"Beat Bobby Flay" is a cooking competition show that features celebrity chef Bobby Flay as the main challenger. Contestants, who are skilled chefs themselves, compete against each other in a preliminary round to earn the chance to face Flay in a final cook-off. The show highlights various culinary techniques and dishes, showcasing the talents of both the contestants and Flay. In the final round, the selected contestant must create a dish that they believe can outshine Flay's own creation. A panel of judges then tastes both dishes and decides the winner, determining whether the contestant successfully beats Flay.
