* Season Six, Episode Four: Bobby Flay versus the [[SiblingTeam Rathbun Brothers]] in ''Battle Elk''. At first glance, the battle looks to be in Flay's favor (his Southwestern approach working well with proteins like venison), but Elk is the second largest member of the Deer family (and one of the largest land mammals in North America period) and the chefs are told to nab whole sides of venison to take to their stations. Flay is completely unable to take a side of Elk by himself and requires the help of his sous chef, while [[LargeAndInCharge each of the Rathbun's]] tosses a hunk of meat over their shoulders alone and casually walks it over to their side.
--> '''Flay''': The Rathbun brothers could basically be tag team members of the [[Wrestling/{{WWE}} World Wrestling Federation]]. I mean, they're ''huge'' guys. And then there's me, who has the challenge of even getting the meat to the table.
** Even better? Alton Brown's commentary throws constant shade at Flay for being unable to even ''lift'' his hunk of elk by himself.
--> '''Alton''': And ''Battle Elk'' is on here in Kitchen Stadium. This is, of course, the second largest deer variety in the world after the Moose, which is why it takes a couple of guys to haul this stuff around... unless, of course, you're Kent Rathbun, who seems to be handling his Elk with ease.
** And it keeps getting worse as the battle goes on. Flay is exhausted by the time his side is able to bring the slabs of Elk to the station and he's completely unable to lift a smaller chunk by himself... while one of the Rathbun brothers is shown manhandling a slab between stations on-camera shortly afterwards.
--> '''Alton''': Over on the Rathbun side—''(cut to Kent Rathbun swing a slab of Elk over his arm and moving it to a cutting board)''—Kent doing some heavy lifting, and Bobby—''(cut to Bobby Flay uselessly struggling to lift his slab)''—clearly, well, he spends more time in the kitchen than the gym.

* When an Iron Chef gets an ingredient he's not fond of, he'll express it in various ways. Notable examples are Chen's facial expressions (especially in Battle Yogurt) and Sakai's verbal complaints ''while gathering the ingredient'' (Battle Lotus Root against Kandagawa is a prime example). The Japanese Iron Chefs often save their complaints for the commentary.
