This week’s “Beat Bobby Flay” features a guest judge duo designed to throw the culinary king off his game. Iron Chef Alex Guarnaschelli joins forces with “Saturday Night Live” star James Austin Johnson to preside over the cook-off chaos – and try to put one over on the ever-competitive Flay.
Chefs Stephanie Cmar and David Standridge are in the spotlight, battling it out for the chance to take on Flay in his own kitchen. While Guarnaschelli brings her culinary expertise, Johnson’s role looks likely to be more about playful disruption than serious critique. Can they rattle Flay enough to give one of the challengers a real edge?
It’s the ultimate culinary showdown, where reputations are on the line and the pressure is always high. Tune in to Food Network on Thursday, May 1st at 9:00 PM ET to see if Flay can maintain his cool under pressure – and if either chef can finally dethrone him.
