Hey Adam,

I’m one of the owners of Papalote. Hi. The thing about our concept of grilled-to-order meat is that when you walk into the shop none of the grilling meats are cooked. Our 4 oz cut of chicken or beef that we grill in front of you yields a burrito, or a quesadilla or two tacos. It’s that simple. If we were a scoop’em up shop (and I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with scoop’em up shops) then the portions wouldn’t be an issue. Thanks.

Victor

All of you guys are idiots- no, rather imbeciles. Bobby Flay is a god when it comes to cooking, grilling or anything that has to do with putting food in your slimy little stomachs. Get off the “never graduated from H.S.” B.S. because he’s making more money than all of us and laughing all the way to the bank! He’s wonderful!

Maybe it’s time for you to re-evaluate your talent as a writer of ironic provocateurism, no?

My post was intentionally full of biased, irreverent trash talking which is in the spirit of trash talking. I guess I did a bad job so many people missed the point and rushed to his defense. Anyway, I really do apologize if you found it offensive. It wasn’t my intention; I was just trying to stir up some home-town pride.

Of course it doesn’t matter in this context that Bobby Flay dropped out of school, that he jumped on a cutting board, or that he might be sketchy with his employees. It’s obvious that he’s a damn fine chef and he’s accomplished a lot.

It’s also completely untrue that he strangles Target models, but no one seemed to take issue with that.

BTW, in case anyone actually cares about the result, Miguel Escobido WON!

Sure, if your idea of Mexican food involves french fries.

The SF Mission burrito is the savory zenith of Americanized Mexican food. Papalote is decidedly not its fittest representative, but let’s look back a second at the results of the last time some New Joker tried to emulate it: Chipotle Mexican Grill.

SF Mission = burrito heaven. San Diego can only pretend to know different, and LA doesn’t even try. Just try to count the joints on burritophile and compare rankings. SoCal’s fine and everything, I’m no chauvinist, but the Mexican food in the Bay is simply incredible by comparison.

Fuck you. What does it matter whether the guy graduated high school? The list of successful game changers who never graduated high school is pretty long. And if everybody just followed recipes for traditional food you wouldn’t have burritos, Asian fusion or many other innovative foods. However, if he really is ripping off his employees that’s not cool.

Grow up.

I’ve never even heard of bobby flay, but so what if he never finished high school. what could he have learned in that final year anyway? how to go to prom? YOU apparently did go to high school and yet you waste your time watching a lame cooking show? At least he’s getting paid! Seems he learned more out of school than you did in.
