Despite our whining about the length of the opening ceremonies, we really love the Olympics.
BUT every now and then, we need a break.
We’re already sick of some rivalries (looking at you, Phelps and Lochte). And sometimes the tension is just too much to take.
We hear you. That’s why this week Cooking Channel is serving up mini-marathons in primetime of The Boys of Summer (Bobby Deen, Bobby Flay and Alton Brown) – the perfect respite from the 2012 London Olympics.
Tonight

Bobby trims down his mom Paula Deen's best recipes. Do we spy some gold medal-worthy biceps? Clearly, the proof is in the (whole wheat donut bread) pudding.
Not My Mama’s Meals with Bobby Deen
If tiny soaring 4’10” gymnasts and scantily-clad buff and bronzed swimmers have you feeling a bit out of shape, Bobby Deen is the answer to your prayers. In six back-to-back episodes, Bobby recreates his mom’s legendary (and highly caloric) recipes to be lighter on your wasteline while still packing a huge flavor punch. Watch Bobby cook his way through Game Time Chili Dogs, Monster Mushroom Burgers, Whole Wheat Donut Bread Pudding, Heavenly Milkshakes, Gooey (With Less) Butter Cakes and more.

The competition is just heating up on Cooking Channel as Bobby takes on the country's best in a culinary duel.

Tired of the Lochte vs. Phelps battle? We have the ultimate competition: Bobby Flay challenging the country’s best to a culinary duel. Watch him take on the American Kings and Queens of Burgers, Pizza, Grilled Cheese, Cheesesteaks and more in five back-to-back episodes. Who will take home the gold medal?
