1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:01,620
I'm Bobby Flay.
2
00:00:01,900 --> 00:00:04,150
Each week, one brave chef will try to
3
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:05,660
take me down in my house.
4
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:06,600
This is my show.
5
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:07,380
Today it is.
6
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:08,220
Tomorrow, who knows?
7
00:00:08,740 --> 00:00:11,150
Crash talking. This culinary battle is
8
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:12,760
gonna shake down in two rounds.
9
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,090
Round one, to get to me, two contenders
10
00:00:15,100 --> 00:00:16,930
have to go through each other using an
11
00:00:16,940 --> 00:00:18,460
ingredient of my choice.
12
00:00:18,660 --> 00:00:19,680
It's do or die, Bobby.
13
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,910
Two people that know me well will decide
14
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,600
who's got the skills to beat me.
15
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,350
Yeah! Round two, I go head-to-head with
16
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:27,320
the winning contender.
17
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,690
Let's go! It's their turn to surprise me
18
00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:31,200
with their signature dish.
19
00:00:31,260 --> 00:00:33,710
What? Don't try this at home.
20
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,300
I know you did it, Bobby!
21
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,910
Bottom line... You're gonna run it in
22
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,280
two! Everyone's out to beat me.
23
00:00:45,540 --> 00:00:48,270
Okay, everybody, you ready to do this
24
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,310
tonight? Yeah! Here are two guests to
25
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,340
make you laugh and me cry.
26
00:00:53,580 --> 00:00:54,790
It's good. Great.
27
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,550
Food Network's Michael Simon and comedian
28
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:58,540
Matt and Matthews.
29
00:00:58,820 --> 00:00:59,560
Here we are.
30
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:00,960
Michael Simon!
31
00:01:02,340 --> 00:01:07,140
Yay! You're dying to get on my Instagram
32
00:01:07,340 --> 00:01:07,710
feed, aren't you?
33
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,290
I know. I must go to your site like 40
34
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:09,920
times a day.
35
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,420
Wow. You make me laugh.
36
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,140
How much for the star of almond butter?
37
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,900
$1,000. Taking it.
38
00:01:16,460 --> 00:01:17,790
Hey, Kristen Stewart, what's your
39
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:18,780
favorite ice cream flavor?
40
00:01:18,980 --> 00:01:20,260
Um, I don't know.
41
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,490
The impressions that you do, what's the
42
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:24,760
woman from White Lotus?
43
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,180
Jennifer Coolidge. Jennifer Coolidge.
44
00:01:26,260 --> 00:01:27,500
Is that her voice or your voice?
45
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:28,600
Yeah, no, it's mine.
46
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,240
That's amazing! Yeah, thank you so much!
47
00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:32,980
I'm so excited to eat food!
48
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,800
Have soup and apples!
49
00:01:37,060 --> 00:01:38,440
That's amazing. Thank you.
50
00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:40,230
I'm so glad you're here because Michael
51
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,120
Simon thinks he's funny, but he's not.
52
00:01:42,380 --> 00:01:43,420
No, you're trying to be funny.
53
00:01:43,660 --> 00:01:44,240
I am funny.
54
00:01:44,340 --> 00:01:45,680
What's your best Bobby impression?
55
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:46,270
He can't do it.
56
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:46,860
He can't do it.
57
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:47,470
I can't do it.
58
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:48,630
I'll have one by the end of the day.
59
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,440
You will? Yeah.
60
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,050
Alright, let's bring out some chefs and
61
00:01:54,060 --> 00:01:54,610
get cooking.
62
00:01:55,930 --> 00:01:58,510
Our first contender has been serving farm
63
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,560
table food for over 20 years.
64
00:02:00,740 --> 00:02:03,550
From Cambridge, Massachusetts, Jeff Aaron
65
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,360
Miller! This
66
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:12,510
New England native beat you on the
67
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,280
chopped beat Bobby Flay tournament.
68
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:16,520
Oh. Come on out, Stephen Coe!
69
00:02:19,900 --> 00:02:21,860
Come on out.
70
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:26,920
Aaron, Stephen, how are you guys doing?
71
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,540
It's great. Nice to see you again, chef.
72
00:02:28,780 --> 00:02:30,160
I figured I'd take you out on your turn.
73
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,770
This time. I like it.
74
00:02:31,780 --> 00:02:34,130
Welcome back. So here's the way it's
75
00:02:34,140 --> 00:02:34,510
going to work.
76
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:35,960
I'm going to put 20 minutes on the clock.
77
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,630
I'm going to give you an ingredient of my
78
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:39,570
choice, and you must make that ingredient
79
00:02:39,580 --> 00:02:41,120
the star of your dish.
80
00:02:41,580 --> 00:02:43,680
And that ingredient is...
81
00:02:44,740 --> 00:02:46,040
Napa cabbage! Awesome.
82
00:02:48,060 --> 00:02:49,920
I'm very excited to see napa cabbage.
83
00:02:50,100 --> 00:02:51,600
You can cook it, you can serve it raw,
84
00:02:51,740 --> 00:02:53,000
it's a universal ingredient.
85
00:02:53,380 --> 00:02:54,960
Alright, 20 minutes on the clock.
86
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,800
Don't take a nappa on this cabbage.
87
00:03:02,260 --> 00:03:03,800
Alright, so napa cabbage.
88
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:04,560
Do you eat cabbage?
89
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:05,880
No. Do you like brussel sprouts?
90
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,010
Yeah. You know they're just little
91
00:03:08,020 --> 00:03:09,490
cabbethers. Cut them in half.
92
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:10,540
Then I love cabbage.
93
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:11,480
You love it.
94
00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:13,430
Could you make a slaw with this?
95
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,550
Yeah. You also think Asian flavors, so
96
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,220
you could definitely do like a stir fry.
97
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,690
Or you could do like a kimchi, but
98
00:03:18,700 --> 00:03:19,940
obviously it's not fermented.
99
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,810
Yeah. It's definitely important to me to
100
00:03:22,820 --> 00:03:24,600
use the nappa cabbage in different ways.
101
00:03:24,740 --> 00:03:27,250
So I'm making a mytah heat and nappa
102
00:03:27,260 --> 00:03:28,340
cabbage spring roll.
103
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,850
Pickled nappa cabbage and napa chopped
104
00:03:29,860 --> 00:03:31,590
dipping sauce. I'm going to start by
105
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,050
sauteing my mushrooms and my nappa
106
00:03:34,060 --> 00:03:36,710
cabbage. And sesame oil to perfume the
107
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:37,640
mushrooms and the cabbage.
108
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,970
Do you remember when Steven beat you on
109
00:03:39,980 --> 00:03:42,490
chopped? Yes. He challenged me to lobster
110
00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:45,210
ravioli. Dang. My competition experience
111
00:03:45,220 --> 00:03:46,160
definitely helps me.
112
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:46,910
I'm in the zone.
113
00:03:49,860 --> 00:03:51,570
Born and raised in the Salshawar,
114
00:03:51,580 --> 00:03:53,360
Massachusetts. Born to Colorado School,
115
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,420
Rhode Island. I've cooked for this.
116
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,170
Thank God. I believe my proudest culinary
117
00:04:02,180 --> 00:04:04,370
moment was taking out Bobby in the
118
00:04:04,380 --> 00:04:09,180
chopper. Chef Bobby.
119
00:04:09,740 --> 00:04:10,940
You've been chopped.
120
00:04:11,420 --> 00:04:13,330
Congratulations, dude. That was a big
121
00:04:13,340 --> 00:04:15,490
day. Beatin' Bobby twice would prove that
122
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:17,150
it's time for him to step down and they
123
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,300
need a new king of the ring.
124
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,630
Napa cabbage tends to be used in Asian
125
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,330
cuisine. I'm hoping to go in a different
126
00:04:25,340 --> 00:04:27,530
flavor direction with a Middle Eastern
127
00:04:27,540 --> 00:04:29,930
cabbage roll stuffed with sauteed
128
00:04:29,940 --> 00:04:32,510
cabbage, leeks, mushrooms, quinoa, and
129
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,650
tahini sauce. All right, I'm going to go
130
00:04:34,660 --> 00:04:35,480
check in on these guys.
131
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:35,990
I'll be right back.
132
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:36,940
Oh. He's leaving you.
133
00:04:36,980 --> 00:04:37,490
He's leaving me alone.
134
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:39,120
So where are you from?
135
00:04:40,380 --> 00:04:43,240
Hey, chef. How are you?
136
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,380
Getting better every minute.
137
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,210
That's good. I saw you put some leeks in
138
00:04:47,220 --> 00:04:48,190
there. Yeah, yeah.
139
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,410
So I'm going to do a cabbage roll with a
140
00:04:50,420 --> 00:04:51,720
tahini sauce. Oh, nice.
141
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,410
You should be very comfortable with
142
00:04:53,420 --> 00:04:55,230
vegetables. Absolutely. Plant-based
143
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,330
cooking is a big focus of what we do at
144
00:04:57,340 --> 00:04:58,320
my restaurants. Right.
145
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,130
So hopefully I can work my way around a
146
00:05:00,140 --> 00:05:00,860
head of cabbage.
147
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:02,620
I grew
148
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,790
up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of
149
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,590
Virginia. I was always drawn to the
150
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,210
kitchen. After culinary school, I went on
151
00:05:11,220 --> 00:05:13,600
to work for Dan Barber at Blue Hill.
152
00:05:13,900 --> 00:05:16,050
I gained an appreciation for farm-to
153
00:05:16,060 --> 00:05:16,760
-table cooking.
154
00:05:18,220 --> 00:05:20,890
Today, I am the chef and owner of Urban
155
00:05:20,900 --> 00:05:22,520
Hearth in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
156
00:05:23,660 --> 00:05:25,950
Our menu is sourced from farms and
157
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,440
fisheries right in New England.
158
00:05:28,020 --> 00:05:30,350
I'm here because I've been honing my
159
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,290
skills all these years, and I deserve to
160
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:38,100
win. Stephen, how are you?
161
00:05:38,380 --> 00:05:39,670
It's Robin. Where are you going with
162
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,180
this? Cabbage spring roll, kimchi.
163
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:42,520
I love that idea.
164
00:05:42,860 --> 00:05:44,270
I don't have enough time to make real
165
00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:46,660
kimchi, so I'm making like a spicy,
166
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:47,960
pickled cabbage slaw.
167
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,770
Add bell pepper, bread onion, a little
168
00:05:49,780 --> 00:05:51,160
bit of sugar, some vinegar.
169
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,590
I'm adding sriracha for some heat, and
170
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,660
I'll balance out that sweet saltiness.
171
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,740
13 and a half minutes, guys.
172
00:06:00,340 --> 00:06:02,280
Stephen's doing a spring roll.
173
00:06:02,540 --> 00:06:03,110
It's not a bad idea.
174
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,190
Going Asian is obviously a smart way to
175
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,470
go, but I like seeing the tahini just
176
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,150
because I love those Middle Eastern
177
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,960
flavors. This sort of cabbage roll is
178
00:06:14,020 --> 00:06:15,800
traditionally made with a grain.
179
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,750
Quinoa will cook quickly, but still have
180
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:18,960
a nice bite to it.
181
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,290
Then I want to add the cabbage into the
182
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:23,630
filling with cinnamon, coriander, and
183
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,410
cumin. Warm spices that you would see in
184
00:06:26,420 --> 00:06:27,340
Middle Eastern cuisine.
185
00:06:30,380 --> 00:06:32,610
I run over to the pantry and grab the
186
00:06:32,620 --> 00:06:34,410
wrapper. Drop a little egg wash around
187
00:06:34,420 --> 00:06:36,740
the corners, put in my taiki mushrooms,
188
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,420
the cabbage, cilantro.
189
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:40,290
Normally, I would cool down the veg
190
00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:42,930
before the wrapper, so there is a chance
191
00:06:42,940 --> 00:06:44,530
that when I throw in the frat, they could
192
00:06:44,540 --> 00:06:45,090
blow up.
193
00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:47,480
Nine minutes, guys.
194
00:06:49,220 --> 00:06:50,440
All right, Erin.
195
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:51,480
What are those, brazil nuts?
196
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,670
Hazelnuts. Hazelnuts give us a little bit
197
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,170
more texture. Are you worried about
198
00:06:55,180 --> 00:06:55,810
Stephen over there?
199
00:06:55,820 --> 00:06:57,920
My biggest competitor is always myself.
200
00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:00,240
My biggest competitor is myself as well.
201
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:01,680
She always beats me.
202
00:07:01,940 --> 00:07:02,490
I know.
203
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,900
Stephen. What are you making?
204
00:07:06,260 --> 00:07:07,520
A knockchum. Knockchum.
205
00:07:08,420 --> 00:07:10,390
Knockchum is a Vietnamese dipping sauce
206
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,740
made of sugar, rice wine, vinegar, mirin,
207
00:07:13,780 --> 00:07:15,820
fish sauce, Thai basil, mint.
208
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,490
How good did it feel beating Bobby that
209
00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:18,400
first time? Good.
210
00:07:18,420 --> 00:07:18,970
It was a good thread.
211
00:07:18,980 --> 00:07:20,200
You think you're going to do it again?
212
00:07:20,380 --> 00:07:20,930
Yes, I am.
213
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,360
Ooh, he's confident.
214
00:07:22,580 --> 00:07:23,380
Cock your confidence.
215
00:07:23,500 --> 00:07:24,100
His fine line.
216
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,060
Yes. Coming up on four minutes.
217
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,000
I'm taking my sprinkles out of the frile,
218
00:07:32,020 --> 00:07:33,380
and they held together.
219
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,040
I'm going to put the slaw on the plate.
220
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,570
I'm going to fill the sauce, cut the
221
00:07:36,580 --> 00:07:38,290
sprinkles, ends off with them on the
222
00:07:38,300 --> 00:07:39,990
plate. Go over and grab some peanuts and
223
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:40,600
put them on top.
224
00:07:40,860 --> 00:07:44,620
Awesome. We have two minutes, guys.
225
00:07:45,340 --> 00:07:47,350
I'm still hopeful that I can make my
226
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,470
tahini sauce, but right now I just need
227
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,100
to get my cabbage rolls assembled.
228
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,350
I've transferred the quinoa into the
229
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,040
saute pan. Add a little golden raisins.
230
00:07:56,180 --> 00:07:57,240
She's not going to get done.
231
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:58,360
Looks like she just started.
232
00:07:58,540 --> 00:08:00,360
You guys got 60 seconds to go.
233
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,930
Lay out the cabbage leaves and get the
234
00:08:02,940 --> 00:08:03,920
stuffing in there.
235
00:08:04,060 --> 00:08:05,360
Go, Erin. Go, Erin.
236
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,540
Nine. I opened up the tahini.
237
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,010
I'm hoping for a hail Mary, but I just
238
00:08:11,020 --> 00:08:11,640
don't have time.
239
00:08:12,660 --> 00:08:14,570
Three, two, one.
240
00:08:14,580 --> 00:08:15,660
Happy new year.
241
00:08:17,980 --> 00:08:20,420
This dish is not my best work.
242
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:21,150
Good job, Dad.
243
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,070
I hope he's drowned that dish in so much
244
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,550
soy sauce that you can't taste the
245
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:30,360
cabbage. Well,
246
00:08:32,740 --> 00:08:34,150
chefs, believe it or not, this is one of
247
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,460
my first times having cabbage.
248
00:08:36,700 --> 00:08:38,360
Chef Steven, tell us about your dish.
249
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,640
I'm in a mytaki and napa spring roll,
250
00:08:40,820 --> 00:08:42,340
pickled cabbage and enough chum.
251
00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:47,050
I immediately got excited because there's
252
00:08:47,060 --> 00:08:48,870
a couple different techniques of using
253
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,030
the cabbage. The spring roll is good
254
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,280
mushroom flavor. I can taste the cabbage.
255
00:08:53,460 --> 00:08:55,910
The slaw is very bright and has some
256
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,000
great texture to it.
257
00:08:57,300 --> 00:08:59,390
The dipping sauce touched heavy on
258
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,430
sesame, but overall I think a very
259
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,820
successful dish. I like this.
260
00:09:03,900 --> 00:09:04,640
I love the crunch.
261
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,210
There's a lot of mushroom, but I'm not
262
00:09:06,220 --> 00:09:06,770
mad at that.
263
00:09:06,940 --> 00:09:09,070
The slaw had a little bit of a kick, but
264
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:09,740
I'm a fan.
265
00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:11,160
If this is cabbage, I'm down.
266
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,540
Erin, what did you make?
267
00:09:13,900 --> 00:09:16,350
Napa cabbage roll stuffed with more
268
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,530
cabbage, oyster mushrooms, hazelnuts and
269
00:09:18,540 --> 00:09:21,870
quinoa. These are flavors that I really
270
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,050
love, like the golden raisins, dill and
271
00:09:25,060 --> 00:09:27,370
quinoa, but the dish lacks a little bit
272
00:09:27,380 --> 00:09:28,900
of seasoning and tahini.
273
00:09:29,020 --> 00:09:30,440
I don't think that made it on here.
274
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,480
Yeah, the time really did me in.
275
00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:35,490
Yeah, I love quinoa, the golden raisins
276
00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:36,640
and the hazelnuts.
277
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:37,940
I was excited for the tahini.
278
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,340
I'm sorry. It's okay.
279
00:09:39,540 --> 00:09:40,500
Just give us a moment.
280
00:09:41,540 --> 00:09:43,620
I'm honestly not feeling confident.
281
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,190
I know what it needed to be and I know
282
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:47,570
where it falls short.
283
00:09:47,580 --> 00:09:50,660
The chef moving forward is...
284
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:58,000
Steven. You
285
00:09:58,460 --> 00:10:00,370
know, sometimes these things just don't
286
00:10:00,380 --> 00:10:01,810
come together. It's part of the creative
287
00:10:01,820 --> 00:10:04,090
process and the creative process is
288
00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:07,690
sometimes messy. Steven, I feel you just
289
00:10:07,700 --> 00:10:09,580
gave us a more complete dish.
290
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,570
Chef, you and I have been in the same
291
00:10:20,580 --> 00:10:22,230
kitchen before. You beat me lobster
292
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,040
ravioli, wasn't it?
293
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:24,800
What's your signature dish?
294
00:10:24,940 --> 00:10:29,060
My signature dish is lobster bisque.
295
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,700
Oh. Oh, he's staying on the lobster.
296
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,200
45 minutes on the clock.
297
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:35,400
Let's beat Bobby.
298
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,720
Are you familiar with lobster bisque?
299
00:10:43,380 --> 00:10:45,650
Uh... It's basically like a cream of
300
00:10:45,660 --> 00:10:47,930
lobster soup. They take the shells of the
301
00:10:47,940 --> 00:10:49,200
lobster to make stock.
302
00:10:49,460 --> 00:10:51,740
The tomato paste typically removes cream,
303
00:10:51,980 --> 00:10:53,690
often garnished with big chunks of
304
00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:55,320
lobster. I'm excited.
305
00:10:56,580 --> 00:10:58,560
Classic lobster bisque is too simple.
306
00:10:58,740 --> 00:11:00,670
So I have to bring crazy flavor profiles
307
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:02,850
that Bobby might not think would be
308
00:11:02,860 --> 00:11:03,410
coming out of.
309
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,010
I'm making a Vietnamese style lobster
310
00:11:06,020 --> 00:11:09,190
bisque with tempura lobster, crispy sea
311
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,100
beans and yuzu gremulata.
312
00:11:11,420 --> 00:11:12,930
First, I'm going to drop the claws in the
313
00:11:12,940 --> 00:11:14,810
water, skewer the tails that keep the
314
00:11:14,820 --> 00:11:16,600
tail straight, drop those in the water.
315
00:11:16,900 --> 00:11:18,480
Then I'm going to focus it on my stock.
316
00:11:18,820 --> 00:11:20,930
I start sweating the shells to caramelize
317
00:11:20,940 --> 00:11:23,410
them. I add a lemongrass adds a floral
318
00:11:23,420 --> 00:11:26,620
note, ginger, garlic, shallots, carrot,
319
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,280
celery, shrimp paste and vermouth.
320
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,950
Well, Steve is moving a lot quicker than
321
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,080
Bobby. Steve had beat me on a chop.
322
00:11:35,260 --> 00:11:36,400
I'd like to tie up the score.
323
00:11:36,620 --> 00:11:38,110
So I'm going to do a Southwest American
324
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,870
version with smoked chiles and some fresh
325
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,450
masa croutons. I need to get my lobsters
326
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:45,250
cooked first. I want to heat up some
327
00:11:45,260 --> 00:11:47,240
lobster stock. So I'll take some onions,
328
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,210
some garlic. I'm going to add some tomato
329
00:11:49,220 --> 00:11:51,590
paste. Bobby, did you put sherry in there
330
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,100
or was that like mezcal?
331
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,800
No, it was tequila and mezcal.
332
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,330
Whoa. Am I going to get wasted from the
333
00:11:57,340 --> 00:11:58,820
bisque? It's going to be hammered.
334
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,950
Usually this would have sherry in it, but
335
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,900
I'm using tequila and mezcal instead.
336
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,460
That's going to give it a smoky flavor.
337
00:12:05,740 --> 00:12:07,710
Then I'm going to add some flour and some
338
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:08,980
of my warm reduced stock.
339
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,310
I'm also eating up some heavy cream.
340
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:12,880
I'm trying to multitask here.
341
00:12:15,780 --> 00:12:19,200
Steven is icing the lobster's body parts.
342
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,270
It's shocking it, so it stops the
343
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:22,910
cooking. Once it's overcooked, it gets
344
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,080
very rubbery and tough.
345
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,070
I have to make sure it's a cook-a
346
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,570
-lopster. It's on point, so I undercook a
347
00:12:28,580 --> 00:12:30,310
little bit because it's going to cook a
348
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:31,760
little bit more when you fry them.
349
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,980
35 minutes on the clock, guys.
350
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:37,400
How are you doing, Steven?
351
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:38,950
Good. Nice to roll him as you're going
352
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,230
there. So you're kind of going a little
353
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,620
Asian. Yeah, Vietnamese.
354
00:12:42,140 --> 00:12:43,370
We're going to cook it down with coconut
355
00:12:43,380 --> 00:12:45,960
milk, curry lime, and then cream it.
356
00:12:46,300 --> 00:12:47,580
All right, mixing it up.
357
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:49,630
Yeah, this curry cream is going to be my
358
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,670
base. I add red curry paste to the
359
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:54,090
coconut milk, just with heavy cream and
360
00:12:54,100 --> 00:12:56,250
lime juice. Those are the prime flavors
361
00:12:56,260 --> 00:12:58,160
of a Thai Vietnamese dish.
362
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:01,280
What's up, buddy?
363
00:13:01,780 --> 00:13:03,690
What's happening? You didn't, like, sweat
364
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:05,150
out the shells if they get some of that,
365
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,360
like, deeper lobster flavor?
366
00:13:06,740 --> 00:13:07,440
That lobster's stuck.
367
00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:08,240
Oh, you're cheating.
368
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,520
Steven's over there sweating shells.
369
00:13:10,700 --> 00:13:11,580
Let him sweat it out.
370
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,160
What do you have, turmeric and cumin?
371
00:13:19,260 --> 00:13:20,690
Congratulations. You look great.
372
00:13:20,700 --> 00:13:21,860
Oh, he does look good.
373
00:13:24,580 --> 00:13:26,960
Bobby, you're cream-poiled over.
374
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,020
I'm reducing it.
375
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,400
Oh, chipotle and adobo.
376
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:31,850
Is this the first time you've ever used
377
00:13:31,860 --> 00:13:32,940
chipotle and adobo?
378
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,510
First ever. All right, Steven.
379
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,350
So Bobby's got a lot of those
380
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,350
southwestern flavors, so do not be shy
381
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,160
with the flavor.
382
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:42,940
Does that cuisine still exist?
383
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,810
Oh! Wow. Steven is like, he's got this
384
00:13:47,820 --> 00:13:48,440
whole thing won.
385
00:13:48,980 --> 00:13:50,240
He's very confident.
386
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,170
He's got this thing wrapped up, but I'm
387
00:13:52,180 --> 00:13:53,220
not going down on another fight.
388
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:54,240
Let's see what you got.
389
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:02,620
27 minutes. That's it.
390
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,130
Neither of these guys are making
391
00:14:06,140 --> 00:14:08,070
traditional biscuits. Steven is going
392
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,760
with some of those Asian flavors,
393
00:14:09,860 --> 00:14:12,000
lemongrass, coconut milk, curry.
394
00:14:12,180 --> 00:14:15,050
Mmm. Bobby or southwestern, southwestern
395
00:14:15,060 --> 00:14:16,790
cuisine is what made Bobby Flay Bobby
396
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,040
Flay. It's going to be interesting.
397
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,220
Oh, mergus.
398
00:14:20,900 --> 00:14:22,730
Well, my biscuit's going restaurant on my
399
00:14:22,740 --> 00:14:24,970
master crouton. I have some masa harina
400
00:14:24,980 --> 00:14:26,420
mixed with some warm water.
401
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,110
I add some cumin, turmeric for color, and
402
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,510
then I'm going to punch them out in the
403
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,010
tortilla press. But I'm not making
404
00:14:32,020 --> 00:14:34,260
tortillas. I am making totopos.
405
00:14:34,460 --> 00:14:36,190
These have an airy, crispy texture to
406
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,980
them. When people have lobster bisque,
407
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,420
they usually want a crunchy element.
408
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:43,550
I'm going to do it in a couple of
409
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,510
different ways. Crispy sea beans in fried
410
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,330
lobster. I'm mixing soda water, rice
411
00:14:49,340 --> 00:14:51,060
flour to make my tempura.
412
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,890
Then add sea beans, which are a type of
413
00:14:53,900 --> 00:14:56,100
seaweed. They're filled with salt water,
414
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,790
and when you fry them, they pop, almost
415
00:14:58,800 --> 00:14:59,860
like you're eating an oyster.
416
00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:02,160
Next, I'm going to break down the claws,
417
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,210
jump them into tempura, turn them into
418
00:15:04,220 --> 00:15:06,560
fries, cut the tails into little coins.
419
00:15:06,740 --> 00:15:08,070
Steve's got a lot of different textures
420
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,080
and garnishes in there.
421
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,730
Temporal lobster, poached sea beans, and
422
00:15:11,740 --> 00:15:13,900
the antenna. The more things you put on,
423
00:15:13,980 --> 00:15:15,200
the more things they could critique.
424
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,140
Is that the whisker?
425
00:15:16,220 --> 00:15:17,840
Steven, are all your garnishes edible?
426
00:15:18,260 --> 00:15:19,620
Yes, you can eat the antenna.
427
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:20,720
It's like fried spaghetti.
428
00:15:22,940 --> 00:15:25,090
My stock is where I want it to be, so I'm
429
00:15:25,100 --> 00:15:25,820
going to strain it.
430
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,730
And I'm going to add a little of my
431
00:15:27,740 --> 00:15:29,940
lobster stock to the coconut cream.
432
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,120
It's creating a lobster bisque concept.
433
00:15:35,220 --> 00:15:36,800
Coming up on 11 minutes!
434
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,670
I'm going to blend the bisque, and I'm
435
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:41,400
going to strain it out.
436
00:15:41,620 --> 00:15:43,270
I'm also adding some honey and then some
437
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,450
heavy cream. I put the lobster into the
438
00:15:45,460 --> 00:15:47,250
bisque, add some chives, add some
439
00:15:47,260 --> 00:15:48,760
cilantro, some lime juice.
440
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,000
Perfect. Do you know how to take a photo?
441
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:54,960
You're just going to push that button?
442
00:15:55,220 --> 00:15:56,180
Yeah, I got it.
443
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,120
This is my show now.
444
00:15:59,900 --> 00:16:01,040
I'm Bobby Flay.
445
00:16:02,060 --> 00:16:03,280
Everyone's out to get me.
446
00:16:04,140 --> 00:16:05,080
Bring it on.
447
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:08,640
Do I do that with my arms?
448
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:09,510
I don't know.
449
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:10,430
I think so.
450
00:16:10,860 --> 00:16:13,160
Totally. I'm Bobby Flay.
451
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:14,260
I'm Bobby Flay.
452
00:16:14,540 --> 00:16:15,480
I'm making some soup.
453
00:16:20,540 --> 00:16:22,400
So what do you got there, Hefe?
454
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:23,100
This is for you.
455
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:24,200
What? What?
456
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,720
Wow. That's very good.
457
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:28,360
It's very good.
458
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:29,240
Is it too spicy?
459
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:30,560
Actually, it's not that.
460
00:16:30,620 --> 00:16:31,600
Yeah, because I put some cream in it.
461
00:16:31,740 --> 00:16:32,810
It's balance. Should it be a little
462
00:16:32,820 --> 00:16:34,490
thicker? I mean, I don't think so, but...
463
00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:37,530
Okay. Stephen, okay, so you got raw
464
00:16:37,540 --> 00:16:39,420
lobster, crispy lobster, sea beans.
465
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,960
Very nice. Who thinks he can win tonight?
466
00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:45,690
We're going to be undefeated against
467
00:16:45,700 --> 00:16:46,940
Bobby. We should team up.
468
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:47,820
Batman and Robin.
469
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:48,680
He can be my Robin.
470
00:16:48,860 --> 00:16:53,580
Oh! Under six minutes, guys.
471
00:16:53,820 --> 00:16:54,600
Bring it on!
472
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,370
Time for me to get started on my Yuzu
473
00:16:58,380 --> 00:17:01,950
chimichurri. Yuzu is a Japanese citrus
474
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,210
similar to a lemon, but has a floral note
475
00:17:05,220 --> 00:17:06,180
of a lime.
476
00:17:06,620 --> 00:17:09,670
Fresh herbs, agave nectar, olive oil, and
477
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:10,580
just bringing it together.
478
00:17:11,820 --> 00:17:13,260
We have two minutes left.
479
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,270
I spoon it best into the bowl, chop up
480
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,770
the masakrutons, put those on top, a
481
00:17:19,780 --> 00:17:20,500
little lime zest.
482
00:17:20,700 --> 00:17:23,010
That's it. I'm going to get to building
483
00:17:23,020 --> 00:17:24,730
my plate. So I'm going to stower, put in
484
00:17:24,740 --> 00:17:27,110
a pre-sliced lobster tail, pour over the
485
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:30,030
coconut cream, put the tempura, lobster
486
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,980
on top of that, then the sea beans.
487
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,900
Ten, nine, eight.
488
00:17:34,940 --> 00:17:36,720
Stab it with a fried tentacle.
489
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,880
And drizzle the Yuzu gremulata.
490
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,040
Three, two, one.
491
00:17:42,780 --> 00:17:45,340
Yeah! I feel it.
492
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:46,150
I feel it.
493
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,090
Looking at this dish, I'm proud that I
494
00:17:49,100 --> 00:17:50,910
was able to use every element of the
495
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,260
lobsters. It shows skill.
496
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:53,080
It looks good.
497
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:53,900
I feel good.
498
00:17:54,380 --> 00:17:54,930
Be scared.
499
00:18:01,420 --> 00:18:02,580
All right, guys.
500
00:18:02,660 --> 00:18:04,940
So, nice challenge was lobster bisque.
501
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,950
And now we'd like to introduce you to
502
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,350
your judges. Executive chef and partner
503
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:11,940
of Crave Fish Bar, Todd Midgang.
504
00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:17,330
The director of NYU Food Lab, Lordess
505
00:18:17,340 --> 00:18:21,580
Castro. Chef owner of Ed's Lobster Bar,
506
00:18:22,020 --> 00:18:22,740
Ed McFarland.
507
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,650
Judges, please try the first lobster
508
00:18:26,660 --> 00:18:27,580
bisque in front of you.
509
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,250
I love the tempura lobster and the sea
510
00:18:36,260 --> 00:18:37,360
beans on top.
511
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,420
They gave a nice texture to the dish.
512
00:18:39,580 --> 00:18:42,450
The consistency of the cream was very
513
00:18:42,460 --> 00:18:44,990
good. For me, though, the Yuzu and the
514
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,930
curry cream kind of lost the lobster
515
00:18:46,940 --> 00:18:50,440
flavor. I love the balance of flavor.
516
00:18:50,540 --> 00:18:51,840
And in particular, the citrus.
517
00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:53,600
So, the Yuzu with the lobster.
518
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,270
The sauce is a little heavy-handed on the
519
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,640
cream. But I think it's a wonderful dish.
520
00:18:58,400 --> 00:18:59,540
I love the presentation.
521
00:18:59,900 --> 00:19:01,320
The lobster was perfectly cooked.
522
00:19:01,420 --> 00:19:03,020
The tempura was nice and crispy.
523
00:19:03,220 --> 00:19:05,460
Just found it to be a tad salty.
524
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:06,680
All right, thank you, judges.
525
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:07,480
You can switch plates.
526
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,460
I really like the texture of the soup.
527
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,330
It's a little thinner than a traditional
528
00:19:18,340 --> 00:19:20,390
bisque. And the mezcal flavor is
529
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,030
fantastic. The lobster, though, seems to
530
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:23,980
be a little tough.
531
00:19:24,860 --> 00:19:26,750
So, I thought this dish was really well
532
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,810
-composed. The mezcal was a really nice
533
00:19:28,820 --> 00:19:30,370
touch with some smokiness, because the
534
00:19:30,380 --> 00:19:31,680
flavors were quite right.
535
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,960
The croutons were nice texturally.
536
00:19:34,300 --> 00:19:36,000
It was a little under-seasoned for me.
537
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,250
But overall, I like the flavor of this
538
00:19:38,260 --> 00:19:38,820
dish as well.
539
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,250
I really like the smokiness of the mezcal
540
00:19:42,260 --> 00:19:44,120
with the spiciness of it.
541
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,720
The heat level was right on for me.
542
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,030
The masacrutons, they had a nice earthy
543
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,190
flavor. But I found the lobster to be
544
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,760
slightly overcooked.
545
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:55,590
So, it sounds like this is going to be a
546
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,410
close one tonight, but I need you to
547
00:19:57,420 --> 00:20:00,710
vote. The one thing going through my mind
548
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,210
is the judge might like Bobby's better
549
00:20:02,220 --> 00:20:03,840
mind, maybe because of the mezcal.
550
00:20:04,060 --> 00:20:05,410
I think it's going to come down to the
551
00:20:05,420 --> 00:20:06,170
cook of the lobster.
552
00:20:06,180 --> 00:20:08,260
And the winner is...
553
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,740
Chef Steven! APPLAUSE Good job, dude.
554
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,080
Good job.
555
00:20:19,780 --> 00:20:21,880
I just beat Bobby play.
556
00:20:22,260 --> 00:20:24,360
I am feeling on top of the world.
557
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,090
I don't think there's anybody out there
558
00:20:26,100 --> 00:20:27,700
that can say they beat Bobby play twice.
559
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:28,640
This is amazing.
560
00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:32,170
I thought the texture better represented
561
00:20:32,180 --> 00:20:34,850
the bis, and the lobster was perfectly
562
00:20:34,860 --> 00:20:35,990
cooked. Thank you.
563
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,710
I think that makes it Steven to play
564
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,800
zero. Try again.
565
00:20:41,140 --> 00:20:42,100
I'll be his wingman.
566
00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:47,420
We beat Bobby play because of the walk.
567
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:48,920
This is how we beat him.
568
00:20:49,100 --> 00:20:51,830
Once we got this in his head, he went all
569
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,400
off. We're walking down easy street play.
570
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:56,480
I'm s***.
