Comments on: Wafels & Dinges Completely “Fooled” by Throwdown http://midtownlunch.com/2009/10/27/waffle-throwdown/ Food Adventures for Your Urban Lunch Hour Fri, 25 May 2012 21:25:11 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: BigAppleScowl http://midtownlunch.com/2009/10/27/waffle-throwdown/comment-page-1/#comment-224749 BigAppleScowl Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:21:04 +0000 http://midtownlunch.com/?p=10553#comment-224749 I've seen this show and agree it crosses a line that makes it uncomfortable to watch. To be set up by the Food Network and ambushed by Bobby Flay just lacks common decency. I recall one of Flay's ambushes on a guy who supposedly made the best donuts in NYC kind of backfired. The guy was having a big, fun event to sort of celebrate finally "making it" after years of struggling, then this giant buzz kill walks in the door to challenge him to make a better donut than Bobby Flay. The donut guy was all "WTF?!". It was like watching a slow motion car wreck. I’ve seen this show and agree it crosses a line that makes it uncomfortable to watch.

Of course, that makes it a bit shameful when Bobby does manage to win. But even when the contestant loses in disgrace, the sound of the cash register opening and closing undoubtedly softens the blow.
