Last week, I was addicted to MTV’s Date My Mom, the unscripted reality show that feels very scripted. This week, my daily high comes from a classic (anything older than three years is a classic, right?), Throwdown! with Bobby Flay.
In case you haven’t seen the show (shame on you), Throwdown! Basically involves the Food Network finding chefs who are known for being skilled with a particular dish, let’s say, like pumpkin pie. So, as they’re being filmed for a spot on the Food Network, Bobby Flay (who I guess was famous for something before this show) opens the saloon doors, tips his ten gallon hat and says, “I think I can make a better pumpkin pie than you.”
And he usually puts a weird spin on his dishes for the judges. Maybe he’ll make the pumpkin pie in the shape of a square or put shrimp in it.
It’s incredibly addicting (the show, not the pumpkin shrimp pie). So, this week I want to be a professional chef. Now, I don’t have any culinary training, besides knowing how to make a fantastic Ramen, but as I see that pale Hanson brother getting his behind kicked week after week, I keep thinking, “I can beat Bobby Flay.” I might need cooking school.
