Feeling Bleu is the fourteenth episode of Season 13 of the popular cooking competition show, Beat Bobby Flay. In this episode, the concept of cheese takes center stage as two talented chefs compete to try to take down the culinary heavyweight that is Bobby Flay.
The episode starts with the introduction of the two chefs who will be competing. The first chef is Sarah Grueneberg, owner of Monteverde Restaurant & Pastificio in Chicago. Grueneberg is a James Beard Award-winning chef who specializes in Italian cuisine. Her challenger is William Barial, the executive chef of The Blue Crab in New Orleans. Barial has over 15 years of experience in the culinary industry and specializes in Cajun and Creole cuisine.
Chefs Grueneberg and Barial must face off in a preliminary round where they have to impress judges with their cheese-based dishes. The judges for this episode are Jamika Pessoa and Simon Majumdar. Jamika is a celebrity chef and TV personality and Simon is a food critic and journalist.
The first round is intense, and both chefs create mouthwatering dishes that feature various types of cheeses. Chef Grueneberg's dish is a Spinach and Ricotta Gnudi that the judges describe as "perfect." Chef Barial creates a Smoked Gouda and Andouille Sausage Frittata that also receives high praise from the judges. After much deliberation, the judges select Chef Grueneberg as the winner of the preliminary round, sending her on to the next round to face off against Bobby Flay.
The main competition between Chef Grueneberg and Bobby Flay is equally intense, and both chefs pull out all the stops to create their cheese-based dishes. Chef Grueneberg makes a Squash Casoncelli with Burrata, Walnuts, and Sage Brown Butter that is met with rave reviews from the judges. Bobby Flay, on the other hand, creates a Saffron Angel Hair Pasta with a Four Cheese Sauce that wows the judges with its bold flavors.
The judges for this round are Susan Feniger, a chef and restauranteur, and Marcus Samuelsson, a renowned chef and author. They taste both dishes and make their final decision, announcing the winner of the competition.
Overall, Feeling Bleu is an exciting episode of Beat Bobby Flay that highlights the power of cheese in cooking. Both chefs impress the judges with their creativity and skill, but only one can take down the culinary titan that is Bobby Flay.
