PrintDessert Truck Throwing Down in Union Square Right Now
Based on this account from the scene (complete with side by side trucks ready to do battle) it appears as if the Dessert Truck's Food Network thing being taped in Union Square today from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. is indeed a Throwdown with Bobby Flay. Although we're hearing now that the second truck was actually a Red Hook ball field vendor truck, and it has left the park. Perhaps it was supposed to be some kind of decoy? Kind of funny that it just served to increase the Throwdown speculation. Based on intel gathered by Life Vicarious, we're still convinced it's a Throwdown. It's been confirmed. Bobby Flay has entered the park. Let the Throwdown begin. Our man Gordon Mark is on the scene now as part of the audience, and will have a full report tomorrow morning (barring any serious non-disclosure agreement he will be forced to sign!)
You can (hopefully) congratulate the Dessert Truck tonight after 8 p.m. at their normal nighttime spot on 3rd Avenue and St. Marks, or tomorrow in Midtown on 52nd Street and Park Avenue.

I physically cannot wait for this update. I hope, and believe in my heart of hearts, that the DT will school Bobby Flay. I love seeing him lose, almost as much as I love the Dessert Truck.

Bobby actually did a great job. It's funny to see him lose but this one is going to be tough...

Thanks to this post I was able to get over there and have a front-row view of the entire thing. What impressed me most was the producer and the crew. Everything happened at a sufficiently brisk pace that seeing it in person was surprisingly like watching a finished, edited episode...even allowing for lines that had to be repeated and shots that needed reshooting. Considering the eager crowd (half of whom had no awareness of the show or who Bobby Flay was) plus the Union Square traffic and construction going on half a block to the south, their efficiency without ever being obnoxious about it was no small feat.
Plus it's got to be the only time in my life I'll ever be handed a free dessert cooked by Bobby Flay, so many thanks for that!

Boo-yea! I can't wait to see this one. I have to admit, I adore that show.
