Hattie's is a classic Southern style restaurant in Saratoga Springs. It is probably the Boy's favorite place in the world, and in the top 10 for me as well. For upstate NY, they make untouchable fried chicken.
So of course it's unsurprising that Hattie's head chef Jasper caught the eye of Food Network's resident rooster: Bobby Flay. Flay has a show, Throwdown, where he attempts to use his trademark arrogance to his advantage: he claims he can make your signature dish better than you. I guess he's okay profiting from marketing himself as the cocky villain. Of course he occasionally wins (they pull in local "experts" to choose the better version) but mostly he loses. Squared off against Hattie's fried chicken, he never had a shot.
The show will air January 24th on the Food Network. But I don't have to wait that long -- we'll be at Hattie's this weekend!
