Phils Fish Market in Moss Landing, Ca. is SO GOOD!!! The fish is always fresh, and their clam chowder, and calamari are the best I've ever had!!!!!

I use crab butter from the Dungeness crab to create my broth. I think the crab is what makes it authentic?

I have zero doubt that John Pisto and Phil are very good buddies. They are probably the 2 most famous restaurant owners in Monterey Co. A little bit of bias, since Pisto is more in the steak business now while Phil is the king of seafood. Pisto wouldn't rule against is pal or he might see a horse's head in his bed the next day.

Phil's is so much more than JUST the ciioppino (which I never get because they refuse to crack my seafood that needs cracking.).Just a simple grilled swordfish steak with a huge salad and delicious garlic bread is all I need.

I think Phil has it in spades, not that I have tasted his verses Bobby's, but you have to stick with the original. If Bobby came in with his lobster stuff, it would have been hands down the left coast original. Yes Italian's love sardines, but you can't beat the original of nearly anything, anywhere. Nice try Bobby, stick to New England Clam Chowder, even though New York is not part of New England. New England makes the original Clam Chowder, let them do it. Allow San Franciscan's and those who originated cioppino to make it. You can't beat Cowboy cooking like Kent Rollins, and you can't beat real Italian cioppino San Francisco style.

111% agree. This is a regional dish than can never be replicated by a New Yorker at the other end of the nation who doesn't have access to the high- quality seafood (better than anywhere in the word) that Northern California has, along with the broth recipes that have been handed down for decades ad decades. It must be said that Phil's Seafood is MORE than just his cioppino. Just a wood grilled salmon, yellow rice, a big salad and Phil's great garlic bread is better than any seafood platter I've had outside of Northern California. I mean, I would never expect to have Gumbo in Fresno as good as it is New Orleans. A REGION is a huge factor in a dish's authenticity & tastiness.

@MrPlanx I think it's normal for him to lose when it's the other person's specialty he's trying to master. I highly highly doubt you could find anyone who would have a good chance at beating him at one of HIS signature dishes. So I think him winning even just a few is a miracle and show his proficiency. Heck, most of the battles are extremely close, so I don't think Bobby has anything to be humiliated about.

Truth is, I never saw an episode of this show that Flay won, although I am told he did win some. If they gave Flay something like "the ultimate hamburger," I'd give him a good chance, but they often sent him to areas of the country like Moss Landing, CA, where he is totally out of his league. Phil has direct access to the best cioppino seafood in the world and access to the finest chefs from multiple cultures when it comes to making an elite cioppino broth (which is better than the seafood, to be honest). Cioppino is a local dish that, like the Philly Cheesesteak or seafood gumbo, cannot be authentically created NOWHERE but in the area in which it was originally created. It has to do with local ingredients AND culture. It's part of what makes the United States GREAT - that you must travel to Philly to get a REAL Philly cheesesteak. Nowhere else can you get THAT BREAD but in Philly. Unless Flay lived in a place like San Francisco for a year, I would not give him a chance of winning a cioppino contest against anyone in the No Cal area unless he were battling a poor man's food cart or something. Authenticity does matter because it reflects local ingredients and local cultures that go into making a delicacy that is very regional to its area. Anyone who says otherwise are politically correct foodie snobs. Culture and region MATTERS, and fooling with a master dish that is made outside your area because you do not have those ingredients or culture, and then calling it "authentic," is just disrespectful. That being said, Flay is just collecting a paycheck, but the FN folks should know better. Match him with chefs that create things like hamburgers.

@@MattSmith-iq1ld Dang, this is an OLD comment of mine you responded to, lol. Yes, when you're dealing with regional specialties, whether in this country or any other, there's not a lot of room for deviation if you want to stay truly authentic. Think of Italian food...much of what we label as being Italian food in the US is actually Italian-American fusion rather than truly authentic Italian. Yes, you can find truly authentic Italian in the US, but it's the exception rather than the rule. And that's just one example.

As much as I understand where Matt's coming from in terms of regional classics that can't be topped and as much as I agree with him, I do not think it was Flay's intention to topple those signature dishes with his own. Although I did watch Throwdown to watch him lose, there were times he did actually win, AND there were times when even though he did lose, he really brought his A-game with him. But also in a way, even if the restaurants and chefs were well-recognized, Throwdown was a good way for Bobby to not just give a challenge, but also, like Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives or any traveling food show, to put the restaurants on the map for anybody who may potentially have never heard of them before. So in some retrospect, you've got to give Bobby credit in those regards

Agreed, but Flay is wasting his time. Phil's is the 10x better than any seafood restaurant I have ever been to in terms of flavor and price. I have visited or resided in a number of cities where their seafood is super well regarded. It doesn't match Phil's. And believe me, San Francisco is damn good.

Nope - Spoken like someone who has never eaten seafood in Northern Cal. Phil in Moss Landing is considered one of the greatest chefs in Monterey Co., and his cioppino is considered one of the greatest in the world. He ships to even the Mediterranean. Monterey Co., whose economic base are its restaurants and food, is top notch. No one except San Francisco will come within 50 gazillion miles of matching it, and even then, I would choose Phil's because his cuisine is cheaper than some stuffy, super expensive San Francisco seafood joint on the wharf.

Not when it comes to a REGIONAL dish Orlando like cioppino. As a New Yorker at the other end of the country, Flay doesn't have access to the finest cioppino seafood in the country. Nor does he have access to the decades and decades of cioppino broth secret recipes that have been handed down thru a large group of cultures. You cannot get that in NYC. I have visited or resided in a number of towns and cities that are known for their seafood eateries, and Phil's is by far the finest in terms of price, tastiness, and YES, authenticity. His great food goes beyond his WORLD FAMOUS cioppino, which gets shipped to even places like Sicily and Italy. I probably would have liked Bobby's cioppino, but it is not REAL cioppino that had had innumerable decades of tradition. As I always say, I would never expect a town like Fresno to have a single eatery that serves seafood gumbo like it is serve in New Orleans. You just cannot take a regional dish out of its area, period. Call Flay's thing seafood stew or something, but it is not cioppino, I am sorry. It's like serving a NY steak and calling it a Lobster tail. Both are tasty dishes, but they ARE NOT the same thing.

Incorrect. Not when it comes to a REGIONAL dish wlhardy like cioppino. This area of this country PRIDES itself on this dish. It's OUR creation. It is NO ONE else's dish but ours. Not Italy's dish or NYC's meal. As a New Yorker at the other end of the country, Flay doesn't have access to the finest cioppino seafood in the country. Nor does he have access to the decades and decades of cioppino broth secret recipes that have been handed down thru a large group of cultures. You cannot get that in NYC.

As I always say, I would never expect a town like Fresno to have a single eatery that serves seafood gumbo like it is served in New Orleans. That is a REGIONAL dish with sacred traditions. To say otherwise is an outright insult to the master chefs of the past who have created it. And those "new" chefs who create something new - that's great - but call it something other than cioppino. . You just cannot take a regional dish out of its area, period. Call Flay's thing seafood stew or something, but it is not cioppino, I am sorry. It's like serving a NY steak and calling it a Lobster tail. Both are tasty dishes, but they ARE NOT the same thing.
