All Flay is good for is southwestern anything and steak. I bet even his bread-pudding had corn and salsa in it.

Now I will definitely watch. I love when that arrogant jerk gets told that random people can cook things that 20 years of schooling and experience can’t teach him.

@Zach: Hmm… good point. I actually re-read that comment a few times because I had trouble determining his final meaning. I don’t like Flay so I’m totally reading everything with the feeling he lost, so that probably doesn’t help :)

You know me so well Bossman. It’s just all filler until the next Street Meat Palooza! :-)

Well okay, I’ll concede that some do get their kicks by watching, of so I’ve been told.

I’m not getting it, I find it hard to care what random people picked out of the crowd deem a winner. In fact, unless I know their palate and their favored flavor profiles I don’t real care what celebrity/chef/judges/experts think either. You can’t really live vicariously when it comes to the sensual, eating and sex in particular.

@Zach: that said, I also understand content is hard to come by ;-)

@Yvo – I saw that comment, but I actually read its meaning differently. The comment before it said

“I physically cannot wait for this update. I hope, and believe in my heart of hearts, that the DT will school Bobby Flay. I love seeing him lose, almost as much as I love the Dessert Truck.”

And the next comment (which you’re referring to) said:

“Bobby actually did a great job. It’s funny to see him lose but this one is going to be tough…”

What I read it to mean was “as much as I love to see bobby lose… this battle is going to be tough.”

Later the same guy commented on a different post saying “Both puddings were awesome! Tough choice!”

I ain’t saying Bobby didn’t lose… I’m just saying I don’t think that comment was a cut and dry official reveal.

Actually the winner was revealed on Serious Eats… in a comment. And Eater linked to that comment in their original “Should we or shouldn’t we?” post ;)
