Bobby Flay Quizdown — Contest! by FN Dish Editor in View All Posts, June 29th, 2009
CONTEST!
Submissions are now closed! Three winners will be chosen by our Food Network limerick experts this week and notified by email. Check back on The FN Dish to see the winning limericks later in the week.
*****
We’re giving away THREE autographed copies of Bobby Flay’s new book, Burgers, Fries & Shakes. To WIN, create an original limerick with the subject either about Bobby Flay or burgers.
What is a limerick, you ask? A limerick is a five-line poem with an AABBA rhyming pattern. Here’s an example to get your juices flowing:
There once was a cow named “Fate”
The laziest in all of upstate.
She only ate grass
And passed lots of gas.
Now, she lays on my plate
(By entering a comment, you agree to these contest rules).

That Bobby he does love the Pepper
On your skin you’ll feel like a Leper
But skilled with the heat
His food can’t be beat
With a drink you won’t be a sipper
An intrepid young chef named Flay,
In Kitchen Stadium he does play,
When this boy met his grill,
It was such a big thrill,
Now he cooks on t.v. all day.
“I’ve watched every episode of The Next Food Network Star and I think this competition is great. However, I don’t think it is fair at this point in the competition to make them work together in pairs and get judged on how they work together. You are only going to give a new show to one person, so….. only fair to make them compete one-on-one.”
It's been fun entering limericks for Bobby
Because writing this verse is my hobby.
Now the challenge has ended.
I hope no one's offended
If for more limerick contests I lobby!
For some reason I thought this contest ended on the 9th, until I rechecked the rules this morning. I still have a few limericks left, so here they are, just for fun:
Bobby Flay has just published a book
That will help us improve how we cook
All our burgers and fries.
Here’s word to the wise –
You must certainly give it a look!
The cow population’s in fear
When Chef Bobby Flay comes too near.
They all shake like a leaf
When he hankers for beef.
Soon their flanks could be braising in beer!
As a chef Bobby Flay is untiring
And his food is quite truly inspiring.
All his fans express wishes
To prepare his great dishes,
So his new book they will be desiring.
I have a good friend who’s a cow.
She said to me “I don’t know how
I can get through each day
When I know Bobby Flay
Is focused on hamburgers now!”
Seriously, I just wanted to thank you again for this contest, Food Network. I think the limerick is an underappreciated art form — most people turn and run the other way when they hear one coming! You all are great — or just gluttons for punishment!
A 3rd generation Irishman
Now a successful American
Wows us with grillin’
To watch him is thrillin’
I am his forever fan!
Still waiting to see who the winners are.
I was wondering where the results are for the winners? Thanks. :-)
