Bobby Flay Throwdown Vs. a Truck
On October 14th, Food Network chef Bobby Flay "threw-down" against the New York-based Dessert Truck. Food Network describes the show as the following:
"Chef Bobby Flay is on a secret mission: to challenge the absolute masters in different kinds of cooking – award-winning BBQers, bakers, pizza makers and more. In each episode, one of these cooks thinks Food Network is shooting their profile for a show. What they don't know is that Bobby is going to drop in for a surprise visit and challenge them to an unexpected cook-off. Since they're in their element and Bobby's out of his, prepare for an exciting, tension-filled competition."
In this episode, the throwdown took place out of two trucks parked in Union Square, and the judges were random pedestrians. You can find out when they will air the episode again at Food Network.

No way Flay wins this one. I’ve eaten from the Dessert Truck a couple times and those were some of the best desserts I’ve had on any of my trips to New York – truck or restaurant. Add the fact that Flay is out of his comfort zone with sweets and then the general home team advantage he faces in every show, and there’s just no way that he’ll win. I mean he loses most of the time anyway, but this time he’s got no chance.
