Allez Cuisine
es friends, a battle of WWF proportion will soon be underway on TV. Iron Chef Morimoto will battle Bobby Flay and, hopefully, kick his scrawny Yankee ass. What in the world am I talking about? If you want to know more, read on!
I know I'm the only one who constantly watches Food Network (from time to time I switch the Tech TV) but even for those who aren't food fans, Iron Chef is the show. It's funny, always interesting and the food looks great (even if I wouldn't eat it).
The concept of the show is a rich food connoisseur, Chairman Kaga, spent his millions to build a kitchen stadium and then scoured the world for the best chefs he could find (his Iron Chefs). Every week he teams them up against a challenger. He picks some mysterious ingredient as a "theme" and both Chefs get an hour to make food. The food is then judged and a winner is chosen. The show originally aired in Japan and in Japanese. It's been off the air there for some time. However, we get to see the occasional special and the poorly dubbed reruns here in the states.
So, what does the winner get? Basically nothing, but it's good fun.
What if the Iron Chef loses? Is he beaten with a cane by a hoard of angry men? Umm...no, but you seem a little to excited at that prospect. Calm down.
Is Kaga really a rich old guy who likes to eat? Yeah right. He's an actor. His name isn't even Kaga in real life (it's Katsuta Shigekatsu).
Is the show rigged? Probably, but who the heck cares? The WWF is rigged and it's popular. Leave the Iron Chefs alone.
Bobby Flay's show, Hot Off The Grill, on the other hand, is oftentimes boring and that bimbo he has on should be shot. Don't get me wrong, Flay is an ok guy, but he lacks the talent and luster the Iron Chef's have. FLAY IS GOING DOWN BABY...err...I'm not into this show at all...really. STOP staring at ME!
Ok, the real point of this entry is that my other main Food Network squeeze, Ming Tsai, feels the same way. This makes me like Ming even more than I did! Today, he had Iron Chef Morimoto on his show, East Meets West, and kept going on about Morimoto being his mentor and one of the best chefs he knows. Rock on Ming!
I've seen him diss Bobby Flay. Heck, Emeril Lagasse is often dissing Bobby Flay ("Don't let that Flay guy see me to this, he'll steal my fork a lemon trick"). When Emeril is dissing your cooking style, you know you're dong something wrong (I love Emeril too. He's just not really professional).
So, watch Food Network Sunday night for IC3 or else...or else you'll have no idea what I'm talking about and you'll just say, "hmm, I read some psycho food obsessed chick's blog today. My goodness, she was a freak!"

First of all, your hypocrisy is amazing considering you're doing the very same thing you're condemning others of doing (only in a more ridiculous and retarded manner). Secondly, did you take the time to see how old this entry is? 2001...that's about five years ago (subtract 1 from 6 and you get 5, in case you didn't know). I'd say you're pretty damn pathetic for digging up five year old articles and ranting like a horse's ass in favor of a moron (ie: Booby Flay) who couldn't give two shits about you.
Do the universe a favor and go play in traffic. I realize that most vehicles you come across in your trailer park are up on cement blocks, but I'm sure there's some relative of yours that you've slept with who'd be willing to run your ass down.
You fucktards are all fucking retarded. I haven't eaten at any of his restaurants, and I bet you snowt nosed mother fucking bitches haven't either. You skanks sound so fucking retarded complaining about this. I bet you can't live without saying, "Oh my fucking god, Bobby Flay sucks." You pshycho-bitches probably don't know how to make fucking cereal. I believe that all of you cock-sucking bastards that sit on their fat asses all day watching TV and making fun of people like Bobby Flay that are TEN times better then you should get a lofe or go to fucking hell. We need the oxygen you're sucking up.
I hate Bobby Flay and his overrated restaurants (thank God it was expensed!) so very, very much. Thank you.
Booby Flay IS an asshole! I am not sorry for saying that. His display of respect (or I should say, lack thereof) when he jumped up on the cutting board during the Iron Chef battle was a travesty! He's also proven that he is a sore loser - demanded a rematch because he lost the battle... how sad is that? It's disgusting! Not to mention, watching the way he treats people with whom he is supposed to be learning and experiencing new things... it's really inappropriate. Food TV needs to get rid of him. We need more Alton Brown - THAT man is awesome, funny and informative and not in the least bit rude or inconsiderate. (Of course, my favorite is, and always will be Emeril - BAM!)
So I guess this isn't the place for Bolo or Mesa reccomendations huh? LMAO. Why not hate that fat pig farker Molto Mario. FOODSNOB, he act's like we aren't good enough to eat the food He has so graciously prepared for the proletariat.
Thanx folks
what a bunch of morons
hi everyone,
just to set the record straight,(i have no direct or indirect business with this chef/restaurator/tv celebrity)but i have dined at both his places in NYC several times and i can honnestly tell u it had always been a good time with whoever i spend it with.BoLo and Mesa seemed to be crusing on a steady pace with two geometricaly different cuisines well executed, attractive and a very friendly,knowledgable staff that reflects Bobby Flay's vision of dynamic and nouvelle cuisine.
Try before starting a dislike trend.
how silly will u feel when u see again judging a book from.....
Bon Appetit.
I get a tremendous kick out of all you guys who are preaching about others lacking "a life"... How many of you third rate burger flippers are going to deem yourselves "Emeril" and "Alton Brown", then get on your soapbox about how everyone should smooch Bobby Flay's ass because he knows how to make blue cheese chipotle mashed potatoes?
Oh, OK - you obviously live life like a rock star... ha!
By the way, has anybody checked out that Gordon Ramsey show on BBC America? If any of you chef stalkers wants to start a fan club, I'll join his, that sexy English mother
Oh, and Rick Bayless got totally robbed on Iron Chef last week. Bobby Flay doesn't deserve to bus tables at Adobo Grill.
Mr. "successfull network engineer with lots of technical training and experience" can't figure out that you only press "Post" once so he posts his comment twice. Good show ole' bean! Who says we're not doing what we want and being successful at it? Do you know what I do for a living?
As for the blog sucking and us having too much time on our hands to make fun of Flay, you'll probably notice that the blog sucks because we don't update it that often. This *could* be because we actually have real lives.
Technical terms: Huh? Just because we don't write like a 10 year old child we use technical terms? Ok. That makes sense.
As for us taking Flay too seriously, perhaps you're the ones who take him too seriously. Most of our posts about Flay are written with humor in mind. I don't really have plans to seek him out and cause him any harm or go to his place and cause a scene. Iron Chef is like the WWF, imho, and it's fair to make a bigger deal out of things than things really are. They do it on television too. Also, this is a rant site and some hyperbole...yes a big word, I'm sorry, is to be expected.
Get a life people.
listen u idiots........everyone that hates flay can go suck an egg cuz as far as i can tell ur "weblog" really isnt that great the only reason why i was here to being with is because u said u hate bobby flay and as to what i think of your outrageous opinion......you are completly wrong....bobby flay is a great cook your just too big of a cock to understand that. Your just one of those agressive fat guys that sits on his ass all day watching tv and making fun of people that your are jealous of because they are actually making something out of their lives other than being a fat ass comic book reading 35 year old that still lives with his mother. GET A LIFE!!!!! Oh and dont try to use your technical terms when responding to my comment because u know what everytime u do that your just proving to me how sad you are and the people that agree with your are.
Geez, I had no idea there were such mental midgets out there in cyber-land. So you hate Bobby Flay huh? Good for you. I've seen his shows, I've seen him on Iron Chef. Sure, he's a cocky bastard, but he's successful at something he loves to do. How many of you can say that? I'm a successful network engineer with lots of technical training and experience under my belt. When I'm "in my element" I can be a cocky bastard too. I've pissed off my share of moron, idiot users. And I don't care. I know my job, and I know they don't have a clue. Bobby has more experience as a restauranteur and chef than you have with masturbating. So go back to your favorite, solitary pasttime, and figure out how to hide the semen stains from your mommy on laundry day. Leave us grownups to do our jobs so we can feed you and wipe your snotty little nose, and your shitty little ass. You don't seem to have a really good reason for being alive except to suck up perfectly good oxygen that the rest of us need. So shut up and piss off you, good-for-nothing, otiose, pansified, little epicene!

First of all, the webring was setup in an hour as a joke and as prick1 pointed out, it hasn't been updated since the day we set it up (until prick1 pointed it out and said we should update it). Secondly, anti-American? WTF? I don't recall having said anything Anti-American. I think I care more about American than the majority of idiots who voted in the last election.
And before you even start with "OMG this is a weblog not a website!!!1," I'm referring to your webring page.
Also, all the anti-American sentiment is nauseating.
Please. If you have nothing better to do with your time than make webpages about your hate for a personality on the Food Network, you must live quite a sad and patheticic existance.
Hasn't anyone told you to use that when you're (not your, hon) going to use a contraction, you should use an apostrophe?
Didn't your first grade English teacher teach you that "your" is assigning ownership of something, like "your socks" or "your stupid comments." Perhaps you're trying to say that you own weirdness. I'll go along with you on that usage.
Didn't your mother ever teach you that if you don't know how to use the English language, you shouldn't say anything at all?
Don't you know enough about the web to realize that this is not a Bobby Flay site? This is a weblog.
Questions are fun!
I like bobby flay, you all have issue to go this far out to make a website... r u all like 5?
hasnt anyone told you that if you have nothing nice to say you shouldnt say anything at all.
None of you know him in person, and i dont either.... this is the same type of hatred people have toward Shannon Doherty or Paris hilton.. your all weird.
I am a member of the ring, not because of Bobby Flay's cooking - but of the fact that he reminds me of every swaggering, jackass, overcompensating for a tiny little dick loser that I ever worked with in the restaurant industry. So when are you getting the "I hate Rocco DiSpirito" ring going? Cause baby, THAT piece of shit makes Bobby Flay seem like he might still have a glimmer of hope for a tolerable personality...
i cant believe this guy is engaged to stephanie march from law and order suv, im sorry but is he amazing in the sack or something? how is a beautiful intelligent, sexy and vivacious woman dating, and engaged to this twat?
If you love Flay, you're a sicko and should be shot.
I'm not an Emeril fan, either, so attacking him does nothing. He at least isn't a horse's ass on tv.
THIS SITE ISN'T ABOUT FLAY, YOU IGNORANT FUCKTARD! *ahem*
Flay probably couldn't care less about what we think of him. I suggest you follow in your "hero's" footsteps and not take everything you read online like a personal attack (except where I called you an ignorant fucktard).
That is all.
what? i love bobby flay. he is exciting and keeps your atttention. what are you saying people change the channel when he's on? that can't be true or else he wouldn't have 3 freakin shows in Food Network! how many does emeril have? oh that's right. you people should be run over by a bus for taking so much time to develope a website about someone you don't like. i'm just telling you I LOVE BOBBY FLAY! and if he read this he'd freakin bbq your ass.
What people fail to realize is that we *do* change the channel when he comes on. I never watch a show when I know he's on it with the exception of the Iron Chef America thing. Why do you think all we do is sit in front of the tv and watch him and then immediately come on here to post about it? This is a general blog site where we post about a number of different topics; just because that boob is one of them doesn't mean this site is dedicated to bitching about him. This particular post was done three years ago, so you're a little late.
That said, if we want to have a go at the morons who figure "HE IS TEH HOTT!!!111" then we will as it is *our* site and we may do so. If you argue with that and don't like that we do it, you also have the option of hitting "back" on your browser and not viewing it. It is that easy. I don't think any of us really appreciate people coming in and telling us what we should and shouldn't post on our own site.
As far as actually eating at the vomit palace, I would not give him the satisfaction of my money or time. I don't care if he is some great and wonderful chef; the fact that he's an asshat of epic proportions is enough to turn me off to even giving him a chance. If he didn't want people to judge him by his *gasp* personality, then he shouldn't treat his guests (or his employees judging by a few of the comments we've gotten) like they're idiots. I'd fork out money to Emeril before giving it to Booby just for the simple fact that Emeril actually seems like a decent guy and I wouldn't mind supporting him in my own meager way (and I don't particularily care for him, either). He doesn't have some raving god complex like Flay (at least he doesn't dish it out to people). Besides that, Flay's stuff just doesn't appeal to me, plain and simple.
He really couldn't give two shits about what a few of us have to say about him, I assure you, so I don't see why anybody else should care. If we feel we want to complain about what a whiney little pissant he is, so be it (he's proven that to be true a few times, afterall). As a television personality, he (and his fans) need to realize that it's going to happen regardless and you need to just deal with the fact that there are people who hate him with good reason and nutjobs who don't. While you're always going to have people agreeing/disagreeing on his looks, attitude, etc, the same will happen in regards to his cooking (some will like it while others won't), so if you want to view it in those terms, it's a lose/lose arguement for all parties involved. In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy the few slams I can toss in his direction and get a few laughs out of those who want to have his mutant spawn.
OK guys and gals. It's apparent that there are those who love Bobby Flay and those who literally hate him for whatever reasons. Some say that he can't cook, is arrogant, etc., and the opposing view say that he is sexy, is a successful business person, etc. We will never come to an agreement on the popularity of B. Flay. Personally, it was the lost in the Iron Chef that got me thinking about his culinary abilities, but more importantly, his lack of understanding of culinary etiquette. Ultimately, the question that is most important is: Can Bobby Flay cook and is his cooking creative and does he have the ability to excite our taste buds regardless of his appearance and arrogance. I think that the only way to judge him as a chef is to TASTE his food. What we see on the boob tube can't be the bases of our ultimate opinion of him as a chef. I believe that most of you would agree to this. Look, some people just don't like Emeril on the tube, but when it comes to taste, I believe that his cooking, presentation, creativity, etc., is well worth the expense of a luncheon. I have tried Emeril's at the MGM in Las Vegas and have to admit that his food is wonderful and I don't particularly enjoy seeing him on T.v. So B. Flay beat the Iron Chef Morimoto whose creations of culinary delights are unquestionably incredible...but that's just a matter of taste. I say if you don't enjoy watching B. Flay on the t.v. then you have the option of changing the channel. If this doesn't suit you, then you can post your negative opinion on this web site, but the question is very simple: Have you tasted his cooking?
Flay made a mistake with his disrespectful "cutting board" antic. As a son of a "Japanese chef" and a frequent visitor to Japan, I was also shocked and disappointed with Mr. Flay's behavior. I am also a fan of the food network and believe that Mr. Flay has talent in the culinary arena. He will be opening a restaurant at Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas and I will definitely test his skills. From there I will make a decision on whether he has the ability to create dishes that are original and tasty. Often times, fame can change an individual and may come off as arrogant & conceited, but it is only fair to recognize if the individual has any gifts in his/her profession. I, too, found it almost impossible for Flay to beat any of the Iron Chefs. The matter of taste is difficult to judge, influenced by cultures. I remember many years ago when sushi/sashimi was not popular in the U.S.A. and the thought of eating raw fish was unthinkable.
Hi everyone,
I am a frequent Food TV viewer and I don’t like Bobby Flay too. When one of his shows comes on I switch the channel. He comes up as an arrogant and narcissistic man. His speech is deficient and uninteresting. His sidekick “Jackie” is a boring lady and his recipes create flavors that are too overwhelming. I think that he is a good grilling cook. To his credit he is an entrepreneur with several cookbooks and restaurants and has managed to have several TV shows for a few years. It is now time to bring back Julia Child’s reruns to replace him so we all can learn how to cook from a chef.
I think that people on this site should stop attacking Bobby Flay personally, but rather focus on his deficiencies as a “chef”.
What most of you turds fail to see is that Bobby Flay is actualy a "pretty good" chef but a "great" business man. He knows and understands the business and markets himself perfectly. He makes miilions! There's more to cooking than just cooking...that's what I like about him and Emril too!
He isn't anywhere *near* the caliber of many of those chefs. I'm more than convinced that his whiney pussiness prompted the organizers to just give the IC matches to him. Otherwise, he'll whine and cry about how unfair everything was, blah blah blah.
He's proven himself a sore loser and an immature child. That's more than enough proof for me to hate his sorry ass.
Bobby Flay beat me in Iron Chef America. Bobby Flay is the best!
I'm not going to judge Flay's culinary skill or status, however, the single main reason I dislike Bobby Flay is because of his outrageous cockiness. He isn't necesserily the best chef out there, but he acts as if he was.
No, we hate him because he sucks ass, is a shitty "chef," and he thinks he's some genius for his "creative" use of corn.
Thank you.
you hate bobby because your are jealous of his success with his show and his restaurant,your nothing but a loser who needs to get a life.
Hmm, I don't think you people get the point. Let's say Bobby Flay could beat me in a "cook off" (I won't argue that I'd win or not, that's besides the point). So? I have no profesional training. Let's take the worst player on any High School football team. Could he beat me in football? Well, hell yeah. I'm not really trained to play football. I understand the game enough to know who's good and who's bad but I don't really play it. Could the high school loser play with the big boys? Doubtful. They'd kick his scrawing hiney and he run crying that it was an unfair match. Remind you of anyone?
I don't see how Flay being a better "cook" (your words, not mine) than I am makes him a great chef. It makes him a better cook than someone who's had no profesional training, who doesn't travel around to demonstrations of different methods, who doesn't visit foreign countries to learn their cuisine, who's never even waited a table let alone worked in a profesional kitchen a day in her life. My point is, with as much training as Flay has had, he should really be better than the guy at the Olive Garden. There are certain things that make the great chefs great. Flay possesses none of those. He reminds me of a chef in a place like the Macaroni Grill. He's alright, but nothing special.
I won't even comment on Emerill.
As for the comment on the cutting board, explain why he disrespected Morimoto again in the second battle? I do think that the whole thing is like the WWF and fake, no matter what Bobby says. The fact that he swears it's real and did something equally as dumb and did it that time just to make fun of Morimoto (if it is real) makes him an even bigger ass.
what the fuck is your problem you skank? why don't you challenge him to a cook off so he could kick you ass in the kitchen you psyco-bitch!!!you SHOULD get a life.oh and by the way emeril's better than those iron chef mother fuckers ok,thank you.
Pfft...LOL! We can hate whomever we want to, my dear. Nothing on this website is slanderous. Just because you have shitty taste in "mentors" doesn't mean we don't have the right to hate the bastard.
Get it and deal with it. Soak it in, dumbass. You posted this crap four times on this website...what kind of a loser with no life does that?
This is the stupidest shit I have ever seen! Bobby is a great guy, and an excellent chef! This whole "I hate Bobby" web ring is as stupid as the people who started it! He explained everything in the food network chat "
zebra-guest: What made you jump up on the cutting board? Why was the reaction so negative?
Bobby_Flay: Towards the end of the competition my sous chef and I were so excited to have completed all the dishes we wanted to finish. It was actually a reaction of relief, and my sous chef picked me up and put me on the cutting board. We apparently offended Morimoto, which is the last thing we wanted to do."
Get that through your thick skulls you idiots. The only reason I am even wasting my time posting this message is because Bobby Flay is like, my mentor, and I don't like it when people slander others name. He's to great a person to take this crap.
Of course you like Flay; you're a moron with an affection for no-talent waste of space wannabe chefs who jig on the cutting board before carving the food served to his customers on it. Mystery solved!
I'll bet you'll be able to sleep better tonight knowing that I cleared that up for you.
Hey, I like Flay!!! Can't wait to get into the City to visit one of his restaurants! I also find his show to be WONDERFUL and he sure is FINE!!!
I find no reason for anyone to dislike him! I'd sure as hell like to cook with him (and I'm not talking with any food either!!!)
You just hate him because YOU probably can't fucking cook to start with and are jealous of anyone who can!!! Bet your dumb ass can't even boil water!!! 8-P
Says the one who can't even spell "probably"...
Thank you, Mr. Pot, for proving the idiocy of Booby Flay fans everywhere.
you guys probly cant even make cereal. you guys are total idiots
That's a good point, he doesn't make them wash, does he? I watched the show maybe twice and never paid attention.
That is sick :P. Makes you wonder if he follows that same policy at his restaurants.
Wow i didnt know anybody hated bobby flay. I was just looking for his websight so that I could write him. I wanted to tell him how gross it is that he lets poeple come out of the audience and cook without washing their hands. I cannot stand to watch his show because of it.
Well, you're a sick psychopath. Have a nice day.
I think he's a good chef and I also think he's sexy too.
Actually, LadyX, I was just doing that today. Hey, I'll glady admit I have nothing better to do than hate Bobby Flay. Everyone's gotta have a hobby.
What makes you think we're all just sitting around hating him? Gee, I don't think any of us sit around just thinking "man, I hate that Flay guy." Making assumptions makes an ass of you.
Don't you have anything better to do than sit around liking Flay?
don't yal have something better to do then just sit around and hate Bobby Flay?
Bobby Flay does! I think that's the only reason why he actually won the rematch; because they just didn't want to listen to his silly whining anymore.
WHat kind of shef stands on his fucking cutting board anyways. And then proceeds to through flower in the air. And then proceeds to cqall for a rmatch because he lost in his hime city. WHAT A JERK!
FLAY IS GOING DOWN!!!
Wow, you guys should get a freakin' life. I think it's pretty apparent that I have.
You do realize somebody writes his cookbooks, correct?
Flay may suck but I have made his dishes and they are Terrific!!
Flay sucks...that prick. I can't stand him *rant rant complain diss*. Bah, I hope he thwacks himself in the face with his spatula and he loses his oven mits. Bastard...
