Beat Bobby Flay Season 13 Episode 15 Take a Bao

In this episode of Beat Bobby Flay, titled "Take a Bao," two talented chefs compete for the chance to take on renowned chef Bobby Flay in a head-to-head battle. The first chef, Niki, is a classically trained French chef who has a passion for Asian cuisine. She is up against Jocelyn, a talented chef who specializes in creating innovative and creative dishes using traditional Asian ingredients.

The competition begins with a round of appetizers, and both chefs must create a unique dish using bao buns as the main ingredient. Niki creates a savory dish featuring pork belly, pickled vegetables, and a spicy mayo, while Jocelyn opts for a traditional approach, using a steamed bao bun to create a delicious pork belly slider.

Next up is the entrée round, where the chefs must prepare a dish that utilizes a mystery ingredient chosen by Bobby Flay himself. This time, the ingredient is lemongrass, and both chefs must incorporate it into their dish in a creative and flavorful way. Niki chooses to create a lemongrass risotto with seared scallops and a creamy coconut sauce, while Jocelyn goes for a wok-fried dish featuring lemongrass-marinated chicken and a variety of fresh vegetables.

Finally, it's time for the dessert round, where the chefs must create a sweet and satisfying dish using a surprise ingredient. This time, the ingredient is matcha powder, a popular Japanese ingredient known for its unique flavor and health benefits. Niki chooses to create a matcha-infused panna cotta with a raspberry and white chocolate sauce, while Jocelyn goes for a more traditional approach, creating a matcha green tea ice cream and topping it with crispy rice noodles and a caramel sauce.

Throughout the episode, both chefs demonstrate their talent and skill in the kitchen, impressing the judges with their creativity, flavor combinations, and presentation. But ultimately, only one can earn the right to take on Bobby Flay in the final round. Tune in to "Take a Bao" to see which chef comes out on top and gets the chance to face off against one of the most renowned chefs in the world.
