Bobby Flay, that culinary titan, that spatula-wielding maestro, is about to face his toughest competition yet – and they’re coming from inside the house. In a “Chopped” crossover event sure to make Guy Fieri spontaneously combust with excitement, judges Alex Guarnaschelli and Marc Murphy are stepping out from behind the judging table and into the kitchen.
They’re not alone in their quest to dethrone Flay, either. They’ve enlisted culinary reinforcements in the form of chefs Daniel Le and Michael Michaelidis. Together, this quartet of seasoned pros aims to use their combined expertise to finally put a dent in Flay’s seemingly impenetrable culinary armor. And the weapon of choice? Lobster. That’s right, these kitchen warriors will be going claw-to-claw, butter-to-butter in a lobster-centric showdown that’s sure to be both delicious and dramatic.
Will Flay’s signature swagger crack under the pressure? Can Guarnaschelli and Murphy put their judging skills to practical use and create a dish worthy of victory? Or will Flay once again reign supreme, leaving his challengers to pick up the pieces of their shattered culinary dreams? The tension is thicker than a lobster bisque, and I, for one, can’t wait to see how this epic food fight plays out.
Find out who will emerge victorious in this culinary clash of titans when “Beat Bobby Flay: Chopped Takedown” airs Thursday, December 26 at 9:00 PM on Food Network.
