Beats me, Kbear. I think I've seen one episode (in which he lost). I lost interest after that one. :(

I think people got sick of watching him beat the snot out pretty much *every* challenger on Iron Chef so he created Throwdown (which is kind of boring, imho). I haven't seen him win yet either - musta missed the mac n' cheese episode.

I'm not a fan of his either, but I have caught a few episodes of Throwdown.

I think Anthony Bourdain got it right on a recent blog posting in which he discussed the Food Network's personalities.
Don't know if you've read it, but of Flay he said:
"subjecting poor Bobby to THROWDOWN; the object of which is to allow every web-fingered geek with a backyard grill--or half-mad muffin maker to proclaim, “I beat Bobby Flay at makin’ barbeque!” at the heart-warming end of show--before returning to tend their meth labs.. I watched poor Bobby battle to a draw recently in some bogus Southwestern “Chili Face-Off.” Now…does ANYONE actually believe that Bobby Flay can’t make a better chili than a supermarket ground beef bearing amateur? I don’t. It’s a cruel exercise in humiliation. A variation on “Dunk Bozo” or “Shoot The Geek,” at the carnival. And whatever I might have thought of Flay’s previous TV efforts, I find the network’s misuse of one of their founding chefs to be nauseatingly cynical."

I have seen Bobby beat alot of people. My husband and I love the show too! He tied with the chilie competition, won the cupcake one, the mac and cheese one, and other ones I can't remember. I have seen him win more than lose and I love it. Did anyone see the Donut one? That David guy was a read idiot, he is the only poor winner I saw, never had a good thing to say and was so worried about losing, I wouldn't buy a donut from him if he had the last donut around. :)
