[@loorthedarkelf8353]

As they keep talking about how food TV hit the main steam, I agree with Bobby Flay that Iron Chef was a very big part of it-- because competition demands a story to be interesting. And this story of the competing chefs is acknowledged at every point in the battle, the chairman recognizes the history of both chefs, we learn more about their background and their strengths and weaknesses through Alton Brown's commentary. We took something that was very frequently shown to us as being mundane raised up to the level of serious competition and given the gravitas thereof. Humans have been making and loving and comparing food for as long as we've had the ability to taste, it's part of the reflex to share a new food with a friend; "Look what I found!". Add in the creative components, where we acknowledge that food is creative and artistic, and we step into the domain of things that contain love. "I made this for you" is one of the most special things an artist can say to another person, and food is one of the things were allowed to vocally appreciate and say back " This is amazing! I feel the love" We've been seeing more with food and storytelling, such as the show Somebody Feed Phil, where the lens of food is used to explore history and culture of places all over the world. Food is universal, and sharing food was likely the first pro social communication our species picked up as we started living in nomadic groups waaay back in the cave drawing days. Before we spoke, we broke up fruits for our young and chewed tough meat for our elders. Before the word Love was first spoken, people were sharing it as food. Its a long story, and I think its great that more folks are exploring that space 😊

Great interview. He's a good dude and I speak from personal experience. I actually called his restaurant (in the early days of Food Network when he was doing "Grillin' and Chillin") and he was there. I actually spoke to Bobby Flay on the phone because I was considering changing careers and becoming a chef after I had already invested time in my current line of work. As odd as it sounds, I wanted his professional advice. He took the time to talk to me and broke it down by asking how much money I made at the time at my current employment. He said it would take about X amount of years to make that amount of money again as a chef. It seemed like an eternity so I decided against it. In retrospect, I probably should have gone for it.

[@zstevens7]

I love how the guests are just as excited to be on the show as Sean is to host them.

18:10 I'm glad that Bobby clarified that it's not the milk type that helps but just milk in general.

The "I can't see cause I'm crying" comment took me out. 😅😂🤣

[@scandelooch]

I love that Bobby is explaining the flavors, intensity, etc. of the hot sauces. Bobby's an OG❤

I"m not from the USA, never heard about Bobby Flay before. By the end of the show I got a pretty good idea, not only because of the usual amazing questions, but also the way he opened up for the whole experience. That's one of the main reasons I'll keep watching Hot Ones, it keeps expanding my horizons. You guys are awesome!

Definitely check out Iron chef

[@ausdude121]

​@@morganandrea9323sorry I'm from Australia, Is the iron chef you are talking about a new series? Is it on KZbin and we can't get it in Australia

[@captainchris817]

Can I ask where you are from if not the USA, OP?

[@sarahedawkins]

Just here to pile on with more love for Bobby Flay, he is just an all-time great.

16:54 true facts, best gelato I ever found was on the tropical island of Guam at a lil cafe called Hive ( sadly went out of business at the beginning of Covid ). I took a friend there and when he tasted it this shy dude I mostly knew from DND suddenly opened up about his army brat childhood and living in Italy as a teen and how this gelato took him straight back there because it was just as good. Guy nearly cried and then brought some more to take home to his parents. Really hope whomever was making that gelato started another shop.

This is the first episode that has me ordering the hot sauces from the show. Bobby is so great at articulating the flavors

[@toddjenest3212]

I love that Bobby seemingly analyzes every single bite to break down the ingredients. 👍

[@tayltv01]

Bobby is such an awesome guy. I love all of his shows.
