QOTD #00127: “If you were a TV contestant on Beat Bobby Flay, what family recipe could you win with?”

“I have no doubt that I would take Bobby Flay down in a chocolate cake with vanilla frosting throw down. It sounds incredibly simple, but my secret is that the family recipe is only for the frosting. You use the box Devil's food chocolate cake, and then you focus all of your efforts on a vanilla frosting that uses so much powdered sugar it should be illegal.”

“If I were a contestant on beat Bobby Flay I think that my family recipe that would definitely win with is pasta. Um , We don't really have a specific name for the pasta, but it's always delicious. It's tomato-y and garlicky. Um, Spicy. It's so nice and everyone I've made it for has loved it, So I think we would win with that.”

“You know, I'm not much of a chef myself, but my mom makes some great meals and she makes this pumpkin soup that she came up with the recipe for. So if I could copy that relatively simple recipe, I feel like I might at least have somewhat of a chance.”

“If I was a contestant on Beat Bobby Flay, I would have to go with the Beef Wellington by Gordon Ramsey because I've always wanted to see the two compete. And if not, then I'll make something that Gordon would like .”

“I don't have like a secret family recipe that I could beat Bobby Flay with , but I think I could beat him with my fried chicken because I make absolutely bomb fried chicken and probably have to like, come up with some special twist to add to it. But who doesn't love like fried chicken mashed potatoes and corn on the cob? I think I'd put bacon in it. Put bacon bits in the mashed potatoes bacon in the crust of the of the fried chicken and bacon sprinkled onto the corn on the cob that would win.”

“Okay, what family recipe would I win with? Okay. I would just actually throw my hands up and say, uh, yeah, I give up. I can't do this, um, my mother was a horrible cook, and I've never really tried cooking. Yeah, she used to make the absolutely worst lemon chicken and it tasted like baked fish. So, uh, I'm just determined it's not my genes.”

“If I were a TV contestant on Beat Bobby Flay, what family recipe would you win with? Well, I'm the world's worst cook but I can make a beautiful Baked Alaska. If you call that cooking, and I can make a ginormous one, so I would definitely win with that because everyone would think it's absolutely delicious. Yum Yum yum, I know flavored ice cream as well.”

“I would probably cook my signature lasagna. Or, probably I would cook an Argentine barbecue. I think I can beat him with both of them.”

“Bobby Flay. First of all, I mean, it's a brainless shellback, but I will have to say the lasagna. Oh, my God, all the way back from Grandma and she told me how to make it out. So I feel like Bible in this island. Come on now with Bobby Flay. This ingredient right here baby it's gonna knock you out the water.”

“Okay, because I'm going for the win and I come from a long line of pretty bad cooks, I would go for the one thing that we can do really well, and that is pressure can meat. Yes, I will wow the judges with the fact that this meat was cooked 6 to 9 months ago, hasn't been refrigerated or frozen, but it's still edible. I'm pulling the hippie card. Hope it would make, give me the win. Hey !”

“So we only have one family recipe in our very small family and that is cheese noodles. What it is is small shell noodles, bacon and cottage cheese, and it's served warm. You might think it's served cold, you might think it's like a pasta salad. But no, it's served warm and salted. And it is divine. It's so terribly unhealthy for you, but it is divine in a bowl. Originally, as a little history lesson, it was served with spinach or peas. We don't add those, though. But cheese noodles.”

“This is this is this is a tough one. If I was a contestant on Beat Bobby Flay, what family recipe would I win with? I'd probably say I would win with, you know, I'm a huge fan of simplicity. Um, I'm a big breakfast fan. So I would say my family recipe for sausage bacon cheese biscuits. They are fire with some strawberry jelly.”

“As a caffeine addict, I would win with this one simple recipe with my coffee cup in hand as I'm saying this: I would put Rice Krispies in a bowl of cereal, put it in a bowl and put coffee on top of it with a little bit of sugar. It's so good. If you haven't tried it, try it! And I guarantee that Bobby Flay would love it!”
