Bobby Flay throws down with Harold Dieterle

OK. My mother thinks that I, how do you say in English?, shot too high with Thomas Keller. Well, how about throwing down with the winner of Top Chef! That is, with Harold.

Is that more your speed? You could challenge him on perfect plating. He blew that in the first episode. Or, let's see, to a chicken and rice cook off. I'm sure you, Mr. Iron Chef, could handle that.

How would this work? Well, perhaps the Food Network, seeing the error of their ways, decides to do a show with Harold, Mr. Just Cookin'. And while they are interviewing him, Bobby Flay shows up to challenge him to a Risotto Cook Off. Or better, a duck cook off with ramps. Or maybe a perilla, urfa and yuzu cook off. I don't know. That's not the point. The point is, get some competition, buster. I'm not taking away from the pizza guy, the gingerbread lady or the soup guy or the puffy firkin taco duo, what I'm saying is, get a life. (Before you get too upset, a firkin is a small wooden barrel.)

I hope these posts are not upsetting you. Rather, I hope you throw down and meet me Tough Guy to Tuff Guyë. Come on, Bobby, do you have the balls to meet me on a level playing field or do you always have to challenge the sick and infirm?

Ignore my challenge, Mr. Iron Chef, at your peril. Chicken. I'll taunt you some more, you silly Irishman.
