Booby Flay
Oh did I misspell that? I meant Bobby Flay, yeah...anyway. LadyX pointed a wonderful article about Mr. Bobby Flay to me. It gives him the respect he deserves!
Some of my fave quotes:
"Impatient and bored, desultory and mocking, Flay hosts "FoodNation" like an eighth grader who is too cool for his choir concert. " So true. I always love how he belittles people on Food Nation. Makes him look so smooth and sauve.
"His yawning reactions to all he samples are impolite and ungrateful, and he comes off as arrogant and magnanimous, as if he is doing us all a big favor by just being there." Not only that, but he pretends that we should worship him for throwing some corn on the grill.
"On a recently aired episode, after instructing a volunteer to julienne some vegetables, Flay jeers at her inferior knife-work, inciting the rest of the room to laugh at her expense." Yeah, he's real nice. That's like me asking someone who's never really used a PC to install a harddrive and then laughing when they can't do it. Duh. You're the "Chef," you're supposed to be helping people to learn to cook not belittling them you bastard.
Anyway, the author makes some positive comments about "Boy Meets Grill." I've never seen that show so I won't comment on it. But I will point you to our other Flaytastic entries:

You can all despise Flay. Is he a bit arrogant? Sure. Anyone who has ever worked in the cooking world knows that almost ALL CHEFS ARE.
Is his food good. Hell yes. I really enjoy his food and the use of ingredients. I believe he is truly gifted. (My husband cooks very similiarly and his food is widely praised because of the interesting mix of flavors.)
You don't have to like Flay's personality... which is, btw, very "I'm a successful NYer". (You find that personality in most men age 25-45 who are successful in NY.) His personality isn't extraordinary. It's rather par for NY so it doesn't bother me a bit.
For what it's worth, I enjoy "Boy meets grill". It gives us new ideas when we are in a cooking rut.
How come all of Flay's fans are idiots who can't say anything intelligent?
- "Probably not because you are all too busy eating your own shit. . . GO FUCK YOUR MAMAS!!!!!! I know I will if you don't."
Yes, that kind of talk is really going to make me respect your shrewd cullinary opinion. At least I can construct a sentance without a curse word and a mindless insult.
Kind of shows what kind of "Chef" he is. I don't hear Emeril's fan telling anyone to go fuck their mamas.
Have any of you fucking idiots been to Mesa Grill in Las Vegas? Probably not because you are all too busy eating your own shit. I'm quite sure that Flay is the most creative and innovative chefs we have seen in the last 20 years. Notwithstanding...Puck and Paul Prudhomme TYPO
GO FUCK YOUR MAMAS!!!!!! I know I will if you don't...

My name is Marcos E. and everyone I work with thinks I am a dickhead too. Bobby what can I do to be more like you? I love the fact that you are cocky and ugly, so am I.
Bobby flay is a cunt and his so called restaurants suck, he can't cook worth shit. who gives a shit abiut this site anyways.
In case you didn't know, nobody created a "website like this." If you weren't an Internet noclubie, you'd realize that one post in a blog isn't an entire website. We only have about 5-6 posts about Bobby Flay out out 300+ posts total (most of them were posted during the IC3 battle so it was topical).
The web is much the same as the television. Do I agree with all the "Hot Asian XXXX" sites on the internet? Heck no! Do I agree with the sites that claim that RIAA is doing what it has to do? Heck no. Do I agree with the sites that say Bobby Flay is a god? Oh wait, there are no sites, aside from his own, that say that but even if there were, I wouldn't agree with them. Do I READ and POST comments to these sites? Nope. Generally when I see a site I don't agree with, unless it's doing something illegal, I press my little back key (is that why it's there? I never knew!) and go find something more my style.
It's the Internet. Everyone is entitled to publish their own opinion and everyone is entitled to freely ignore it. Please feel free to freely ignore ours.
That being said, we do give you the privilege to comment on our opinions. I say it like that so you don't come back with "I have the right to comment too!" Commenting on this site is a privilege, not a right as this is our site, we pay for it and we can jerk the privilege at any time we see fit. You do have the RIGHT to make a site pro-Bobby flay or even anti-Insidedelirium if you want to though. I don't see why you would. I don't even think you know what a "site" is.
Number one: This website isn't an anti-Flay site. It's a blog and we post about a lot of other things aside from that loser.
Number two: We don't give a shit about what you think of our site. We will post what we want when we want to. Deal with it.
Number three: We don't watch him on tv, in case it isn't obvious to that pea-sized brain of yours. In case you didn't know, you don't have to read this site, either. It really is that easy.
who really makes a website like this? you guys are all jealous. i think this is really childish and silly. he has all he has because he is good at what he does, hes not askin you to like him...in case you didn't know, you dont have to watch him.
Plain, simple, and right to the point, my favorite is:
"He is also a total dick."
Amen.
