Last week’s episode of Bobby Flay Throwdown was a special 1-hour holiday episode in which the Pellegrino family of Rao’s restaurant in New York challenged Bobby to a throwdown in the Feast of Seven Fishes, an Italian speciality. Both sides picked 3 seafood dishes to cook. In a close battle, the Pellegrino family beat Bobby.
The episode was different in 2 respects: it lasted 1 hour, and Bobby was challenged to a throwdown instead of the other way around. We didn’t like either change, to be honest. The show was slower and less fun. Sorry, Bobby, not to get into the “holiday” spirit.
