Bobby Flay attempted to take his online feud with Gordon Ramsay and turn it into a healthy competition for a good cause, but he was foiled by the cantankerous chef. While he shared with Eater Las Vegas that their rift was “mostly in good fun,” he added, “I thought it was a little bit of a cheap shot.” Flay revealed that he suggested to Ramsay that they set up two cooking stations outside of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and compete to make money for their charity of choice. “I think the ‘Iron Chef’ people reached out to Gordon and he wasn’t interested. It’s all right. He’s got his own thing going on,” Flay stated.
However, in 2018, Ramsay shared on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” that it was Flay who was holding up the competition. Of course, he couldn’t help but throw a little shade first and ranked Flay last amongst fellow chefs Wolfgang Puck and Jamie Oliver. His reason was, “For the last five years, we’ve been trying to do this cook-off together in Vegas for charity. And he won’t sign the f**king contract. Now Bobby, sign the contract, you limp d**k!” According to Flay, he’s still waiting for the green light from Ramsay’s team and is so amped up that he’s even willing to do the cook-off for no pay.
