Therefore, he tries to get as close to the authentic dish as he knows how, relying on his hard-to-beat talent of extracting flavor, his superior experience in competitive cooking on TV, and sense of timing. His competitors often come close but then make that little mistake that sink them with the jury.

'La Repertoire do la Cuisine' provides most of the basics and expected ingredients. In Beat Bobby Flay, the challenger offers the challenge. All cooks know what they are, even if they have never cooked them. If I have tasted a dish, I can recreate it almost exactly. The judges have that taste, look and feel in their minds, going in.

Come on now, we all know the man can cook, so why air so many of his shows when the outcome is going to be the same? It’s very rare when someone else wins. Food Network PLEASE reserve some space for other shows for the public to watch? I’m now in the habit of, whenever I see his show on the roster, I quickly look to see something else ‘cause it’s boring seeing him win all the time.
