I recently attended the Metropolitan Cooking & Entertaining Show. Above are some pictures of the show’s highlights.
Bobby Flay was the show’s headliner Sunday evening. He is great with kids.
A girl was at the microphone to ask a question.
Bobby: “How old are you?”
Girl: “Nine and a half.”
Bobby: “When is your birthday?”
Girl: “February”
Bobby: “That isn’t nine and a half; you are nine and three quarters. What is your question?”
Girl: “How do you like your burgers?”
Bobby: “Medium rare to medium.”
Girl: “We went to Bobby Flay’s Burger Palace and my father… (she is getting angry) MADE me order MEDIUM WELL. I wanted medium rare.”
Bobby: “Is your father here?” (No.) “Is your mother here?” (Yes.) “Get your mother for me.”
Bobby: Asks mother: “What is this I hear about her father making her eat medium well burgers?”
Mother: “I think he sees it as a food safety issue.”
Bobby: “It’s Bobby Flay’s Burger Palace, it’s safe! Let her have the medium rare burger.”
Another kid (also a girl) asked him if he is going to do the next season of Worst Cooks in America. He said that it is really Anne Burell‘s show and that he wouldn’t be hosting with her this year and the kid was on the verge of tears.
Bobby: “Don’t cry! Tyler Florence will be co-hosting this season.”
The kid: “Tyler Florence?” And she brightened right up.
Bobby: (Faking jealousy:) “You don’t have to be so happy about it. (To the audience:) “She likes Tyler.”
