In the 23rd season of Beat Bobby Flay, episode 3 titled "That's Amore," two contestants go head-to-head with the hopes of winning the chance to challenge Iron Chef Bobby Flay himself. The first contender is Italian-American chef Frank DeCarlo, who owns the successful Italian restaurant Peasant in New York City's Nolita neighborhood. The second challenger is Chef John Mitzewich, better known as Chef John, who is a popular YouTube personality with a passion for Italian cuisine.
The episode starts with the usual reveal of the secret ingredient that the contestants must use in their dish. This time, it's a quintessential Italian ingredient - garlic. As soon as the ingredient is revealed, both chefs get straight to work. Chef Frank, who grew up in a traditional Italian household where garlic was a staple ingredient, seems very confident in his ability to create a winning dish. Chef John, on the other hand, is a bit nervous as he struggles with the texture of the garlic.
Despite Chef John's initial struggles, both contestants manage to create two very different but equally delicious dishes. Chef Frank creates a classic pasta dish with a simple garlic and olive oil sauce, while Chef John creates a unique garlic risotto with crispy pancetta and roasted garlic croutons.
Next up is the moment of truth as Chef Bobby Flay tastes both dishes and decides which one he likes better. Both chefs are on edge as they wait for the verdict. Finally, Chef Bobby Flay announces the winner, and the chef who will move on to the next round to challenge him for the title of Beat Bobby Flay.
Throughout the episode, the judges provide commentary on the chefs' dishes and techniques, offering viewers insights into what makes a standout dish. The judges - including chef and restauranteur Michael Psilakis and Food Network personality Alex Guarnaschelli - are clearly impressed with both contestants' dishes, but they must ultimately choose a winner.
In addition to the main competition, the episode also features a segment called "Bobby's Basics," in which Chef Bobby Flay shares some essential tips and techniques for cooking with garlic. From how to properly chop garlic to the best ways to use garlic in different types of dishes, Chef Bobby Flay provides helpful insights for home cooks.
Overall, the episode of Beat Bobby Flay: That's Amore is a high-energy, entertaining look at the art of cooking with garlic.
