Michael Psilakis built his career on Greek food — Kefi, MP Taverna, a James Beard Best Chef NYC nomination — and then walked into Bobby Flay's kitchen and chose Italian. Lamb risotto, specifically. The most exposing rice dish in the canon, with the most exposing protein on it.
Risotto is timing. Lamb is fat content. Get either wrong and the dish reads as either soup with meat or rice with grease. Psilakis is a chef whose entire training is in moving between Mediterranean cuisines without losing the technical line. The risotto was al dente. The lamb was rendered. The fat was incorporated, not pooled.
Bobby's, per the room, pooled.
