Sorry Throwdown fans, this week’s episode is another repeat. Bobby Flay went against Chef Delilah Winder and her 7-cheese mac ‘n cheese, which was voted the best mac ‘n cheese on the Oprah Winfrey show.
Well, remarkably, Bobby Flay beat the “Queen of Mac ‘n Cheese” with his 5-cheese mac ‘n cheese carbonara. Another rare victory for Bobby!

Written review to follow!
Still in a food coma. This was less than half of our tasting. Stay tuned for the full review of L20.
This week’s challenge involved the chefs visiting an Asian restaurant and studying one of its signature dishes. Afterwards, each chef was asked to prepare a dish with some of the same Asian influence but then transforming it into an American dish.
Chef Brad Farmerie got the boot this week. Our pick Chef Dominique Crenn was again in the bottom 2, but managed to survive (thank heavens)! Chef Seamus Mullen won the challenge. We were a little bit surprised that Chef Jehangir Mehta–who prepared an outlandish shake with “take out” containers–was not in the bottom 3. The dishes did not look like dishes, but a collection of containers. Then again, we don’t get to taste the samples on TV. So maybe it tasted better than it looked.
Chef Daniel Boulud is the owner of Daniel restaurant, which just earned 3 MIchelin stars. We sat in on his interview at the recent New York City Food & Wine Show. Here Chef Daniel explains the worst thing he’s ever eaten and the best thing he had this week.
