Doofy or Foody

As inspired by the brilliant critics at "Go Fug Yourself", I have created a new column for my blog. Instead of doing "Fab or Fug" I have created....dum, dum, dum, "Doofy or Foody". The "doofs" in this instance are those celebrity chefs who don't come across as very food-intellectual. The "foodys" are those who really are inspired by food and pursue their love by creating fantastic dishes. This week we have two people, one is a doof and the other is a foody....

MICHAEL SYMON vs. BOBBY FLAY

Michael Symon: Iron Chef Participant

Symon is a proclaimed chef who won an Iron Chef spot in 2007. He was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio and now owns multiple restaurants, one of which is named "The B Spot" which is a nifty burger and bratwurst joint. So, is he foody or doofy? In my honest opinion, and the opinion of my younger sister who is co-writing this post, he is doofy. His food seems too normal and he acts sort of cocky and goofy on television. And for your information Michael, getting a tattoo of your favorite meat (pork) on your chest isn't attractive, (refer to the picture below... enough said.)

Bobby Flay: Iron Chef Participant, Owner of Mesa Grill, "Throwdown with Bobby Flay"

Flay is an accomplished chef who creates unique southwestern flavors at a gourmet level. His resume is complete with TV shows, successful restaurants and most importantly an Iron Chef position. He competes against tough competitors such as Marcus Samuelsson (winner of Top Chef Masters) and serves for a panel of judges whose collective calliber could reach the moon. And for those who watch Iron Chef notice that most of the time Flay gets chosen over every other Iron Chef, including Symon, and wins. 

Isn't he just adorable. 

Given the facts about each chef, I think we now know who is DOOFY and who is FOODY

The DOOFY award goes to...Michael Symon

and the FOODY award goes to...Bobby Flay (congrats)
