Maybe he’s just the best, or, like Alex Guarnaschelli, has so much experience competing that it’s really his expertise. Somehow, Bobby Flay and his teammate have won each of their four battles to date, though not always with unanimous votes from the three-judge panel. So far-and spoiler alert for this paragraph and the next one, if you haven’t seen the first four episodes-the format has reunited Zac Young with the person who gave him his first pastry chef job, Alex Guarnaschelli, and resulted in teams like Brooke Williamson & Michael Voltaggio, and Bobby Flay & Damaris Phillips.

One serves as defacto host (so far: Scott Conant, Eddie Jackson, Giada De Laurentiis, and Carla Hall, with Carson Kressley and Geoffrey Zakarian up next). There are no unknown challengers here, just people we’ve seen on Food Network, some of whom compete all the time, while others who we rarely see behind a station.

While Bobby Flay says “this holiday season is my biggest nightmare yet,” and adds, “bottom line: everyone’s still out to beat me,” it’s not that serious or dramatic.įor this special series of six episodes, the show has expanded to a full hour, and the producers made smart changes that not only doubled-down on the best parts of the original, but added elements that bring more energy and joy to the format. Beat Bobby Flay: Holiday Throwdown (Food Network, Tuesdays at 9) takes place on the same set, but seems like an entirely different show.
