Food Network’s “Beat Bobby Flay: Holiday Throwdown,” airing Tuesday, November 26, comes with a festive twist courtesy of Carson Kressley.
Kressley, seemingly summoned from Santa’s slightly less organized workshop, injects some holiday magic into the proceedings. But don’t let the tinsel and twinkling lights fool you; this is still a competition. Chefs Tiffani Faison, Tiffany Derry, and Scott Conant are ready to sharpen their knives and bring the heat, each vying for the opportunity to face off against the culinary king himself, Bobby Flay.
The final round looks set to offer a “magical performance,” although exactly what that entails is anyone’s guess. Perhaps a levitating soufflé? A self-carving turkey? Or maybe Flay finally reveals his secret recipe for eggnog that doesn’t taste like regret. Well a girl can dream.
Whatever culinary feats await, one thing is for certain: Kressley’s presence looks likely to amplify the seasonal shenanigans. His stated mission is to remind Flay of the “magic” of the holidays, a task that seems as challenging as perfectly roasting a chestnut over an open fire. Can Kressley’s festive cheer melt Flay’s famously stoic demeanor? Tune in to find out.
“Beat Bobby Flay: Holiday Throwdown” airs Tuesday, November 26 at 9:00 PM on Food Network.
