Can Bobby Flay be beaten at his own game…by a couple of food competition show judges? That’s the question posed in this Thursday’s episode of “Beat Bobby Flay,” aptly titled “Bad News for Bobby.”
Scott Conant, no slouch in the kitchen himself, teams up with journalist Kaitlan Collins to find a chef capable of taking down the culinary king. Their choice? Former “Beat Bobby Flay” judges, Hugh Mangum and Katie Pickens. It’s a culinary showdown with a dash of meta, as two judges step out from behind the table and onto the battlefield.
The setup features three cooks battling it out, all presenting a signature dish. The winner then goes head-to-head against Bobby, who needs to bring his best to defend his turf. Will the judges-turned-competitors have the secret sauce to defeat Bobby? The title suggests rough waters ahead for Mr. Flay.
“Beat Bobby Flay: Bad News for Bobby,” hosted by the man himself, airs Thursday at 9:00 PM ET on Food Network.
