Food Network Iron Chef Boosting Ratings

[Harpua]

I don't mind flipping back and forth during the Japanese version; I like to watch the end mostly. However, The only thing I like about the American version is the fact that Alton Brown is one of the announcers. I feel like he's my uncle or something. Well, I want him to be my uncle.

Ever since I saw Bobby Flay compete and win, I have held a grudge against this show. He was just so cocky. He stood up on the counter and held his arms up, pandering to the audience. I don't like his show either. He can kiss my ***.

Anyways, Ming Tsai rules! (and he is cute too).

Harpua:

I totally agree on all your points. I respect Alton Brown and Ming Tsai tremendously.

As for Bobby Flay, the only thing that exceeds his narcissism is his lack of verbal skills. The man is arrogant, condescending, egocentric, and I mean this as a statement of fact, not as an insult: just plain stupid.

Ever listen to him speak? An 8th grader has a better command of the English language. That's why he needs Jackie Moulouf (spelling?) on his show to be a mouthpiece.

I saw Flay on Ming Tsai's show once and he acted disrespectfully to him.

If Bobby Flay didn't come from a rich restaurant family he'd be a sous chef in a moderately upscale restaurant at best. Who else walks out of cooking school into their own restaurant?

Even learning disabilities and haughtiness are no match for money.
