Adam Harvey, chef of Jackie’s Restaurant in Silver Spring, will compete on Bobby Flay’s new show tonight.

First it was cupcakes. And then food trucks. Now it’s fancy burger joints. We seem to have a thing for lining up to wait for food trends; the more widespread the trend, the longer the lines seem to get, ironically enough. A DCist tipster snapped a picture of the line today outside Bobby Flay’s new K Street burger joint, mere months after locals similarly lined up outside Dupont Circle’s Shake Shack. And just like…

Chef Bobby Flay will be returning to the D.C. area to challenge Chef Gillian Clark’s fried chicken — the show will air January 19 at 8:30 p.m. on the Food Network. This isn’t the first foray into television for Clark, though: her fried chicken, served at the General Store and Post Office Tavern in Silver Spring, has also been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. We doubt Clark’ll have any problems taking Flay down –…

We noted in Friday’s Weekly Feed that celebrity chef Bobby Flay will be the latest to throw his toque into the D.C. burger craze, as he plans on opening a branch of his Bobby’s Burger Palace chain at 2121 K Street NW. Now, the fact that burger joints are taking over this town is hardly a new gripe for our beloved commentariat — but we thought that it might be appropriate to highlight the insanity which comes up when a market like ours is saturated with restaurants all specializing in the same menu item. Behold, the trademarked “Crunchburger“!

Tonight at 9 p.m. on the Food Network, Bobby Flay once again attempts to soften his “rugged” image in Throwdown with Bobby Flay. He’s challenged Chantilly-based Thai Basil Chef Nongkran Daks to a pad thai throwdown. In Flay’s previous visit to the region, Granville Moore’s Teddy Folkman put the smack down in a moules frites challenge. In the meantime, check out a little homemade slideshow and Daks’ audition tape….

Allez Cuisine! From Jack Abramoff’s Signatures to his own restaurant, Farrah Olivia, Morou Ouattara plans to step into a new venue. His eye is on Kitchen Stadium as he competes for the title of the Next Iron Chef. The first episode airs Sunday, 9 p.m. on the Food Network. Eight chefs with the help of Lufthansa Airlines (yay product placement!) will be traveling through Europe and competing against each other to join Mario Batali, Cat…

It has only been a few months since D.C. last had a reality TV star/contestant to fall behind — unless you include our very own Marion Barry and the saga of his various trials and tribulations. But somehow it has escaped our attention that local chef Rahman “Rock” Harper, Executive Chef at B. Smith’s in Union Station, has been competing in this summer’s season of Hell’s Kitchen. The oversight could be due to the fact…

This post written by DCist contributor, Matt Cordell After watching Jose Andres easily handle Bobby Flay a few weeks ago in Iron Chef “Battle Goat,” I expected to suffer the same treatment when I sat down at the newly relocated Oyamel. I prepared to be flayed like Flay. I thought I would be laid low by his ceviche, knocked out by his potables, and rendered dumb by the small plates of D.C.’s undisputed king of…

Local. Organic. Butcher. There are few things in life that excite us the way that those three words do. One reason being that we like to support local purveyors, two organic is always good, and three we love us some good meat! But where does one find such a place? Although more organic markets are popping up, organic butchers still seem few and far between. We were lucky enough to get a tip on The…

We recently visited the Crystal City Jaleo, to not only partake in watching the now famous “Iron Chef: America – Andrés vs. Flay in battle Goat” but also to support one of Andrés favorite charities, D.C. Central Kitchen. We certainly enjoyed watching José Andrés pummel Bobby Flay, but we got even more satisfaction from eating a couple (okay, more than a couple) of Jaleo’s delectable offerings. This left us with the difficult task of choosing…
