What to Watch: Bobby’s Dinner Battle by Maria Russo in Shows, January 15th, 2013
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed at the prospect of entertaining a houseful of party guests or cooking a meal for your opinionated relatives, then you can begin to imagine the pressure under which home cooks find themselves on Bobby’s Dinner Battle, Bobby Flay‘s newest show that challenges three teams of home cooks to prepare three-course dinner parties for this professional chef and restaurateur. Although they don’t have formal culinary training, the contestants are not simply kitchen novices. They consider themselves to be some of the best home cooks in their area and pride themselves on their ability to craft full-flavored, restaurant-quality meals using advanced techniques in their kitchens at home.
Each week, Bobby will travel to a different city where new groups of home cooks must put their best culinary chops forward in themed challenges to create event menus with limited time and money. Bobby will be joined by a special guest in each city, and these esteemed dinner party guests will help judge the competitors on the taste and presentation of their offerings, plus how well they’ve embraced the given theme.
Tune in to the series premiere of Bobby’s Dinner Battle on Wednesday, Jan. 16, at 10pm/9c.

who won the dinner battle on Sunday's episode Jan. 27. Got a phone call and missed the winner. Someone please tell me
I personally love to watch a show that profiles REAL people…not all culinary experts! I live my life cooking for my family and I am proud to say it's what makes me very happy!! Thank you, Bobby Flay for relating to us "average folk"! If you choose to come to the Hoosier State….we will make it worth your while!! Until then, we will keep watching……
I really enjoy Bobby's Dinner Battle because it's real people like us!
Come to Houston, Texas!!! I want IN !!!
At first this show was interesting but tonight we are done with this show. This isn't about home cooks as much as it is about can you cook like real chef's with special requests (e.g.lactose intolerant or "vegetarian")? Come on people. And then there's the "chopped" ingredient brought in half way through the program where you have to incorporate a secret ingredient!! This is not what I want to watch. We want to see what they CAN cook rather than what they CAN"T cook.
I also would like to apply to be cast. looks like fun
My husband and I would love to be on your show. My husband is from India and we both love to cook. It is so much fun to combine his East Asian cooking with my American. We have very different cuisines at our table- very different than others we know.
