I'm the first to admit that I am NOT a Bobby Flay fan. I remember watching an episode of the original Iron Chef - Bobby Flay was competing against Morimoto. Flay won, but he was a total jerk about it. Since then, I've not been a fan.
However, only a fool would ignore his amazing talent. And since I'm not (usually) a fool, I tried his fried artichoke with lemon aioli recipe. The result was amazing...
Artichokes are great, but they are a LOT of work...from the prep work to the storage (artichokes are kind of like apples - they go brown when exposed to air, so they need to be soaked in lemon water). But the end result is totally worth it.
