Rumor Bobby Flay Network

I mean seriously. Bobby’s Triple Threat, Beat Bobby Flay, Bobby Flay’s the Line…just rename this Network already. I love all his shows. Let’s just rename this Network already!

But it’s already the Guy Fieri network.

I want to see them two battle it out in the kitchen.

There’s a reason Guy doesn’t do any cooking on FN. Years back the NYT reviewed his restaurant. It was a great read 🤣

They trashed it!!! SNL did a hilarious bit on it!!

“Oh, this is very much off the chain”

I remember someone made a fake menu for one of his restaurants that included something like a Hefty brand garbage bag full of nachos, sliced open and poured tableside. I wish I could find it again, but google isn’t finding anything.

This is main reason I have stopped watching. They have thousands of shows, it confused me to know end that they run Guy all weekend. Literally...all weekend.

I had no idea anybody liked him tbh.

Apparently Brooke likes him well enough

i think they’ve been together for a little over a year? but she’s still lives in LA. he bought her a diamond commitment ring but they’re not engaged and neither want to get married again. she’s said he’s very romantic! her son is going to NYU so i’m going to assume she’ll prob be in NY more. that’s all i’ve got!

u/Ansee Sep 11 '26

LOL. I really can't stand him or any of his shows... Because he's in it. Hahah.

u/Rexyggor Sep 16 '26

My secret conspiracy is that Bobby isn't actually good at cooking :D

Remember when everyone was saying it was the Guy Fieri network?  Pepperidge Farms does.

I think you meant to put this on the Food Network sub?

I am here for the Carla Hall network

u/Ok-Host3771 Sep 11 '26

Similarly, I think at this point we need a dedicated Gordon Ramsey network. Having them all in one place would be nice

u/BetaDays24 Sep 11 '26

He’s got at least two on Samsung tv

u/merkorn Sep 11 '26

I tried to watch the line. Really boring. I love triple threat though.

2

u/Correct_Process4516 Sep 12 '26

The line is similar to restaurant wars with live scoring by the customers. I was surprised that neither team averaged over four stars per dish.

u/bobthedruid Sep 11 '26

It feels like it is a negotiation between three superpowers splitting up TV time.

The 3rd superpower.. The baking shows..

u/LadyLudo19 Sep 11 '26

Ugh, has his ego mellowed yet? I’ve never been a big fan of him. He used to talk down to people when he was a judge/mentor on some of the early shows. And I’ve seen some terrible episodes of Beat Bobby Flay where he is just an ass when someone beats him. Admittedly, I’ve avoided watching him because of it for the last ten years or so - has he gotten any better?

u/Party-Cup-9386 Sep 11 '26

I think Triple Threat is one of the best shows they've ever had. Womp womp

u/Maleficent_Crab_3042 Sep 12 '26

He loves himself so much. Every show of his has his name attached or he states it in the info, like nobody knows who he is. "I'm Bobby Flay". Yeah, we know douchebag.

u/OU-Sooners1 Sep 11 '26

Exactly. It’s all Guy or Bobby.

u/thex42 Sep 11 '26

Have they done a Guy vs. Bobby show?
