This holiday season, Bobby Flay isn’t just basting turkeys – he’s the one getting roasted. Food Network’s Beat Bobby Flay: Holiday Throwdown returns with “Roasted and Toasted,” a festive special where Flay’s chef comrades turn up the heat, both in the kitchen and on the insult comic front. Airing Tuesday, December 10, 2024, at 9:00 PM, this episode might leave Flay needing more than a glass of eggnog to soothe his ego.
With Michael Symon presiding over the holiday havoc, culinary cohorts Jet Tila, Antonia Lofaso, and Geoffrey Zakarian gather not to sing carols, but to skewer Flay with playful barbs. Imagine a holiday party where the main course is ribbing the celebrity chef, and the side dishes are his increasingly flustered reactions. One pictures spiked punch bowls and a barrage of “Yo momma” jokes dressed up in toque blanche.
While the premise revolves around good-natured ribbing, the cooking competition remains serious. The chefs are tasked with creating holiday-inspired dishes, presumably judged on more than just their ability to pair well with a Flay-focused roast. As the verbal volleys fly faster than a whisk in a meringue, one question lingers: Can Flay maintain his composure amidst the festive fire, or will he end up more burnt than the Christmas ham?
Tune in to Food Network on Tuesday, December 10, 2024, at 9:00 PM ET to witness the culinary carnage unfold.
