I was watching last night's Grillin & Chillin with Bobby Flay and the
funny southern guy, Jack something. I thought I caught Jack making
fun of Bobby for cutting his finger during the NY Battle.

Bobby was about to split a chicken and Jack says in mother-like tone:
"Careful don't cut yourself. Have you ever used a knife Bobby?.
Bobby says "Thanks Jack".

Are they showing new episodes of Grillin' & Chillin'? I thought they
were reruns from a couple years ago.

I was a fan of the show a few years ago too. They seem like new
episodes to me but i'm not 100% sure. It looks like they're using a
new set and they've switched positions of their grills. Flay's
big-ass gas grill is on the left now and Jack's is on the right.

I'll have to check it out. I had assumed it was the old show. I guess
we all know what happens when we "assume" things.

Now all we need is Jacqui and her Wunderbra to make an appearance!

I can do without Jacqui--and Flay, for that matter--but I always got a
kick out of Jack McDavid. I hope he's still cooking over wood or charcoal
and not some "damn gas grill!"

*** Bobby Flay might get to you a bit, but he acts like what he is... a
young arguably talented pretty boy with his own TV show..... But that
overdone down home country boy act by a resident of a city in the North
Eastern quarter of the US is as phony as his accent. At least Justin
Wilson acts the way he does because he is still lives in Louisana.

*** Ok... he may have grown up in Virginia, and he appears to be a very
creative and adaptable fella who apparently is well educated. However in
his effort to create his " Down Home " persona, he has so exaggerated the
stereotype of a good ole boy that the show should be considered satirical
rather than informative. If we are to criticize Emmeril, then I think that
Jack should be tarred with the same brush.

I'm reminded of an old Jeff Foxworthy routine. It doesn't matter if a
person is a famous brain surgeon, if he has a thick, southern accent he just
sounds stupid.

And don't toss me into the Emmeril Bashing Bandwagon. Remember, these
are cooking "shows". Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, and
apparently there are a lot of viewers who are of the opinion that Emmeril is
OK.

I'll agree with you there. I know I prefer to buy my BBQ in the
stereotypical rundown parts of Kansas City by someone who looks like they
eat their own cooking. You can always trust BBQ from a 300+ lb. chef.

On the other hand, I do think Emmeril knows a thing or three about
Louisiana cuisine, and he has a back east Boston accent.

Bobby Flay: Biography

Bobby Flay "I'm going to put a new and colorful twist on southwestern
cuisine," said Bobby Flay, host of Food Network's Hot Off the Grill
with Bobby Flay, just before the 1991 opening of the now-celebrated
Mesa Grill. Since then the flame-haired man from Manhattan has earned
critical acclaim, including Gael Greene's choice of Mesa Grill as best
restaurant in 1992. Mesa Grill's two-star review in The New York Times
reported that "the sassy fare at Mesa Grill surpasses anything of its
kind elsewhere in New York."

The recognition that Bobby has gained at Mesa Grill for his
mouthwatering dishes has built his reputation as a major force not
only in New York's culinary scene but also nationwide. In May 1993,
Bobby was voted the James Beard Foundation's Rising Star Chef of the
Year, an award that honors the country's most accomplished chef under
the age of 30. The French Culinary Institute, his alma mater, honored
him in 1993 with its first-ever Outstanding Graduate Award, which
recognizes the school's most accomplished alumni. And his first book,
Bobby Flay's Bold American Food (Warner Books, 1994), won the 1995
International Association of Culinary Professionals award for design.

Not one to rest on laurels, Bobby has authored two more
cookbooks--From My Kitchen to Your Table (Crown, 1998) and Boy Meets
Grill (Hyperion, 1999).

Bobby fell into cooking at the age of 17 when he took a job at New
York's Joe Allen restaurant. Eventually, he so impressed the
management that Joe Allen paid his tuition to the prestigious French
Culinary Institute. But French cuisine was not to be Bobby's destiny.
After restaurateur Jonathan Waxman introduced him to southwestern
ingredients, Bobby--instantly drawn to indigenous American foods such
as black and white beans, chiles and avocados--was determined to fully
explore the possibilities of southwestern cuisine as an important and
distinct culinary style for America.

From 1988 to 1990, Bobby experimented with his new culinary passion at
New York's Miracle Grill, where his colorful southwestern creations
earned him something of a cult following. When Bobby's own Mesa Grill
opened its doors in 1991, his reputation as a major New York chef was
sealed. He continued to soar with Bolo, his second New York
restaurant, which Bobby (Bo) and partner Laurence Kretchmer (Lo)
opened in November 1993. Dedicated to exploring Spanish cuisine,
Bobby's innovative menu at Bolo dazzles adventurous palates daily.

Though the accent and the act, and according to some true Cajun and Acadians
that I know, the food are just as fake.

I've read Jack's bio off the Food Network website before. I guess I
just never felt he was perpetrating a fraud on his audience because he's not
some ordinary guy. They advertise on each show that he owns two
restaurants.

I thought Justin Wilson died a few years ago from a heart attack...???
