Thank you!

Come on, fatty boombalatty judge #1 looks like she knows a thing or three about onion rings.

They had everyone dip the onion ring in sauce, sure ok, but they’re apparently different sauces? I mean come on, so he has another factor working in his favor because Bobby is a beast with sauces, it could have simply been Bobby’s sauce was better and they got more of that flavor than the onion ring flavor. Also if you fry food you’re supposed to put them on a wire rack not paper towels Bobby wtf how much experience he has and he rested his on paper towels ???

LoL.

LMFAOOO TRUE THAT xD

Bree Schmidt wtf do you mean? Hes in the video

his reactions are always the best, not gonna lie.

The singular crowd.

please get a life... please

Not gonna lie, I liked the video because I saw Brad in the back

biased*

Joel Ibarra 💯%

Respiir In your bed?

but i missed seeing chris morocco in the background! haha

no, get a life already

@@cosmicaverage3986 after you, ladies first of course

@@kevind2409 good may may

plyzwthsqrlz he did, it was on a facebook video.

He didnt show

To be fair, Gordon should want to challenge him. It's how Iron Chef works.

He would crush Gordon, sorry, and I'm a Gordon fan. Unless they were making Wellington or something. Ramsay's method may be better but Bobby's breadth of knowledge is just one-of-a-kind.

+Maxwell Buhler Not a chance in hell.

he looks like Jared Leto XD

I know, right? It pisses me off when someone goes to "taste" something and nibbles off of the edge. Like, eat that shit. Don't go and give your opinion until you do.

He ate them like a man. The rest nibble on them like some kind of fucking mouse. It's annoying

Parko Brad?

He nearly bit his own fingers on the first one

Lol I did lol yeah

Who’s Brad?

Marvin Carey only the best

Error Not Found! Uh, yeah ok! You people are not clever! Idiots!

spongebob meme well they definitely didnt have the camera focused on him for 10 seconds of the intro so i bet nobody /s

Maybe not better necessarily but he definitely thought they were very good which I'm willing to bet Andy took as a major compliment. Nor do I think Andy was that miffed about the loss...as he mentioned, Bobby has decades of experience on him so the results were really to be expected.

Because NOT cos.

@@ingriddubbel8468 Why are you correcting their spelling on slang and 3 years late

Andy's rings were better. Bobby won when they dipped, and lost when they didn't.

youre telling me you don't dip onion rings in sauce? it's a must.

Have them use the same sauce......controls dipshits...lol.

I thought that too, but Bobby's whole thing was the "buttermilk" sauce which may have not gone well w/ the other guys...

yeah it subconciously gives bobby an advantage. they should have left the trays of orings on the counter and let people judge for their own. it wasn't really a blind test. lots of bias

They definitely shouldn't of allowed sauce... cause you can hear the crunchy noise from Bobby's Onion Rings... where it sounded like a tortilla chip crunch, while Andy's sounded like a fluffy Cheetos crunch. Pretty sure Bobby's sauce probably taste better, along with the fact that the onion ring is crunchier... while Andy's is probably better to just eat plain without the sauce.

thats what i wanted them to do

poohpush yea cause soon as they blind tasted them both people didn't pick Bobby's

poohpush What does "should of" mean?

Todd it’s a stupid way of saying ‘should have’

@@bon3wax718 should've* ;)

He should change his name to Bobby Flake

Filthy Planet I thought you meant his onion rings until I read “lotion”

LMFAOOOO

👀

LMFAOOO

Yeah... not sure about that part. That said, Bobby's did look better-- the batter looked lighter.

It was weird they served them with sauce, and apparently different sauces? Ridiculous.

ArrowVisualDesign who eats onion rings dry? That sounds like eating straight oil batter

A bunch of commenters have said the same thing, but I don't see it as being a big deal. If anything, I would think it would work against Flay since he works for Scripps while the other guy is a colleague of the people judging (Bon Appetit, Conde Nast). Maybe it's just me, but if I was going to be biased, it would be towards the guy on my "side".

Of course, you ignore the "if anything" portion. This isn't testing an item that likely has a large placebo effect -- we're talking about onion rings here. I trust that people will generally be honest about what onion ring they prefer. You have two types of rings here -- one with a buttermilk/flour dredge which will create a southern fried chicken-type crust and the other with flour and carbonated liquids (beer and club soda) which will create a beer batter-type crust. I think people just prefer the fried chicken crust. That said, I think the bigger flaw in the test is allowing a dipping sauce because are we sure that they weren't reacting to the sauce? It would have been better to either not allow sauces or to use a standard sauce (like a certain brand of ketchup or ranch dressing).

You need to watch Entourage. His eyebrows are ginger because he's a red-headed fire-crotch and a genetic mistake. -Ari

His hair is probably graying with age, and he dyes it darker

Look at old pictures or video of Bobby he used to have really orange hair

Natasha Estrada he dies his hair cuz it’s gray

cz he is ginger

That's what I'm thinking

Gojira1701 yeah

I thought the same thing - have them both be on one tray. But the bias can go either way. A lot of them would want the underdog/one of their own (magazine professionals) to win and may find Bobby annoying.

pentrixter I agree. Please gouge their eyes out

A- Andy B- Bobby still would have given it away

@@mikemunroe4178 lmaooo I thought the same thing at first but Bobby could've been assigned the letter A and Andy the letter B ya know

*senior editor of the magazine, not the video.

On a onion ring tho? A beer batter on a o-ring is good but having a bit of a more substantial batter for an onion ring can be better.

The buttermilk keeps the onion flavor, is that what you mean? Honestly both looked great, but having run this experiment myself, and specifically just for dipping or burger? Bobby wins. For that light take on it though, Andy ain't wrong.

I have to disagree. Beer batter works best on things like okra, whereas buttermilk does tend to compliment onion rings better without being overpowering. Most beer batters have buttermilk in them so kinda the best of both worlds. I personally love onion rings, have had them in hybrid batters, true beer batters, and true buttermilk batters. It's really hard to beat buttermilk batters because they are simple, don't overpowering the onion, and something everyone likes. Not everyone likes the flavor of beer which is why he lost

no way, dude. buttermilk all the way. it makes the batter ridiculously crispy and flaky. i prefer beer batter when making fish n chips, but it's too overpowering for onion rings.

Seriously. What's with this anti-Bobby Flay bias in this thread? He's an Iron Chef for a reason.
