The Throwdown Was Rigged

As you may or may not know, Bobby Flay won last night against the Pop Shop. Bobby Flay's award-winning creation? White bread, goat cheese, brie, sliced green tomatoes, and watercress. [The Pop Shop owners, after tasting it, asided to the camera that it was going to be on their menu next week.]

The Calvert - the Pop Shop's sandwich - was rosemary focaccia, monteray jack cheese, smoked turkey, smoked bacon, avocado, and balsamic mayo.

The judges made a big deal that both sandwiches were really good, but I think we all know that this is a case like Delilah's, where the Food Network obviously did some under the table deals to make sure Bobby Flay came out on top. The crowd definitely seemed to prefer the hometown favorite.

Of course the primary function of the show has been fulfilled: now I am really craving the Pop Shop. Anyone in for this weekend?

Comments

the weird thing -- there are some grilled cheeses that utilize those ingredients already on the Pop Shop menu. also, they have been selling the Flay concoction already. all this month they've had new types every night.
