Bobby Flay is a bit of a food dork, but I love his Throwdowns on the Food Network. And he, along with his trusted helpers Stephanie Banyas (Bobby's business assistant and a graduate of the French Culinary Institute) and Miriam Garron (a graduate of Peter Kump's Institute of Culinary Education) really crank out some AWESOME food.
His recipe for spaghetti and meatballs from the Meatballs Throwdown is absolutely the best I have ever eaten anywhere! Throw in an Italian sausage or three with the meatballs, and it gets even better.
The Throwdown judges thought this was a bit spicy and loved it. If you are a spice wimp, just cut back some on the crushed red pepper.
Bobby Flay lost this throwdown. His opponent, Mike Maroni and his Grandma Maronis Meatballs 100 Year Old Recipe and his sauce must be pretty passable too.
