Well if he did I would have had alot more respect for him. That "Johnny cake" Ihop disaster looked like something I might have made 26 years ago with Play-Dough (Least that stuff was non-toxic... I hope!) and tried to serve to some unsuspecting cuousin.

After Flay's unfathomably bad "Super Bowl" show where he disrespectfully (is there any other way with Bobby Flay?) massacred the Italian Beef and the Chicago hot dog, I was hoping for a bit of retribution, which I think GEB extracted, even if the judges seemed to like Flay's dishes better.

Now I'm off to re-read Bourdain's slam on Flay...
