hahahahahaahahaha. Omigod, Katie and I commented the same thing while watching Iron Chef last night. Even Alton Brown couldn't get his head wrapped around it. He was like "Today's secret ingredient is breakfast...yeah whatever."

AND WORSE, Bobby Flay repeated his idea of touring the country to showcase his dishes. I've seen the NE/SE/SW/NW connection done before by him. Hiroyuki Sakai would never have been caught doing the same thing twice!

Yeah...I still don't get it.

I didn't like that that one judge kept criticizing the other guy because she didn't think his meals were "breakfast." And then Bobby was praised for wonderful "BRUNCH" dishes. Plus I was still confused over whether they were even supposed to just make breakfast out of breakfast things or make anything out of breakfast things.

As for Bobby's dishes that reflect different parts of the country...It doesn't bother me too much if that's his thing and the only way he can think to be creative... Now, if only he could realize that chipotle is not the signature ingredient of every area of the country.

oh, and that made me damn hungry for eggs and bacon and waffles...

hahahahahaha. Lol, I would love you hear him admonished from the Chairman

"IRON CHEF FLAY! The theme ingredient is red snapper and NOT chipoltes!"

Iron Chef, in both its incarnations, is totally slanted in the Iron Chef's favor anyways. Katie watched it with me and went "Oh I think the challenger is gonna win!" "Sorry my dear, the Iron Chef always wins and he did.
