Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Oh this was the cutest one I have seen, these ladies were so kind and sweet and Bobby was just as gracious to them. I really liked this one, especially since one of the judges was the guy from America's Test Kitchen and Cook's Country. The one that tests equipment.

yes cute indeed, they were a couple of characters.

Anyone else think that 'my trusted assistants Stephanie and Miriam' could do with a little makeover? They are not exactly camera ready and I would love to see them spruced up a bit.

I think they look ok, maybe a little sprucing up would help but I don't think it will help him win

The producers have also tilted the scoring on the judging to make harder for Flay to win. If Flay went all Iron Chef and kept on beating all the challengers at their own dishes, I don't think the audience could root for that- they'd see him as a big bully, this professional chef, coming in and taking down these mom and pop owners.

That's why on Pineapple, one of the judging criteria was tradition. And, a restaurant chef like Flay will almost always lose those points because he'll almost tweak those dishes. Its not the first time I noticed that the judging criteria were skewed to favor the contestants to a certain degree.

Bobby who?

[goodhealthgourmet]

i think the OP is talking about a Throwdown with Bobby Flay.

[dolly52]

what is the point?

[roro1831]

The point was the OP made no reference as to what show she was talking about in the subject line or in her post. So for those that may be unfamiliar with Throwdown, they would not get what she was talking about.

Oh thank you, I must be spending to much time on these boards, new right away.

Heck, I thought the post was going to be a recipe...

[goodhealthgourmet]

i thought the same - either a recipe or a troubleshooting or "where to find?" request.

This could be a game "Guess the food TV show." You guessed it in one post.:)

Thank you for the humor chowser, I needed that.
