Watching it, Sarah, Christopher and I were all pretty convinced that we 
would never want to cook in a kitchen with Bobby Flay. I thought that 
Marimoto should have gotten some sort of token for not killing him, 
considering the number of times the poor guy had to intervene in a 
disaster caused by Flay's idiocy. On the other hand, the Italian guy 
seemed to be pretty good about sharing a kitchen with someone else.

Flay reminded me vividly of the squire-autocrat that a friend of mine 
did a feast for, who complained that there was not enough meat in the 
menu (there was only 30 lbs left over) and generally made a nuisance of 
himself while claiming that he could cook better than anyone in the 
Kingdom.
