This show actually is really, really obnoxious to me.

What amazes me is that Bobby Flay lost despite using a much more premium cut (ribeye, looked like prime, maybe even dry aged) compared to what Captain D was using, which looked like sirloin at best.

I hate Bobby Flay's frat boy demeanor, and I think it's brutally unfair that the people he's challenging are completely unprepared.

I watched the challenge with the chowder king or something. HAHAHA When Bobby pulled out what looked like an electic cement stirrer the challenger said.........."We STIR it like this" And had a wooden spoon in his hand stirring in the air. I thought that was funny.

I agree. I don't even watch the show but after seeing the preview I was shocked that this got the "green light." He's basically rude, annoying, and has that frat boy demeanor that has always made him one of my least favorite Food Network personalities.

I'm not surprised by Bobby bringing only the best cuts and because of this I absolutely delight in knowing he lost. Though I can't help but wonder when he's going to want a "rematch." When he lost on Iron Chef a few years ago he demanded a rematch so I have no reason to think he won't want one again. I can only hope he loses again and someday gets canned from Food Network.

Next time could you have the spoiler after the jump or warning in the thread title so I dont read the post?
I need to add the show to my favs list on my tivo since I normally miss the show.

I came here hoping to find Captain's D's marinade recipe.
It must be totally awesome.

Bobby Flay is a complete joke, almost nearing the level of patheticness of Emeril Lagasse. This is a "chef" who advocates parboiling ribs before bbq'ing them, for godssake!

Flay may appeal to the type of yuppies who think grilling over gas is more sophisticated than getting dirty with wood and charcoal, but I would hope that most real foodies can see through his mediocre facade.

I watched the show and I loved it. Bobby Flay is not one of my favorites, but he does have excellent recipes. I was so happy Captain D won because Bobby Flay pulled out all the stops - prime meat cuts, gourmet glazes, etc. It goes to show - simplicity is the best techniques when it comes to cooking.

Oh...I agree with Misty - Captain D's email would be quite nice...today is my birthday and I would love to have him as a surprise!!!!!!LOL

this is about the bobby flay throwdown with the dounut maker. bobby should have walked out. my idea of the throwdown is that bobooy shows up for a cook off show down. once bobby got there the dounut woos wanted no part of a live cook off. he brought in already prepared dounuts while bobby fixed his fresh. this was no throw down. what was the dounut guy afraid of. none of his hired help was there to do the cooking for him. CHICKEN !!!! every body else has excepted the challenges.
