[Armind]

Awesome! Will be looking forward to watch this :D

[subordinate]

Michael smith is a good chef and all, but I think Flay's going to win.

Isn't Michael Smith from the New York area, then he moved to Canada.

[TOS'd]

I hate Bobby Flay. Plus, all he does it BBQ shit.

[murd0c]

Flay is awesome, he seems like a real down to earth
Normal guy that is one of the best cooks. He's show
Throwdown with bobby flay is awesome!!

nice!

Thanks for the heads up, I'll try to catch it! I use to watch his shows like Chef at Large way back haha

I want to see Guy Fieri from Diners, Drive-in's and Dives on Iron Chef :) That guy is just so cool LOL

[unit]

bobby flay seems like a nice guy.
but whats with him wearing pink all the time?
looks like a douche

[Bonka]

The times I've come across Flay on tv, he's busy burning something..or does he call it Cajun?

Looks like a interesting match though.

[DD//M3]

something to ponder...:thumbsup:

YouTube- Michael Smith on his Iron Chef America Appearance

[Great68]

Michael Smith is way more down to earth than Bobby Flay.

I personally like his show more, it's somehow more inspiring. He has good explanations and methodologies behind the stuff that he does. Chef Abroad is a great show too.

[red_2]

Michael Smith talking shit !!!

[Jer3]

michael smith is the shit. chef at large is one of my favorite food network shows. chef at home...not so much but still decent. i dislike flay since it seemed to me like he always had this arrogance about him.

[Durrann]

ahh shieet big can of whoop ass

i learn so much
and his cooking is 'healthier' cuz he's mainly cooking for his kid and wife

Are you kidding me? He comes off as the most pretentious stuck-up douchebag on the Food Network!

I love how on his BBQ show he rolls up his sleeve JUST ENOUGH so that you can see his Rolex.

[unit]

michael smith is a super nice dude, but he kinda talks like a pedophile.

[Jer3]

haha anyone else notice his eyes bulge out when hes listening to people talk :haha: its kind of creepy

[tcneo]

I friend of mine also met him once, and told me that he's one snobby ... (fill in the blanks yourself). Act like a big celebrity, and don't want his picture taken with people.
I personally never liked him, I prefer Michael than him.

Chef Michael Smith is up at Whistler right now. He's the executive chef for the athletes village or something.

[Armind]

Tonight @ 10 :thumbsup:

[Durrann]

its on right now!!
the early showing


fak he's tall!!!!

[Durrann]

i meant he's a gianT!
go michael smith!

[sonick]

Yeah it's the eastern showing right now, but you can still watch it now.

Secret ingredient is...
AVOCADO!

[unit]

owned.

[HonestTea]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!

[sonick]

Shit, yeah he got rocked, I am disappointed.

[Sentinel]

Yeah got owned pretty good.

[Durrann]

i'd say the judges were pretty biased

and who is that antonio bandaeras guy he doesnt know shit about food
he doesnt even like avacado fak

[RenoMan]

avocado! such a "bobby flay" ingredient...

[Great68]

Those judges were pretty closed minded to new flavours and ingredients.

Like the one woman who said out of the 3 different guacamole's Michael Smith made she only liked the southwestern one because it tasted the most "traditional". Sorry bitch but things might taste different in other parts of the world.

[azn_boix]

michael smith should've won, his dishes were beautiful and well thought out

maybe it was too complicated

[unit]

michael smiths' presentation wasnt as elegant as flays. surprisingly he only lost 2 points to flay in presentation. he got murdered in the taste category. not saying smith would have won if it was another ingredient, but avocado definitely is an extremely familiar ingredient for flay.

[q0192837465]

Whatever, I never take these food critic too seriously. Most of them are very close minded and only award high marks to food that taste like what they expect to taste like. Anything innovative will either be a a very high mark or a very low mark.

[6793026]

first to all, i really think mike sucked. I might be bias, but I do expect Flay to be more experienced and 'cooler' on this dishes. Mike is sheltered in Canada, haven't had to really invent too much new dishes.
The dishes were very very hard to make, but normal dips just wouldn't cut it. I wanted to hit the girl judge cause she said she was more "used" to the southern taste.

[RenoMan]

If it was a lobster battle, Michael would take him to town

Sheltered???? Smith has a show on the food network where he goes to different countries to try their cuisines and spices. It even shows him writing down stuff in his journal, along with pictures. I don't think Smith is sheltered at all.

Flay won...by a big margin, mainly on taste, give props to him.

[Durrann]

ah well looking forward to next weeks competition

Duff the guy from ace of cakes is facing off with Symon

even tho hes not canadian i hope he wins dont realli like symon

[EndLeSS8]

Any torrent of the show? Thanks

[raygunpk]

why bother bringing on judges that don't know anything about food?

[Culture_Vulture]

fuck! I can't believe I didn't know about this

Chef Abroad is easily my favorite show on the Food Network.
Possibly as much as Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives

and who can forget about License to Grill :D

i might have used the wrong word, but I just never see Michael making it on the same platform as other Chefs.

There are tons of chefs with years of training, tons of food experience, a few tv shows, traveled to restaurant all over US but they are in no way even considered a good chef worthy to be in a kitchen. One that came to mind: Rachael Ray, and the dude that does's Guy's triple Ds.

Rachel Ray and Guy Fieri are good cooks, but they are not chefs. Neither of them has been to chef school.

[Culture_Vulture]

Guy's only known for DDD's anyways.
Rachel Ray...who the fuck watches her shows? 30 minutes and a big mess in my kitchen.

[sonick]

I would have my way with Rachel Ray... Motorboat the shit out of her tits.

[Alphamale]

^She looks like she'd have an ugly ass pair of tits.

[Great68]

So much airbrush.

DAT ASS!

[HonestTea]

Guy Fieri (The guy from Diners, Drive-in's and Dives)

Is a fucking AWESOME chef! I want him to join some challenges like Top Chef Masters or Iron Chef LOL

[Durrann]

Giada de laurentiis

Yesss... I can't stand her voice and cheerfulness though. She would be fun for a rough ride.

Don't forget Nigella:

She's a cutie, but seems like she'd be a high maintenance chick. I remember watching iron chef when it was Giada and Flay vs Rachel Ray and Batali and Giada was practically throwing hissy fits because her food wasn't turning out.

[Durrann]

^^ ahh so what if shes a little competitive.

[EndLeSS8]

Anyone know where I can get a torrent of this, or a stream?
Thanks in advance.

[K-Dub]

PS, I see Michael almost everyday coming into work at the Athletes Village up here in Whistler. He's realllllllly tall...and he sits in the workforce eating with us. :)
