Manifesting the existence of a direct-to-Redbox action movie from 2017 called Smoke Point, starring Bobby Flay as a lightly fictionalized version of himself. Tom Sizemore is also in it.

i have bobby flay on record telling me michael symon is the best food network athlete (non eddie jackson division) so i am humbling suggesting him

but also maneet

celebrityhottub.bsky.social•384 days ago

I see symon more as the grizzled mentor to the action hero but I'm down for it

martinrickman.bsky.social•384 days ago

one last job

kamper.bsky.social•384 days ago

We all agree Alton has the Lance Reddick Hotel Manager role?

martinrickman.bsky.social•384 days ago

if not him it’s icag

nwgeorge.bsky.social•383 days ago

Symon definitely has Kristofferson in Blade potential

tigervoice3.bsky.social•384 days ago

I need soul patch Tom Colicchio from early seasons of Top Chef as the evil mastermind.

dieseldog97.bsky.social•384 days ago

I’ve seen enough Cutthroat Kitchen to know Alton Brown would make an excellent villain.

britth.bsky.social•384 days ago

Antonia Lofaso could make me watch a bad action movie no questions asked

cjones47.bsky.social•384 days ago

Irvine would dominate everyone else on this list.

mcdecoste.bsky.social•384 days ago

Guy Fieri could play both the hero and the villain in the same movie.

tacook.bsky.social•383 days ago

It wouldn't be a bad action movie then

jdconnor.bsky.social•384 days ago

Turn his head around like a minifig with the shades on the back

mshopoff.bsky.social•384 days ago

I need them all methodically cleaning their kitchen knives after weaponizing them.

actioncookbook.com•384 days ago

Zakarian as the Terry Silver-esque villain

briesmith.xyz•384 days ago

Alton Brown is a fucking supervillain in waiting

flounder.bsky.social•384 days ago

In waiting?

jayrigdon.bsky.social•384 days ago

Scott Conant erasure (scenery chewing antagonist)

teamziller.bsky.social•383 days ago

Jeffrey erasure.

celebrityhottub.bsky.social•383 days ago

We're not trying to spoil everything in the trailer!

tgrunfit.bsky.social•384 days ago

Anne Burrell

celebrityhottub.bsky.social•384 days ago

oh yeah that's good

davidjroth.bsky.social•384 days ago

No wrong answers here but Robert Irvine is the one that most wants to do it.

garnede.bsky.social•383 days ago

I don’t know, I think Alton Brown would also relish the chance to play a villain.

mburchett.bsky.social•384 days ago

Giada De Laurentiis is the granddaughter of the best shitty action producer of all time.

If anything, the Food Network actually ruined this opportunity.

torqpenderloin.bsky.social•384 days ago

i'd be interested where bob flay is a john wick type and all the people he kills are the guest hosts who have tried to defeat him on beat bobby flay

greedymcdonuts.bsky.social•381 days ago

And its called Bobby Flays.

celebrityhottub.bsky.social•384 days ago

How has he not been in a single Expendables???

davidjroth.bsky.social•384 days ago

Screaming at his agent so hard that his t-shirt becomes entirely translucent.

briesmith.xyz•384 days ago

I don't know how Gail Kim lives with him

stubobnumbers.bsky.social•384 days ago

Oh man, Gail Kim. *sighs*

wattle.bsky.social•384 days ago

Alton Brown showing off the murderous multitasking capabilities of cookware

kuriva.im•384 days ago

Jet Tila shouting at his agent that he's not going to play the goddamn sidekick who knows martial arts

thechadindm.bsky.social•384 days ago

Are you sure he hasn't.....

wesbarton.bsky.social•384 days ago

Too tall to be in frame with Jason Statham and Jet Li

jamesobrien.bsky.social•384 days ago

The entirety of my Robert Irvine experience is his (surprisingly good) protein bar

someclevername.bsky.social•384 days ago

Alton Brown wants to be Q, there’s no doubt in my mind

hannibalv.bsky.social•384 days ago

Just to be clear:

That's James Bond's Q, not QAnon's Q, right?

someclevername.bsky.social•384 days ago

Yes the guy whose red beans and rice recipe has me pickling pork days in advance not the guys who thought a pizza restaurant was a site of bad things

coachfinstock.bsky.social•384 days ago

He absolutely would. I've known Robert for years; he would do it in a heartbeat. When I was editing Eater in Philly, Marc Vetri used to host this big celebrity chef event for Alex's Lemonade and all the Food Network people would come in for the weekend. That guy could party.

davidjroth.bsky.social•384 days ago

This is obviously not the place for it but I am ready for any Robert Irvine stories you've got. I guess Vetri, too, we still have the menu from the night we ate at Vetri in 2010 in our kitchen.

celebrityhottub.bsky.social•384 days ago

I like that you're saying this as though we're at a wake

davidjroth.bsky.social•384 days ago

This timeline is a place of respect. Which is why it'd be good to have dm's here.

topherceezy.bsky.social•384 days ago

I once saw Robert Irvine at a Waffle House in Gulf Shores, AL. Just sitting by himself enjoying the local fare.

coachfinstock.bsky.social•384 days ago

Was on the receiving end of a death threat because I reported on a chef cooking on camping equipment (propane tank, etc) because he didn't want to pay his gas bill and was illegally transporting booze over state lines.

coachfinstock.bsky.social•384 days ago

Oh man. I worked the restaurant beat in Philly for 10 years. Worked in kitchens for a decade before that. I have many, many stories. Got to party with Bourdain late night after drinks at Amis, another Vetri spot.

iommismom.bsky.social•384 days ago

Bourdain is one of the people I'd include on a fantasy dinner guest wish list. I hope you had a lovely time with him.

40goingon28.bsky.social•383 days ago

I am oddly fascinated by Irvine; I loved Restaurant Impossible and his whole schtick is great

anyfreshfry.bsky.social•384 days ago

Irvine is definitely the clear choice.

thecleric.bsky.social•384 days ago

Robert Irvine would be the Great Value Steven Seagal.

celebrityhottub.bsky.social•384 days ago

Flip that and you're correct

thechadindm.bsky.social•384 days ago

Off, off topic but stories about Segal in a MO dive bar getting choked out by old school wrastlers/stuntmen and shitting himself are legend.

thecleric.bsky.social•384 days ago

Trick answer; they’re both Great Value!

snowden.st•384 days ago

Robert Irvine is English Dave Bautista

byron2284.bsky.social•384 days ago

Too nitpicky to say that Padma is Bravo-gang, not Food Network?

tgrunfit.bsky.social•384 days ago

They seem to have combined factions of late — ton of Top Chefs on tournament of champions which used to not be allowed

byron2284.bsky.social•384 days ago

Totally fair. But has Padma ever made the leap?

spillygal.bsky.social•384 days ago

I don’t think she has, but she does have acting credits!

tgrunfit.bsky.social•383 days ago

She’s had shows on Hulu and the travel channel — wouldn’t be surprised if hosting TC had a non compete but that’s over now 👀

andybowen.bsky.social•383 days ago

Here is a clip from TNA wrestling when Robert Irvine got all tough guy on a pro wrestler from last year.

jserf.bsky.social•384 days ago

Oh Padma would kill some corny action movie one-liners

edarrell.bsky.social•384 days ago

Padma Lakshmi had a role in "Startrek: Enterprise" in a memorable (to me) episode. She can act.

daveheikkila.bsky.social•384 days ago

Low key I think Samuelsson might be the most fun

flounder.bsky.social•384 days ago

Ina Garten would be either the chief of the spy agency or the master villain.

thechadindm.bsky.social•384 days ago

Alex can do whatever she wants to do.

kerba1123.bsky.social•383 days ago

Alex Guarnaschelli is the housewife running a gun ring

okguyadam.bsky.social•384 days ago

ina garten and Jeffrey are the gang bosses

phillybri.gobirds.online•384 days ago

Get 5 more and call it The Delicious Dozen

ssddftp.bsky.social•384 days ago

Delicious Dozen 2: 2 Many Cooks
Delicious Dozen 3: Baker's Dozen

rorywrites.bsky.social•383 days ago

Trisha Yearwood could kick some butt.

laportereporte.bsky.social•384 days ago

I regret to inform you that Padma was in an episode of Enterprise

flounder.bsky.social•384 days ago

I have tried to scrub that episode from my mind.

terror-and-erebus.bsky.social•383 days ago

After watching 'Good Eats', Alton Brown gives me HUGE 'Q from James Bond' vibes.

mattrenninger.bsky.social•384 days ago

Maneet Chauain and Tiffany Faison in the scariest bad crew

chloedenmark.bsky.social•384 days ago

I have a story about the Drummond I’m not supposed to know but let’s just say yes. So long as it takes place in. Remote farming community.

celebrityhottub.bsky.social•384 days ago

Her husband is my top pick for "person who is on TV but really doesn't want to be"

confusatron.bsky.social•384 days ago

Marcus Samuelsson and Masaharu Morimoto buddy action flick

mosasaurologist.bsky.social•384 days ago

Ralph from cake boss just itching to get his hands on plastic explosives

jodyshenn.bsky.social•384 days ago

You’re running Alton on villian side, yeah?

thatshaggymatt.quepossums.fyi•384 days ago

Alex Guarnaschelli would be a hell of a sidekick.
