hot.

4. Big Ricks BBQ Sauce

5. Pure grilling muscle.

Bobby Flay- Throwdown this!

Who would of thought that “chefs” would become pop culture icons? Thanks to the Food Network, Rachel, Emerill, Bobby, and several other foodies are now celebrities.

Good or bad?

As much as many reality TV shows are now nothing more than brain-numbing exercises in self indulgency, there are a few shows, especially on the Food Network that remain entertaining (anyone remember Jeff Smith, the Frugal Gourmet? Where would he of been  with a cable deal…and none of the other stuff) 

There is something about Iron Chef that is very entertaining. Even with the soon-to-be-very annoying Alton Brown (who was OK at first on his own show but now borders on serious lameness), Iron Chef is fun to watch.

Bobby Flay is another celebrity that approaches annoying, but hasn’t jumped the shark yet. He comes across as a cocky prima donna, and a bit over produced, but his Throwdown show isn’t bad.

The concept is actually terrific. Almost biblical (think David vs. the big guy).  Rocky-esque. Young Skywalker vs. the Death Star.

Inspiring.  In fact I want a piece of Bobby.  Do you hear me Bobby? Let’s throwdown on some wings. Anywhere, anytime.

If any of you know Bobby, forward this challenge to him! This middle-aged, midwesterner with a slowly expanding midsection can do a mean wing.

Bring it on Bobby boy!
