An article on Vanity Fair by Allen Salkin revealed that when filming Iron Chef Showdown this summer, Bobby Flay "tore off his apron mid-battle to reveal a T-shirt that read: “THIS IS MY LAST IRON CHEF BATTLE EVER.” Looking at the picture above from the show, he has a lot of buttons to deal with to get to the T-shirt. Bobby Flay supposedly chose the T-shirt rather than a verbal message as he knew production would not be able to cut that from the show. The article said the production has plans to blur the shirt out when the episode airs, but the decision to blur the shirt wasn't final. This doesn't mean Bobby Flay is done with Food Network overall as he is still involved with things such as The Bobby and Damaris Show and Food Network Star.
According to the Iron Chef Showdown schedule, Bobby Flay is scheduled to be on the November 8th episode and the December 13th episode. So if this T-shirt thing is true, I would expect it to be on the December 13th episode of Iron Chef Showdown. I guess we will have to tune in to see what Food Network decides to do about the shirt.
