Review of Bobby Flay’s Bolo

I hate Bobby Flay. I hate his TV show. I hate the way he makes fun of his co-hosts. I hate how he dumps a pound of ancho chili pepper on things. Which is why this review of his new restaurant is outstanding.

Meanwhile, the lamb tenderloin consists of four nickel-sized pieces, none of which seems to bear the haziest connection to the late animal for which it is named. Artichoke heart with quail eggs and salmon caviar is, alas, a glutinous mess. Suggestion for the full appetizer of grilled octopus: more chillin’ and less grillin’. It is badly overcooked. And saying that the shrimp with white bean vinaigrette tastes like cardboard would be an insult to cardboard everywhere.
