Did Driskill Grills David Bull and crew best Bobby Flay on Iron Chef America?
Last January, Austin chef David Bull rode into New York City without swagger or boots to take on Bobby Flay, one of the Food Network’s “Iron Chef” superstars. Bull, the 31-year-old upstart, had his two sidekicks (an über-tight team of assistant chefs), plenty of confidence and three half-gallon bags of wild boar stock. In the kitchen stadium of “Iron Chef America,” Bull and Flay battled with knives, saucepans and pressure cookers for an hour. Cooking on fast-forward speed, they each had 60 minutes to prepare five different plates featuring a secret ingredient. Sunday night the outcome of this battle, taped eight months ago, will be shown on the Food Network and Austin will learn if Bull, the executive chef for the Driskill Hotel, whipped up on Flay. Or did the “Iron Chef” regular, the founder of Mesa Grill and star of multiple food television shows, prevail over the challenger?
