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).

We’ll all be done with all this fun
Writing Flay rhymes for burgers and buns.
We’ve taken our time
To produce the sublime.
Now Bobby will decide who has won.
My husband and I can get on with life.
Our daughter no longer will have strife.
We’ve all had fun,
Laughed to the bathroom run.
Bobby’s the chef who holds the knife.
That poor Top Chef Bobby “Bo” Flay,
Has me limited to one limerick a day.
The more that I think,
The less that I stink,
Now I’ll go outside and play.
That Bobby he’s the Master Griller
Prime beef – he uses no filler
Eating his treats
Made of spiced meat
When done you’ll beg for a chiller
Bobby is a burger man,
his patties are o’ so grand!
With cheese that is gooey,
lip-smackin’ and ooey.
They even make Emeril shout, “BAM!”
There once was a redhead named Flay
On the grill he would play everyday
He used chips to add crunch
For a burger with punch
Now I only will eat them that way!
Miami…or Napa… Oh! Dallas, I think
Well-done or medium with an inside that’s pink,
Add some pickles and fries
My stomach’s fooled by my eyes
But what the heck! No calories! (Wink Wink!)
Thank you FN for all of the fun.
We’ve played the game and had a good run.
It’s Bobby’s last wish
That we should finish.
Flay’s burgers have certainly won!
Oh, There once was a guy with a look
Heaven knows, that this bad boy could cook
Yet his Burgers and Fries
They will be my demise
If I cook everything in his book.
There is a gentleman named Flay
Who prefers a crunch burger his way.
“Melt the cheese completely!”
Add a shake neatly
And fries to brighten your day!
To Food Network’s contest, what can I say
Soon someone’s bound to challenge Bobby Flay
For his yummy burger cuisine
So viewers watch your tv screen
It’ll be an exciting throwdown day.
