As a kid, Bobby Flay and Alton Brown had me glued to the TV. They inspired my love for cooking and to have now seen both on the show warms my heart. What a great episode. Love it!
I *LOVE* when a guest has a palate and the language to describe it. As always, Sean brings the best interview in the game, but I really appreciate when the guest can articulate a taste experience. Great episode!! Thank you Bobby.
This is one of my favourite episodes in a long time. Bobby seems like a great guy and this was a great way to get to know him. Love his wing compliments and sauce analysis as well. One of Sean's most well rounded interviews in a while.
Love how Bobby is just as interested in analyzing/discussing the sauces as he is in talking about himself. He seems very humble & authentic. So along with Sean, this is a down-to-earth conversation. Love it.
One of my favorite parts of these interviews is when guests point out the fact that Sean keeps talking while they’re trying not to choke and die hahaha
When a chef comes out and says the ingredients on the spot, it's always impressive, I grew up with Bobby Flay, he's one of my favorite chefs out there, being in my top 3 with Emeril and Alton Brown, I'm glad you got him, wonderful episode
Sean's interview skills REALLY shine during that ice cream question...he knew Bobby was suffering, but he still managed to spin the convo around back to a question. So impressive!!!
He hardly reacted to the sauces like a lot of people on the show before him did. He is a true chef tackling various peppers and describing their taste.
Over 30 years ago I went to culinary arts 24:41 school, learned a lot, learn how to break down and understand recipe so well I could taste something and know what it's made with. What is amazing about this episode is Bobby has this way of conveying emotions where I actually felt my mouth burning and I'm just breathing air. of course my saliva is bursting because I've had so many different hot sauces and they are stuck in my memory.
Bobby is such a great public educator. I love how he can pick up on the different flavors and describe it to us. Thanks for having him on. I actually learned some things.
@@Mr_Mike97190he would have been an absolute blast. The culinary world and world in general is just a little bit darker of a place without Anthony and his passion for food and the culture around it. I wouldn't have entered the industry or learned to truly appreciate food as an experience without him.
I could have watched 25 more minutes of this! I think chefs are my fave guests on Hot Ones, and seeing Bobby be a human and react like a normal person to the spice was great. He was really interesting to listen to, and as always Sean asked great questions which is why I could have watched a 2x longer interview easily. More foodie guests!!!
i'd like to think it's because many of the ingredients are in his wheelhouse...lol..but even as one who doesn't eat shishito peppers, i know that 1/10 are really spicy
The face immediately when he does the one thing he did not want to do when there. He knew it immediately. Love it when they have chefs on here critiquing the sauces. Alton will forever be my favorite episode of this.
"50 episodes in 25 days" for anyone is hard work. Add cooking competition into it and that's crazy hard work. Hats off to Chef Bobby and his minions working behind the scenes.
Shoutout to Mr. Flay for representing the whole milk gang😂 Episodes like this are why I keep coming back to Hot Ones. Even my mom was excited hearing Bobby was on this show, it’s pretty much the only RUclips content she watches!
We only have whole milk in my fridge because we had kids and apparently that's the only milk they should have if they drink any at all -- they've outgrown milk for awhile now, but we still keep it for our coffee and cereal!
please get more chefs on the show!! i love hearing them dissect and appreciate the sauces. also hearing bobby’s take on the restaurant and food show businesses was so interesting. it’s a side of him i’ve rarely seen. great interview!!
I"m not from the USA, never heard about Bobby Flay before. By the end of the show I got a pretty good idea, not only because of the usual amazing questions, but also the way he opened up for the whole experience. That's one of the main reasons I'll keep watching Hot Ones, it keeps expanding my horizons. You guys are awesome!
This was a really enjoyable episode. Bobby seems to be a really cool guy (we greeted each other briefly at a tv studio years ago), and his thoughts on the various sauces were informative. This is the first time that I can recall anyone mentioning that Da Bomb contains pepper extract, which apparently is nothing less than concentrated evil. As usual, Sean’s questions were great.
Love him for shouting out Original Iron Chef, it was a near religious must watch for my family on SBS in Australia, the image of Takeshi Kaga passionately biting into a capsicum in the opening lives rent free in my head
Brown, Fierri, now Flay... these episodes with the chefs are some of my favorites. They're just so wholesome and knowledgable and I always feel like I learn something new.
Of all the great Hot Ones episodes, this is one of my favorites because I love that Bobby is a "foody" who can analyze the flavors in a way that makes me feel like I can taste it too 🙂
An absolute legend. Been a fan of Bobby Flay for probably 17 years and loved seeing him in this format. I always love culinary guests because they feel the need to comment on each sauce's culinary qualities. Also swearing on Da Bomb after not wanting to is classic
Me and my mom watch Bobby Flay together all of the time. I was incredibly sick when I was pregnant and couldn’t eat anything. His shows kept me upbeat while being deprived of food for 9 months. Super happy to see him on another show I love. Just pressed play and I know it’s going to be awesome. ❤
As they keep talking about how food TV hit the main steam, I agree with Bobby Flay that Iron Chef was a very big part of it-- because competition demands a story to be interesting. And this story of the competing chefs is acknowledged at every point in the battle, the chairman recognizes the history of both chefs, we learn more about their background and their strengths and weaknesses through Alton Brown's commentary. We took something that was very frequently shown to us as being mundane raised up to the level of serious competition and given the gravitas thereof. Humans have been making and loving and comparing food for as long as we've had the ability to taste, it's part of the reflex to share a new food with a friend; "Look what I found!". Add in the creative components, where we acknowledge that food is creative and artistic, and we step into the domain of things that contain love. "I made this for you" is one of the most special things an artist can say to another person, and food is one of the things were allowed to vocally appreciate and say back " This is amazing! I feel the love" We've been seeing more with food and storytelling, such as the show Somebody Feed Phil, where the lens of food is used to explore history and culture of places all over the world. Food is universal, and sharing food was likely the first pro social communication our species picked up as we started living in nomadic groups waaay back in the cave drawing days. Before we spoke, we broke up fruits for our young and chewed tough meat for our elders. Before the word Love was first spoken, people were sharing it as food. Its a long story, and I think its great that more folks are exploring that space 😊
Bobby Flay is a class act. Talking knowledgeably about flavor profiles, using Sean’s name in conversation, and providing thoughtful answers to the questions. Entertaining and insightful!
Great interview. He's a good dude and I speak from personal experience. I actually called his restaurant (in the early days of Food Network when he was doing "Grillin' and Chillin") and he was there. I actually spoke to Bobby Flay on the phone because I was considering changing careers and becoming a chef after I had already invested time in my current line of work. As odd as it sounds, I wanted his professional advice. He took the time to talk to me and broke it down by asking how much money I made at the time at my current employment. He said it would take about X amount of years to make that amount of money again as a chef. It seemed like an eternity so I decided against it. In retrospect, I probably should have gone for it.
He took the time to meet and talk to us during a busy dinner service years ago at Bolo in NYC. I asked the waiter almost as a joke if we could meet him. I almost spat my food out when he was standing next to me 5 minutes later. Very cool.
I was thinking through this whole show how enjoyable the ones with the chef guests are. The Andrew Zimmern and Alton Brown eps are classics especially as they dive into the actual sauces.
I still remember Morimoto getting offended at him standing on the cutting board, and in the US he removed the cutting board to stand on the counter... and Morimoto still got offended lol.
Wrecking prolific chef’s palates with extraordinary sauces. This is sooo good! Da Bomb is when your brain leaves the room and all the walls of an interview breakdown!
16:54 true facts, best gelato I ever found was on the tropical island of Guam at a lil cafe called Hive ( sadly went out of business at the beginning of Covid ). I took a friend there and when he tasted it this shy dude I mostly knew from DND suddenly opened up about his army brat childhood and living in Italy as a teen and how this gelato took him straight back there because it was just as good. Guy nearly cried and then brought some more to take home to his parents. Really hope whomever was making that gelato started another shop.
I have to thank Bobby Flay for making my children laugh. I love watching my children laugh. Most precious gift on earth. It cracks me up every time he takes a bite and says “why am I taking such big bites “my kids die laughing and it just cracks me up. These are kids Bobby come on man.🤣😂😁😆
Great interview! Bobby was fun to watch and hear him describe the sauces. I totally giggled when he couldn't say "corn on the cob" and someone in the background laughed. Totally a great sport. Such a great show overall!
This is how you know you've got a master: no criticism needed for the sauces. Just looking at the ingredients and predicting what's to come based on that. Bobby's a class act for sure.
Such a huge fan of Bobby Flay since the Iron Chef days and it's so good to see him on here! Please bring more chefs on, I thoroughly enjoy hearing their thoughts & analyses of the sauces ❤ always a fun watch!
I just pausd the video at 13:28 - Sean and team. Your questions this season are next level. I know everyone always praises you so the bar is already high but I've been watching for a long time and the question game is somehow stepped up even further in S22. Bravo.
I’ve seen almost every episode of hot ones, but this seems special. Old school Bobby and new school Sean. I loved the chemistry and respect these two had from the jump. Much love.
One of my new favourite episodes for sure. Such a likable guy. I love how he actually gives a thorough assessment of all the hot sauces. Bobby is an absolute icon in the food industry and he was there from the beginning of the Food Network boom. The dude also looks great all these years later.
This is a great interview -- thoughtful questions, as usual, but Bobby Flay is also a well-spoken guest who knows his business inside and out. I'm impressed.
Iron chef was a classic I would watch it Saturday nights back in high school and remember seeing Bobby flay there. Man those were the good ol days and I love that he said in n out I completely agree!
Bobby Flay is hands down my favorite TV personality. He’s so freaking genuine and I can’t get enough of his talent. He seems really humble and down to earth ❤ Edit: I also love that he smells his food first before tasting. Saaaaame
I love the one where he throws down against some guy who has not got the slightest clue who he is. The guy goes outside his shop and call a friend and tells how some guy showed up and is challenging him. It was a riot.
I loved hearing how he described peppers and ingredients.. this guy is a legend!! He is savage at eating finishing the challenge. He actually took HUGE bites not just a tiny nibble...

Would you watch a Hot Ones-themed competition cooking show?
BRING ON PEWDIEPIE RRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE
Depends on the execution of the show. Would watch an episode to decide
I would love to be on it… I battle all my family and friends on wings
Sure, as long as you get MatPat on for an interview first.
I'd at least watch the first episode but I can't imagine what the hook would be.
As a kid, Bobby Flay and Alton Brown had me glued to the TV. They inspired my love for cooking and to have now seen both on the show warms my heart. What a great episode. Love it!
Alton Brown is THE reason why my dad cooks now. Cooking is much more understandable when you put it in terms of math and physics.
Alton and Bobby are the reason I’m a food scientist
Some kids loved Teletubbies, I loved Jack McDavid and Bobby Flay on Grillin' and chillin'!
Y'all probably know this, but Alton was on Hot Ones too
@@tfgrrl2042 Alton's episode is the goat episode imo. I like when the guests crush it. Lorde episode is another.
Probably one of the only shows I can watch all the way through every single time a new ep comes out.
Yeah this is appointment RUclips
I skipped last episode 🤮
Myself, and many others would absolutely love to have you on this show.
I would but idk half the people they get anymore.
It is. Even if I dont follow the person on, which is rare, I have found out something good. Its like one of the few@@DavidJette
Bobby is one of those that actually understands the ingredients. It’s really neat hearing his insights on the hot sauces
Alton Btown also had a very insightful episode, my favorite.
K but the face the changes effected the out come imo

Right?! I haven't enjoyed a guest's critiques of sauces this much since Alton Brown
Alton Brown was a legend though...
Gordon Ramsay was HILARIOUS
Then Da Bomb shows up lol
Chefs are always fun to watch. He came off alot more humble than i thought he was.
not always, but mostly, Gordon Ramsey was basically unwatchable IMO
@Moheeheeko Gordon was one of my favorites! I'd watch him over Bobby any day.
Agree! Unwatchable is right
Alot is not a word.
@@Moheeheeko It was bit messy. Almost as if the sauces weren't the only heat burning there. What a shame if so.
Bobby Flay is amazing, and him analyzing the flavours and explaining it professionally just makes it better. This is a great episode.
It was so interesting!
I always enjoy when a chef is on Hot Ones and watching what their palates pick up when trying the sauces
I always like it when a guest actually DESCRIBES what it tastes like rather than, oh. it's hot.. Thanks Bobby!
Sean's interview style always brings out the best stories in his guests. Loved the episode!
errr they uploaded it 6 min ago. how did you watch it already? lol
Everytime 🖤
@@doob8181 He didn't, just wrote some comment before watching it haha.

Bobby swearing and immediately making a face when he realizes he didn't make it through the interview was great. 😂
Iron Chef was honestly the show that got me into Food TV and I'm glad he gives the original the respect it deserved.
I scrolled down to comment the same. Glad you beat me to it. I concur.
Allez! Cuisine!
I miss OG Iron Chef. Great memories watching it with my family as a kid.
My favorite thing to watch when I was at my grandma's house growing up. Loved IC
Agreed!!!
Bobby Flay: "These wings are good. You've got a good chef here."
Dom: "Thanks. I've been cooking the same thing for 8 years."
😂
It's already been 8 years?
He has come a long way since Gordon Ramsey was on lol
GOLD… 😂😂
He can put "SME: Hot Wings" on his resume.

It truly is

He came there to review the sauces lol I love it 😂😂😂
Bobby is such a great public educator. I love how he can pick up on the different flavors and describe it to us. Thanks for having him on. I actually learned some things.
Amazing interview, please do more chefs that know what they are talking about and can appreciate the food.
Just let them talk about the sauces. This is the first time I've heard Sean promote his sauce unprompted by anything the guest said.
I agree, more actual chefs as guests.
The one chef/food personality I’m sad never got to do this show is Anthony Bourdain!!!
@@Mr_Mike97190he would have been an absolute blast. The culinary world and world in general is just a little bit darker of a place without Anthony and his passion for food and the culture around it.

Wholeheartedly agree!
You do know Sean's brother does the research for them?
Ina garten! I want to see her swear over the da bomb.
It really was interesting to get this more "human" Bobby Flay, for sure. He always comes off as so serious on TV!
I agree, chefs are also my favorite guests!
I grew up watching Bobby on the food network and this was such a fun episode! I loved the way he described each sauce
I love how Bobby knew everything about each sauce in detail just by glancing at the ingredients
i'd like to think it's because many of the ingredients are in his wheelhouse...lol..but even as one who doesn't eat shishito peppers, i know that 1/10 are really spicy
@@NWLangel You could do a drinking game with them. Like Russian Roulette.
I love that he went through the flavor profiles of all the sauces. I haven't seen anyone else do that. He was selling their products to me lol!
Exactly!! Now I want to buy the sauces he hyped lol
I don't really remember it, but I think Alton Brown did the same thing.
For reals. He sold me on Diablo.
I think Rachel Ray did also, but I can't remember for sure.
I wonder if he was "selling" the sauces just out of force of habit, haha.
Now THIS is a Hot Ones guest!
I love when a chef is on and Bobby Flay is one of the best! 😅

This show makes so many people just more likeable than any other interview.

Even Bobby knows that the bomb is 1 tablespoon per gallon of chili. It is not designed for wings.
One of the most straightforward and cool interviews ever. Newfound respect for Flay.
I'm obsessed with Bobby!!! He's the G.O.A.T of cooking/cooking shows/just being the coolest ❤❤❤

Bobby is so wholesome and a genuinely pleasant person. Great interview!
Bobby wasn't so wholesome when he was fooling around behind his wife's back...what a horn dog! ! !
Wrecking prolific chef’s palates with extraordinary sauces. This is sooo good! Da Bomb is when your brain leaves the room and all the walls of an interview breakdown!
I love this episode already because of his professional breakdown of the sauces for us to actually understand what they're tasting and experiencing
ok
I think I said this on the Andrew Zimmern episode, but I just love guests who know food. The analysis of the sauces themselves is wonderful.
Bobby is an OG and still fun to watch. Crazy to hear about the early Food Network stuff. Great episode.
This was an fun interview Bobby did a incredible job plus him telling Sean what each sauces tasted like was cool
Helps me decide which sauces I want to order!
This is the first episode that has me ordering the hot sauces from the show. Bobby is so great at articulating the flavors

I have to thank Bobby Flay for making my children laugh. I love watching my children laugh. Most precious gift on earth. It cracks me up every time he takes a bite and says “why am I taking such big bites “my kids die laughing and it just cracks me up. These are kids Bobby come on man.🤣😂😁😆
I love how the guests are just as excited to be on the show as Sean is to host them.
I think this one is one of the best. Def up there on the favorites. So refreshing and I found myself laughing and smiling throughout the interview.
Great interview! Bobby was fun to watch and hear him describe the sauces. I totally giggled when he couldn't say "corn on the cob" and someone in the background laughed. Totally a great sport. Such a great show overall!
This is how you know you've got a master: no criticism needed for the sauces. Just looking at the ingredients and predicting what's to come based on that. Bobby's a class act for sure.
Such a huge fan of Bobby Flay since the Iron Chef days and it's so good to see him on here! Please bring more chefs on, I thoroughly enjoy hearing their thoughts & analyses of the sauces ❤ always a fun watch!
Bobby Flay is the man. I love how he's humble enough to have a show where he actually competes and sometimes takes the L.
zzz
Same! I love Beat Bobby Flay. One of the few competition shows I can still enjoy because it’s nothing too crazy.
zzz
Bobby handled the heat much better than Gordon Ramsay did 😂
Gordon Ramsay didn't handle it. He didn't quit so I give him credit....but boy did he suffer!
Yep no contest
I think Rachel Ray was the most unaffected chef they've ever had 😂
@@SeschalAndrew Zimmern was a Boss
With the exception of a DJ everyone has
I just pausd the video at 13:28 - Sean and team. Your questions this season are next level. I know everyone always praises you so the bar is already high but I've been watching for a long time and the question game is somehow stepped up even further in S22. Bravo.
One of the best because he points out the flavors. I could listen to BF talk about food all day and all night. Sean you 're the best.
Great episode! Love when you invite chefs. The way they talk about food and the culture is inspring.
Sean waving to all the behind-the-camera people is so great! Thanks Erica :)
He said how do you still talk lol was about to swing at the air 😂
I’ve seen almost every episode of hot ones, but this seems special. Old school Bobby and new school Sean. I loved the chemistry and respect these two had from the jump. Much love.
One of my new favourite episodes for sure. Such a likable guy. I love how he actually gives a thorough assessment of all the hot sauces. Bobby is an absolute icon in the food industry and he was there from the beginning of the Food Network boom. The dude also looks great all these years later.
This is a great interview -- thoughtful questions, as usual, but Bobby Flay is also a well-spoken guest who knows his business inside and out. I'm impressed.
Iron chef was a classic I would watch it Saturday nights back in high school and remember seeing Bobby flay there. Man those were the good ol days and I love that he said in n out I completely agree!
Bobby Flay is literally the best. Makes it seem like he could chill with anyone. Great episode!
Bobby has been one of the most composed player of the wings. I’ve watched every chef that’s been on and Bobby did great!!!!
Alton Brown did the whole run with no milk & no water... You know he's gonna give Bobby a hard time that he chugged that milk... 😁😁
I grew up watching Food Network with my family, so of course I was instantly excited to see this episode come up in my feed
Bobby Flay is hands down my favorite TV personality. He’s so freaking genuine and I can’t get enough of his talent. He seems really humble and down to earth ❤ Edit: I also love that he smells his food first before tasting. Saaaaame
Sean's ability to match his guest, bite for bite, drink for drink is amazing. It really makes the show.
I love the one where he throws down against some guy who has not got the slightest clue who he is. The guy goes outside his shop and call a friend and tells how some guy showed up and is challenging him. It was a riot.
I love hot ones and love Bobby Flay. What a great match!!
I loved hearing how he described peppers and ingredients.. this guy is a legend!! He is savage at eating finishing the challenge. He actually took HUGE bites not just a tiny nibble...
And by the end, dude was sweating like he was outside in a Vegas summer.
Bobby is forever an icon, one of the best chef to tv chef/host to do it 🫶
I love Bobby Flay! Watch all his shows and was excited to see him take on the wings! This was a great interview
I need to watch Big Night now. I had to look it up and it stars Tony Shalhoub. He would be an interesting guest on here😅
MONK!
i went to Cali in 2016 and had to hit the In and Out and it totally matched the hype. Employees were happy, customers happy. Perfect burger and fries.
