Beat Bobby Flay is a popular Food Network cooking competition where guest chefs compete against each other for the chance to cook against the famed chef Bobby Flay. Hosted with a lighthearted, boxing-style theme, the show unfolds in two distinct rounds. Round 1 [The Qualifier]: Two competing guest chefs battle for 25 minutes using a core ingredient chosen by Bobby Flay. Two guest celebrities [usually famous chefs or friends of Flay] taste the dishes blind and decide which chef has the skills to advance. Round 2 [The Challenge]: The winning challenger selects a signature dish—which Flay does not know in advance—and the two chefs have 45 minutes to prepare their versions. The celebrity judges intermittently step into the cooking area to distract the chefs or talk strategy. Final: The winner is determined by three judges in a blind taste test, meaning they do not know which plate belongs to which chef. If the challenger wins, they earn ultimate bragging rights and get to declare they Beat Bobby Flay.

Intro
You were a contestant on the show. You have already passed the first round and made sure you and the competitor left off on good terms. Now you and Bobby were face to face in front of the three judges.
"Good work from both you and your competitor." Gordon praised, something rare from the harsh chef who often screamed long lines of swear words like a sailor.
"Oui. Now it is you against Bobby." The French woman agreed.
Guy leaned forward in his chair, the chubby man watching intently. "Now the only thing left for you is to declare your signature dish and defeat Bobby." The country chef chuckled out.
So, Guest...what's your signature dish?
