Bobby Flay Throwdown – what’s Bobby’s record?
Tonight’s episode of Throwdown is a repeat (or a classic!) from the first season. So today we’ll tell you about Bobby Flay’s overall record on Throwdown through last year. Wikipedia has an amazing catalogue of all of his shows dating back to the first season. Whoever are the wonderful souls who put this together deserve foodie sainthood!
It looks like through last season, Bobby Flay had a losing record of 22-47-1. That’s about a 31% winning percentage. If you are wondering what was the 1 tie, well, watch tonight’s episode against Cindy Reed Wilkins in the chili throwdown.
Frankly, we’re surprised Bobby has won that many!! As you know, he usually loses (against the specialty dish of each competitor), but each year he picks up 4 or 5 wins, out of 12 matches. We hope to recount some of our favorites wins and losses here. Stay tuned.
