Plan your schedule, set the DVR, but make sure your TV is turned into the Food Network at 9 p.m. today for a new show, “Beat Bobby Flay.”

Tonight’s episode features Steven McHugh, the chef and owner of Cured, 306 Pearl Parkway, Suite 101.

In the show, a pair of chefs compete for the opportunity to cook against Flay. In the first round, Flay picks an ingredient for his aspiring challengers. A panel of judges picks a winner, who then advances against Flay. But in the final competition, the challenger makes a signature dish, and Flay has to come up with his own interpretation of the dish. A blind taste test then determines the winner.

McHugh goes up against a 6’7” former rock star from Boston, Brian Young, with Food Network star Giada De Laurentiis and Cooking Channel’s Mo Rocca serving as celebrity guests for the battle.
