I like the throwdown too
good show, even though I dont really like bobby flay
the cheese steak episode was cool
Oh yeah, yet another classic! How could you not like Bobby?
'I want to hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I'm very, very frightening
and I'll overdo it'
I love watching Bobby on Iron Chef and his other show once in a while. He comes up with awesome conncoctions. Little of this, alot of that. It is so fun to watch. He is married to some really beautiful woman too...I can't remember who.
I'm out, everyone enjoy the weekend and i'll see you again on Monday...if I make it ..

his attitude
and his food is either redundant (i.e. squirt bottles with salsa verde or some form of chipolte) or has too many ingredients for my taste-overkill
that and Ive been to two of his restaurants (Bolo and Mesa) and was not impressed
He is talented, I respect what he has done, but Ive never really been impressed by his food.

Maybe you should stay away from any restaurant owned by anyone that has ever been on the Food Network, yeah?
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
couple of examples from the dinner menu
rootbeer???? cocoa nibs and peanut brittle??? Pretzel consomme???
FINALLY COCONUT with WAGYU??????? THE HORROR THE HORROR

thats probably good advice actually
Morimoto: overpriced and not that great unless you spring major $$$$ for the omakase
Babbo and Po: Po is good, Babbo is just ok. Although he tapas place is FANTASTIC if you can get in. Casa Mono.
Mesa Grill/Bolo?Bar American: see above, but have never been to BA
what am I missing? Never been to one of emeril or paula deens joints
but I dont see that happening anytime soon

LOVE talking food-sorry for the rant
Yeah, wth with the pretzel consomme?????
I want to go to Babbo so badly...I mean, really, really badly...:(
I also want to go to Paula's place in Georgia, but I will have to cut out cholesterol for a month or so before going. lol
I wanted to go to Emeril's in New Orleans when we were there...the one out near the garden district, but no dice.
If you have been watching the Iron Chef show, I would like to go to a couple of their restaurants.

Has anyone on here been to Ramsay's restaurant (The London). I'm dying to go but haven't found the time.

I love Gordon Ramsey! He was on Martha once and he was so unassuming. Awesome chef.
Does Jamie Oliver ( I love you Jamie, if you are reading...really...I would be a great sous chef...;) )have a restaurant in the States?
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
I would like to, but it always falls off my list-for some reason I dont really go to hotel restaurants-no real reason though
When I want fancy food, I always end up at the same two places
Cafe boulud and Gotham bar and grill
Can we hang out???
I love Daniel Boulud...sigh...
Can anyone see a pattern here....lol...I love chefs.
Except they work crappy hours.
But when they bring home their bacon...:o

Babbo: Been there twice. Sat next to Gwyenth and Chris Martin the last time.
Food is ok. But I was really turned off by the service-which was sub par for a restaurant that is $$$.

anytime!
Cafe Boulud is probabaly my favorite non-japanese restaurant
the menu and the service are always outstanding.
the room is not great, but everything else makes up for it
when they bring home the bacon.........time for porking
They were really nice actually, well she was anyway, he didnt say two words.
Oh, I didn't think you were rubbing it in.
I will eat vicariously through you. lol
I keep saying to myself that I will go into the city one day with or without my son and go have lunch at Babbo....or Nobu. My little one loves to put sushi in his mouth and then return it to the plate if it seems a bit too fishy for him.
He is awesome with those kiddie chopsticks.

Im a bit of a foodie, its a passion!
now your talking my language
sushi and japanese food is my passion-my wife is Japanese
Nobu is not the place to go. Its ok. Its cool. A few of the dishes are good.
But for truly good raw fish, I have other places to suggest.
Babbo and Nobu are basically places where you pay for the name and the scene. Not necessarily the food.

He will be 3 on the 13th. His Curious George party with his little friends (his little girl fanclub) is tomorrow!

The finale was cool. Besh went down. You could tell he was thinking "no way I lost"
Oh well. So the new Iron Chef is Chef Symon. He did a great job.
So what happened was instead of 5 dishes, they both decided to do 6. But of course, overkill Besh had to kiss up to Morimoto and make a dessert that was sub par and I think may have been a big reason he lost.
The not-so-secret ingredient was swordfish. Anyone that has eyes knew this beforehand as the previews showed one of the chefs hightailing it across the kitchen with a huge swordfish in his arms..
I found Besh's food to be predictable and not that inspired.
Symon did a great job and even used the submersion cooker.

I did not think either was that good or innovative.
I liked them both but I did think overall I would like Chef's Symon's food over Chef Besh's food except for the final challenge I thought Chefs Besh's food sounded better. Chef Symon's use of lamb's tongue was a little freaky to me and he used it in 2 dishes. I like his personality though and I think he will make a very good iron chef.
"...believe in lies...to get by...it's divine...whoa...oh, you know what its like..."

What was especially disturbing about the lamb tounge was Alton's fascination with it. And whenever he said it, it was all cutsy...that grossed me out.
I agree Getright...nothing was phenomenal. But I like Symon better throughout.
