-We're here with Bobby flay, everybody!
[ Cheers and applause ]
His 15th cookbook, "Bobby at Home:
Fearless Flavors from My Kitchen," is available now.
Thank you so much for being here.
-So glad to be here.
-And can we start with some alcohol?
-Yes. Would you like salt or not salt?
-I would like some salt on the rim of my margarita.
-You've got it. -Thank you very much.
-Cheers. -Cheers to you.
And...
-Thank you. Good night.
-That was very good. I'll take it.
So, these are from your cookbook.
These are sort of some good snacks for football season.
-Exactly. I know you're a Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
-I am. -I'm a Giant fan.
We both have new quarterbacks. Let's hope for the best.
-We're being optimistic. -Exactly.
-Yes.
-So, these are actually two dishes from my book.
So, one of them is pimento cheese,
which is a Southern specialty.
-Great.
-So, we have white and yellow cheddar.
You want to grate some -- -Yeah, just grate it?
Sure. Yeah. -On the big side. Exactly.
-Okay. -I'm gonna do this with you.
-Okay. -Okay?
So, you want to grate the cheese.
-Uh-huh.
-And then we're going add a little bit of
mayonnaise, some cayenne pepper, and then some salt and pepper.
-Okay. Two kinds of cheeses here?
-Exactly. Just white and yellow. -Yeah, great. Why not?
Let's have fun. -And this is what it looks like.
And here's a recipe that you can definitely do.
You take some of these crackers out of the box.
And then you just brush them with a little bit of butter.
A little bit of butter and some fresh herbs.
And then you just use these as sort of the snack for the --
-Great. So this is just --
And so this is just cheese and pimentos, right?
-Yeah, cheese, pimentos, little bit of mayonnaise.
It's very low in fat. You're going to love it.
Okay. Let's make a classic guacamole,
'cause everybody always wants to know how to make guacamole.
-Right. -Right?
Okay, so, we got some avocado.
-Do you feel most people make bad guacamole?
When you're at a party,
are you more often than not underwhelmed?
-Yes. Well, I wouldn't say I'm under--
Well, I didn't really say that.
-So, these are your friends.
These are people who invited you into their home.
You're thinking about them. -Yes. Correct.
They usually ordered it in. -Right.
-But what I do is -- I like a chunky guacamole.
-Right. -You're done cooking, obviously.
-Yeah, I'm gonna watch you.
-All right, so, I'm going to do this for you.
So, we have an avocado.
And I'll just show you how to
open up an avocado really quickly.
Just go like this. You turn it around like this.
-I think you think I'm very remedial.
-No, no, no. Not at all.
-You did beat me on my show, "Beat Bobby Flay."
-I was on "Beat Bobby Flay."
Thank you so much for having me on.
-Of course. -And, yeah, it was --
[ Cheers and applause ] -You were so happy to win.
-Oh, I was thrilled to win. -You were so thrilled to win.
-It was an away game. I beat you on your turf.
-That's true. Exactly.
But I knew if I won, I wasn't going to get
the invite to this show.
-This is the consolation for you.
You have a show -- this is very cool -- with your daughter.
-Yeah, with Sophie. It's called "The Flay List."
-And this is -- You guys just go to restaurants you like.
-Yeah, we go and eat and they shoot it
and then we air it and that's it.
-What a scam! -I know. It's amazing.
Plus, I have to get her a paycheck.
She just graduated college. -Very nice of you. Yeah.
Alright, so, you just put in some --
-Oh, yeah. Back to the avocado. -Yeah.
-So, it's avocados, some green chilies like jalapeños,
cilantro, a little bit of red onion,
and, of course, some lime juice.
-Great. -You like the pimento cheese.
-Uh-huh. -Salt and pepper.
And here's the deal, alright?
You just want to make sure that you mix all of it once
so it stays nice and chunky.
The one thing I don't like is really pureed guacamole.
-Gotcha. -You want texture to it.
-Okay. -You taking notes on this?
-Yeah, chunky. -Okay. Alright, cool.
-You made it very easy. You're like, "Stir it once."
Alright.
-That's what it's all about -- "Bobby at Home."
-Alright. -Alright, here you go.
Take some chips. -All right. There we go.
-Guacamole it up. -Okay.
-Pour yourself another margarita and --
-[ Mumbles ]
Tell me about this app, the Food Network app.
-Oh. It's actually just launched.
It's called Food Network in the Kitchen.

So, like, you tune in, and we'll --
You and I will cook together and we'll make guacamole,
you know, live, and you can follow along.
-I might just watch, if that's cool.
-Yeah. -I'll just be like...
I do like how this has gone, with me being less active.
-Yes, exactly.
But I'm going to get you a free subscription to the app,
so you're totally --
-But this is a way to, like -- If people are
intimidated by cooking, they can sort of have you on the screen
and kind of go along with you and do it as they go.
-Exactly right. -That's fantastic.
-Should we give everybody in the audience a free subscription?
-Yeah, let's do it. -Absolutely.
[ Cheers and applause ] -There you go. Look at you.
You know how to close out a segment.
-I know how to give away Food Network's money.
-You got your own show, I can tell.
Give it up for Bobby Flay, everybody.
