Amusing article by Alissa Rowinsky on flakmag.com
I have friends who enjoy watching the different cooking shows on television and we often get into discussions about the different shows and the chefs who are featured. One of my friends often express his dislike of Bobby Flay which I never understood. I of course didn't because I only saw Flay in passing (channel surfing) and never really cared too much for his shows. I've sat and viewed them time and again, but it just didn't appeal to me. The most I've ever watched Flay was on Iron Chef in it's entirety when he's on, because I like the show.
I was perusing the web on my break and found an article about Flay that I'm still ROFL from! It was an article written on line at flakmag.com (an online magazine, here's a link to information about what they do Link.
The author of this article, Alissa Rowinsky and the subsequent discussion and nod of affirmations by other readers, made me realised just what it was about Bobby Flay that so infruriated others about him! And now that I've read it I do see what they are all talking about! Although it doesn't really matter to me what he does, because his bread is already buttered, to coin a phrase, but it makes me wonder if the Food Network will try to make Flay more likeable or he'll still be their most favored star!
Ms. Rowinsky used the word dicketry in reference to Flay's attitude and I laughed at that because it's such a strange word but one that seem so apt! The title of her piece is "The Staggering Dicketry of Bobby Flay" and can be read in it's amusing entirety here Link.
