Bobby Flay Throwdown Vs. a Truck
On October 14th, Food Network chef Bobby Flay "threw-down" against the New York-based Dessert Truck. Food Network describes the show as the following:
"Chef Bobby Flay is on a secret mission: to challenge the absolute masters in different kinds of cooking – award-winning BBQers, bakers, pizza makers and more. In each episode, one of these cooks thinks Food Network is shooting their profile for a show. What they don't know is that Bobby is going to drop in for a surprise visit and challenge them to an unexpected cook-off. Since they're in their element and Bobby's out of his, prepare for an exciting, tension-filled competition."
In this episode, the throwdown took place out of two trucks parked in Union Square, and the judges were random pedestrians. You can find out when they will air the episode again at Food Network.
The Buttermilk Truck Launches Website and Menu
The Buttermilk Truck launched their official website today complete with a full menu and lots of pictures. The menu has been refined a bit and looks great. Luckily, the two items I mentioned as my potential favorites in a previous post (the biscuit sandwich and the chicken and waffles), remain untouched. They seemed to have addressed the biggest concern I have heard about this truck - how does one eat pancakes standing up on a busy street? The solution of offering pancake bites is so simple and sounds so good. I guess the only one question remains - what exactly is Hawaiian bread?
