I had to take my car to the Honda dealership for regular maintenance yesterday afternoon. I was told it was going to take 90 minutes, so I sat in the waiting room expecting to be horribly bored. "Beat Bobby Flay," which is the type of show I never watch, was on the big-screen TV, and I saw three episodes before my car was ready. I have to say it's not bad. The premise, that two challengers have to cook against each other with the main food item of Bobby's choice, then Bobby has to cook against the winner with the main food item of the winner's choice, is actually pretty clever. The announcers were somewhat annoying but didn't spoil it for me. The cooking itself was impressive and made me hungry. Bobby lost against a challenger two out of the three shows I saw, so the challengers definitely had a chance. I doubt I will ever watch this show at home, but it made waiting for my car less boring than I would have expected.
