Bobby Faly Throw-Down  

I was watching Bobby Flay's Throw-Down last night, and it was very entertaining! Bobby Flay went to Harlem for a German Chocolate Cake throw down. He challenged the owner of a bakery that has excellent German Chocolate cake! The lady has gained popularity from sharing and cooking her family's secret recipe, and was busy having a cake party, when Bobby Flay showed up and surprised her! What I didn't know was that German Chocolate Cake is not from Germany, but from A guy with the last name German. I think the guy also has his name on German's Baking Chocolate, too. The show got my mouth watering, as Bobby Flay made his own german chocolate cake. He proceeded to layer the cake with fillings of coconut and pecans, finishing off the cake with a nice topping of ganache sprinkled with toasted coconut and pecans. How I wanted to bi in the audience to taste both cakes to determine the winner! What is great about the Bobby Flay Throw Downs is he also gives the challenger a chance to showcase their restaurant business and get some public exposure, no matter who wins. He is so warm and funny about it, too, as he competes. The next Bobby Flay throw down after that was about brownies. Hmm.. He challenged the Vermont Brownie Company (I think they are online, too), as they are reknown for their grown-up version of the brownie with goat cheese in the middle. Bobby Faly with his trusty assistants whipped up a decadent brownie with caramel and peanut butter inside. However the Vermont Brownie Company won! It was soo cool, and made me crave both desserts.
