And the call rang out from across the lands: FILLET FLAY
As my fellow blogee(?) already pointed out, Bobby Flay won the Iron Chef battle. Before doing so, he insulted Japan once again by acting like and asshole and confirming their suspicions that American's are pompous, culture ignorant, self-centered morons. Way to go Bobby! I knew we could count on you to be a cultural ambassador.
All I can say is that I hope your restaurant goes out of business and that Morimoto's new restaurant in PA (To the one who lives in PA: You've got to check it out! :-) prospers because anyone can tell, even if he isn't the better of Chefs (and honestly, Bobby's dishes looked better to my American tastes) he is the better man. He has honor, respect and dignity. You on the other hand are a pompous dork who whines until he gets his way and uses corn like it's going out of style.

Chef Feenie also speaks about adding the Iron Chef items, including the Crab Panna Cotta in this radio interview (courtesy of CKNW). Fast forward to about the 35:15 mark. Some really interesting behind the scenes stuff ... and some dirt on Morimoto leaving in a huff!

It's this link above interviewing Chef Rob Feenie who beat Morimoto. Rob Feenie talks about the requirements of what you are allowed to bring, how long the judging actually is, and how Morimoto threw a hissy fit after he lost. LOL. I bet if that was Flay you Flay haters would be all over him like white on rice, but since its "humble" Japanese Masuharu Morimoto you Flay haters won't say anything bad about him.
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 is to be expected.
Bobby knows about the anti-Flay ring. He said something to the effect of once they stop talking about me is when I'll start to worry. If he doesn't care, why should you?
Good greif.
Before, I didn't like Flay at all. After reading the anti-Flay articles on the net, I'm actually starting to feel compassion for him. I started watching his shows after reading "The Staggering Dicketry of Bobby Flay" on Flakmagazine. Now, I'm actually starting to like his programs.
All you Flay protesters need to start looking at this from different perspectives instead of with a one-track mind. Flay is not all that horrible, and don't critisize someone you've only seen on tv. You don't know him well enough you call him "corn fucker" and "fucknugget".
Even though some of you have good reasons for putting him down, try to see the other side. Don't act like foolish children and stop your whining. No one likes a hypocrite. Oh, and stop swearing like you can't close your mouths. It's very irritating.
-Parfait A.
BTW, you can flame me all you want. I want to hear your response. Ciao.
I have nothing against his cooking or his program; only thing that depresses me is the fact that he's plugging Stephanie March (Law & Order SVU)and I'm not.
Oh yeah, BTW, as far as competitors go, I don't think Morimoto and Flay are competitors in "commerce." For one thing, their styles of cooking are so different that most of their audience is different. Flay was going to open a fish place prior to 9/11, that would be more direct competetion, imho.
Morimoto's actual restaurant is in PA. He still, I think, has some claim at Nobu (I'm not sure...he's probably still head chef) but he doesn't own it to my knowledge. There are so many restaurants in New York that cater to the same crowds as both of these guys. I find it hard to believe that either feels threatened by the presence of the other. I'm sure they're more threatened by the restuarants that cater to the same tastes.
If you really took your food as "art" as you claim {cough} you wouldn't be looking to TV Chefs. You'd realize that TV Chefs are too real Chefs as Bill Gates is to computer programmers. Sure, maybe he had to get to where he is but that's mostly getting the right persona and being in the right place at the right time (do you really think all of the Chef's on Food Network are artists and make original creations? Please. I assure you, Flay has people that create new dishes for him to use on TV...and the dishes he uses on TV aren't really "artful" or "unique" they are made for regular people to be able to make in the comfort of their own kitchens with little to no hassles). You can have a successful restaurant and not be the best Chef. It's all about spin & atmosphere...ever eaten at any of the "best" places in NYC? If you have the right press, the right location, the right decor and good food (and I'm sure he's not serving crap on a platter. I just don't see him as really anything special or unique), you'll go far.
Honestly, you just proved how big an idiot you are. If you really want to learn the art of cooking, turn off your TV (even Iron Chef, these guys are 90% show too), get your lard ass out of the chair and go visit restaurants around the nation...better yet AROUND THE WORLD. You'll learn a lot more from seeing the stuff *real* chefs create than a bunch of TV figureheads dancing around on screen.
You don't seem to get that this blog is "showbiz" in some ways. I don't sit around and curse Flay every five minutes or create voodoo dolls in his likeness. When I watch Iron Chef (a TV show) where he is on it, I comment about his performance on the show as opposed to the others. The fact that you idiots respond makes it even more fun to do. I commented about reality TV once. I commented about Harry Potter. Does that mean I think about the chick from survivor every 10 minutes? Does that mean I want to grow up to go to Hogwarts? Hardly. Gees.
I must admit, Bobby Flay bashing is more fun because his fans are such wankers. You've just proven that you think he's a god of cuisine {snicker}. You've also just proven you need to get out of the house more.
and how's your cooking? I watch this stuff to get ideas. I know that is apparently alien to your way of thinking, but I take my food as art. I like Morimoto's stuff and have tried some of it and I like Bobby Flay's stuff and have tried some of it, also. Don't you think alot of this stuff you're upset about is, as Mel Brooks says in "Springtime for Hitler", "showbiz"? I think it all is showbiz and that Morimoto and Flay are actually very cordial with each other for people who are competitors in the actual arena of commerce (something else you folks don't seem to ever think about). Oh well. Silly crap. Have some fun Darling.
OMG
Iron Chef America Battle of the Masters just aired here in Canada and SAKAI LOST to that no good SOB Bobbly (sic) Flay.
If that wasn't the best case of rigging Ive ever seen since you yanks elected that moron president (who uncannily looks like an older cousin of Flay) I really need to get out of my igloo.
Honestly, no offense intended, but does TFN really think that Americans are that stupid? Because if people in America really believe that Flay is a good chef and he won that match, then I guess thats an explanation enough of why the World hates Americans! Cause many of them probably have seen Flay and think he is THE American: Smug, cocky, and full of crap, and all you poor yanks have been labelled Bobby Flays!
Please stop butchering good shows from other countries!
Peace out from your friendly neighbours to the north ~
The Crazy Canucks
Hey, if you want to spawn with that corn fucker, than that's your problem...no need to take your hangups out on us.
Sheesh. What a psychopath.
I LOVE BOBBY I LOVE BOBBY I LOVE BOBBY I WANT TO MARRY HIM HAVE HIS KIDS OR JUST BE HIS SEX SLAVE TRUE FACT...YOU FREAKS ARE JUST LAME ASS HATERS... DON'T HATE HIM BECAUSE HE'S SO FUCKING GENIUS...GOD BLESS BOBBY....GOD BLESS AMERICA
Say what? I'm neither obese nor a skank and I do not watch FoodTV all day. Did I ever say I did? I don't even have Food TV anymore (got rid of DSS because I never had time to watch) and the only one I miss from it is Alton Brown. He's smart enough to keep a blog (more than I can say for Bobby who lied about the capability to his fans) so I don't even miss him too much.
AND GOD no. I would never write Bobby Flay an actual letter. I'd never even write Alton and he's a far smarter guy. I did write to him on Ask Bobby Flay once about the anti-Flay webring and he answered. Kinda proof we were getting to him. He needs to get over it as do you. It's just a joke. We don't really obsess over Flay 24/7. That is, apparently, your job.
And yes, you can take this comment as proof you're "getting to me" if you like. Perhaps you are. It's just really dumb how you idiots all see this is nothing but an anti-flay blog and don't even bother to look around and see that out of 200+ posts there are about 5 about the jackass and those were mostly made during the IC3 original showing. It does piss me off that you are too stupid to realize that this IS NOT an anti-flay site. It's just a site about nothing. GET OVER IT and stop posting stupid garbage to this site you Flayniacs.
LOL!! "Anti-vixen ringleader" bwahahahahaha *g*
And if you actually think vix is fat, you're even more of a dumbass fucknugget than I figured *g*
Are you pissed because you wrote him and he blew you off? You watch food tv all day and only talk about chefs and eating. Not a surprising pastime for an obese skank such as yourself. Get off the internet and hit the gym fatass and then maybe you'd get some friends.
Ooh, yeah you sure told us! It's not like he doesn't belittle people on his shows and treat them as if they're inept idiots. Oh no! He wouldn't do that! He's also the only person in the world who has ever worked hard for something...yeah, nobody else does that, either.
The only thing he's deserving of is a swift kick where his nads should be. You, on the other hand, deserve a good smack to the head.
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. And furthermore, no one deserves this kind of treatment, except those who ridicule and demean others. I mean he has worked his ass off to get were he is today! Take that fuckers!
Hoorah to attracting yet another idiot who doesn't bother reading anything beyond the Anti-Flay webring post.
This is *NOT* an Anti-Flay site, however pricks like you are quickly prompting us to turn it into one. As soon as you and your other brainless fuckwit friends stop attacking us because we don't like some corn-humper, we'll stop posting about him. Get real.
Bobby flay fucking rules. He has the best shows on the food network, and his food is the fucking best. Stop making dumb websites about how much you hate bobby flay.

Don't blame Jersey for the fucknugget you call "hero." Poor Jersey...
Bwahaha, oh yeah, he really fired me. You'd have to assume I was desperate enough to actually apply to work with that prick. Frankly, I'd rather scrub public toilets in NYC with your toothbrush.
It's the Jersey in him that makes him great. You non-Jersey pleebs are all jealous. Put some polmegranite-molasses glaze in your mouth and repeat "New Jersey & you perfect together" over and over. Obviously Bobby fired one of you assholes and you can't get past it.
Considering you just posted to us six times, I'd say you have more time to compensate for your winkie than any of us do.
Besides, those of us who hate Flay don't even have one. You realize "Lady" and "vixen" denote females; something of which I'm sure you have only seen in the Sears catalogue. Don't hurt your hand on the staples, dear.
I think that Bobby Flay is a great chef and person and all you people that sit and rag him all day are nothing but a bunch of assholes witth nothing to do but try to compensate for your hideously small cocks.

A couple of people that I know went there, too and had nothing but great things to say. I don't eat fish personally, but I'd love to try his sushi *g*. I'm hoping I'll get to go there sometime.
Actually, Morimoto's restaurant is open. My husband and I went there for 4th of July, 2002. If you go, you HAVE to try the Wasabi Tiramisu. It's to die for.
Good god!!get a life
His place isn't open yet (to my knowledge. It might be?), but he's bought the space. It's going to be in Philadelphia. It's called "Morimoto" and located at Seventh and Chestnut streets.
Further proof that I need a hobby :-D
Odd but I thought the same thing. Bobby is an ass. Where is Morimoto's restaraunt in PA? I live pretty much in the middle of the state.
