Bobby Flay is an asshole. I hate him.

I recently heard a great story about an altercation one of my favorite chefs from Seattle got into with Flay.

To each their own, but Bobby is my second favorite Food Network chef behind the once maligned but now celebrated Chef Robert Irvine. My Iron Chef preferences are as follows:

1. Bobby Flay
2. Michael Symon - Cleveland boy makes good
3. Chef Morimoto - I like that he needs a translator
4. Cat Cora - Boring
5. Mario - No personality and unpleasant to look at

It's all academic though b/c Chef Robert Irvine would school any of them.

Ranking them strictly on culinary ability and leaving out the personality aspect, mine would look like this:

1. Morimoto
2. Batali (btw, if you are ever in Seattle, stop by his family's place. Nicest people in the world.)
3. Symon
4/5. Flay and Cora. I think these two are the bottom of the pile and couldn't really make a distinction between them.

Do tell. I always want more reasons to feel justified in calling him an asshole.
