What is the consensus on him? To me, he seems like a good chef with an ascorbic sense of wit. Barring the "standing on his chef board" fiasco, how is he ranked vs Gordon Ramsay, the people at The Chew, and Masterchef?
Also do you have any go to recipes from him that you enjoy

He's so boring and annoying
How is he boring? Beat Bobby Flay is the opposite of boring.
His entire personality is bland and passionless
Can you really be passionless when you make it to the upper echelons of the cooking industry?
He had a video stating that cooking saved his life and that he probably would've went to prison if he didn't follow that path. He's a strong silent type from NYC imo.
What chef do you look up to for inspiration?
>What chef do you look up to for inspiration?
inspiration for what? I like watching Babish if I'm trying to make something I've never done before because he usually does a couple of different versions of whatever, giving me some different ideas etc.
>He had a video stating that cooking saved his life and that he probably would've went to prison if he didn't follow that path
why is cooking the pastime of the troubled?
Because cooking and being a violent criminal are both extremely based and high test
Restaurants are the most "respectable" employers that don't mind if you're a felon with a drug problem
You can experiment with food, as a lot of it is cheap produce about to expire you get from the local grocers.
This too, but if you can keep a schedule and not steal they'll take just about anyone that knows how measure and keep time. By the time my kid is 5 they'll know how to cook, watch me do it every day and I test them on the timing, ingredients, etc. Get them a step ladder so they can watch and they'll be all over it.
this.
>every recipe
__(Type of meat)_______ with Ancho chili, (texmex style) with roasted (vegetable) with ancho chili sauce
*acerbic wit. Haha pardon the pun.
I kinda liked the show he had with his daughter hitting up NYC spots, but I'm pretty sure he's a homosexual. He comes off as fake and gay, literally.
bro he fricked Gianna
>my competitor is cooking a vietnamese dish
>i dont know anything about vietnam so here's a burger

Bobby is great
Growing up in AZ around a few big chefs in Scottsdale, I've got to meet him and try his food a few times. His Mexican food is pretty good... But so are most taco trucks here. He just puts pomegranate and a bunch of expensive shit on top. Ta-da! It's better now. Ya we know Bobby. $60 truffle oil tastes good, no duh. Like most chefs I've met, dude loves to drink and I'm pretty sure he's been a bit saucy a few times in the showdown kitchen.

based
I Absolutely love his show. Because he just styles on the contestants.
>Oh White boi Bobby Fray you can't beat my family's secret recipe for Bimbambrap
>Ya I think I heard of that one time in culinary school. I'm gonna add fresno chiles to it
And he wins everytime.
Nah it's more like
>here's a traditional dish that has been perfected for hundreds of years using a handful of simple ingredients
>ya so, I'm making simple dish but with lobster, filet mignon, Alaskan king crab, $100 bills and hot sauce
>wow the extra hot sauce and money tasted so good
>looks like you made the best oatmeal after all
Nah, its more like this
>EYYYYYYYY pepito es dey la Bobby Flay al la gringo. I challenge you to make my families secret molè pork
>Moles? *Bobby turns to the judges table where Aaron Sanchez is visibly sweating*
>Hey Aaron you love mole right thats just chocolate and chilli right? I'm gonna add fresno chiles and give it a southwestern texmex flair.
He still wins.
>ate at his restaurant in new york in like 2005
>some of the best food ive ever had
>best margarita I've ever had, bartender gave us the recipe
>loved every recipe I made by him
Douche but still vaguely nostalgic because he goes back to 90s Food Network before Gordon Ramsay ruined the whole thing forever.
He's definitely a big gay with an ego bigger than the sun and he's long been way more of a tv personality than a chef but I have no doubt that he can cook and when he was young he was serious about it. The studio lights cooked his brain, he would have been good if he stayed in the kitchen.
He's the normies version of Bourdain. Cringey pretentious prick with a swollen head, but without the fashion sense or broody hipster mystique that the try-hard Bourdain tried to maintain. I'd literally rather watch Guy Fieri make nachos with velveeta and hormel chili than either of those homosexuals.

Bobby Flay is way closer to Fieri than Bourdain. Flay is definitely more composed and high-end, but it's still that American-familiar regional ingredients and flavor profiles we all like. Flay seems annoying but nothing he put out ever looks gross, it looks like the kind of stuff that would absolutely stun and impress Applebees customers. Of all things that Flay is, I don't think I'd say he's pretentious.
>it looks like the kind of stuff that would absolutely stun and impress Applebees customers
This is his entire game. Boomers fricking love this dude
>Chef chooses some super esoteric "family tradition" in an attempt to best him
>Bobby replaces half the ingredients and still wins
Makes you think
To be fair, I think half the judges on Beat Bobby Flay are frauds. I also distrust all cooking shows in general as I have no idea how much time the plate has spent from the chef to the actual judging.
Any cooking show that refuses to let a chef put on a sauce or plate something because they were five seconds too late is gimmicky and not focused on quality. They should always consider stuff left behind.
The judges are usually a food network staole who happened to be in the studio that day like Amanda Frytag and some literal who.
He is a professionally trained chef within the French tradition with a massive natural talent
He is absolutely legit
I'd like his show more if the banter between the judges wasn't so painfully corny. The premise is interesting though and the fact that he wins almost every single time makes the few times he loses more satisfying.
>ascorbic sense of wit
moronic ESL
You didn't even read the thread
Here's another example of why this show is so great.
>Bobby Flay sir I dare you to redeem my families secret recipe for lamb vindaloo!
>Bobby winks at the camera as he turns to the indian chick from chick from Chopped at the judges table
>Vindaloo? I've made that once or twice. More like poo in the loo am I right?
>the audience in the upper balconies go wild
>Ya I'm gonna add fresno chilles to it
He still wins
His food always looks like shit just like Gordon Ramsay's.
