Tonight: Iron Chef & Icy Treats

13 August 2008 | 3:30 pm
Author: Morgan Levy

Take a break from the Olympics tonight, and tune into a different type of competitive sport: Competitive popsicle making. You may remember late last year, when reports filtered in that the ladies of Las Paletas had been tricked into a Throwdown with Iron Chef Bobby Flay. They’ve kept quiet on who won, but we can’t imagine anyone (no, not even an Iron Chef) making a better popsicle than Las Paletas. The show was taped in November, and we’ve been kept in the dark until now – the show airs tonight at 8pm, and Las Paletas is hosting an outdoor screening in their parking lot off 12th South. Hey, we’ll be there, if only for the opportunity to get paletas after 7pm!

    Holy crap. I bet that will be awesome.
    The previous post about the new frozen yogurt place kinda got me wondering why Nashvillest hadn’t talked about Paletas. Now I wish I had cable… AND Paletas!

    @Jordan – You too can watch, even though you’re not in Nashville!

    As for not writing about Las Paletas… just waiting for the right opportunity, since they’ve been around for awhile. We loooooove them.

    The girl in the picture wearing the black dress is hot!

    The “corn” paleta was ah-mazing. That’s right I said “corn” popsicle.

    I’m confused. I looked up the episode listing on both food network and TV Guide and it listed the throw down on 8/13 as being against Izzy’s Icecream Cafe in St. Paul????!!!

    @matt – I got a corn paleta. It was awesome.

    @Jamie – I noticed that as well when I looked it up, but it was definitely on last night. I won’t spoil the ending for you, but I bet you can guess who won ;)

    I agree about the black dress girl… wow!
    I wish I had a daughter who looked like that ;)

    Went there on Saturday, after reading this. Wow, the corn popsicle really is amazing! My wife hated it, but she's not very adventurous with food. Is there anywhere to watch this episode? I don't have cable either :(

  • http://nashvillest.com morganlevy

    So glad you went to try paletas! They're probably in my top five favorite things about Nashville, in all honesty. I tried a corn paleta on Wednesday while we were watching the Throwdown and it was really good. Still have yet to try the pineapple chili paleta that won the competition.

    Can't find anywhere to watch online, the Food Network doesn't even seem to recognize the fact that it aired. Their website says that the episode that aired last week was about Ice Cream. Strange.
