In season 2 episode 6 of Brunch @ Bobby's, titled "Grilling With a Spanish Flair," celebrity chef Bobby Flay is inspired by the flavors of Spain as he prepares brunch dishes on the grill.
The episode begins with Bobby highlighting the beauty of outdoor cooking, noting that grilling is the perfect way to enjoy a relaxing brunch with friends and family. He introduces the Spanish-inspired menu for the day, which includes dishes like Huevos a la Flamenca, a classic Spanish egg dish with tomatoes and onions, and Grilled Chorizo with Chimichurri, a spicy sausage served with a tangy herb sauce.
For the main course, Bobby prepares two dishes: Grilled Saffron Chicken Paella and Grilled Lobster Tails with Romesco Sauce. He shows viewers how to make the paella from scratch, from toasting the rice to layering in the flavors of saffron, peppers, and chorizo. The lobster tails, he explains, are brushed with olive oil and salt before being grilled to perfection and served with the traditional Spanish sauce made from almonds, red peppers, and garlic.
Throughout the episode, Bobby emphasizes the importance of quality ingredients, using fresh and seasonal produce like tomatoes, peppers, and herbs to elevate the flavors of each dish. He also shares useful tips on how to grill different meats and vegetables, such as cooking chicken skin-side down first to ensure a crispy texture and using a grill basket for delicate vegetables like asparagus.
As the brunch comes together, Bobby invites his guests to join him at the outdoor table, and they toast with glasses of sangria, a refreshing Spanish wine cocktail. The dishes are served family-style, with the colorful paella and lobster tails stealing the show.
In the closing scene, Bobby reflects on his love for Spanish cuisine and the versatility of grilling, encouraging viewers to try their own Spanish-inspired brunch at home. With its vibrant colors, bold flavors, and relaxed atmosphere, "Grilling With a Spanish Flair" is a feast for the senses and a perfect way to kickstart a lazy weekend morning.
