Bobby Flay invites a chef to his club to compete in three culinary rounds against his handpicked "titans": Brooke Williamson, Michael Voltaggio and Tiffany Derry. For each round, the challenger picks a different titan to cook against. In the first two rounds, Flay provides two ingredients for the chefs to cook with to make two dishes in 45 minutes. In the final round, the challenger picks the two ingredients they and the final titan will cook with; they have 40 minutes to prepare one dish. Each round is judged in a blind taste test by a single judge (who is not revealed until after the first battle), with the first two rounds worth 10 points each and the final round worth 20 points. If the challenger has a higher final score than the titans, they win $25,000 in cash and a locker at the club with their name plastered on, allowing them to return to the club whenever they want to.

The presentation of Bobby's Triple Threat has many elements of an exclusive club, with the set having a bar and bartender and the audience watching the matches at tables while having drinks. The challenger enters the club through a hidden door disguised as an enormous painting after giving Flay a password, which is always a certain food. If the challenger wins the game, they are given the cash prize by Flay in a duffel bag and enjoy a drink with him and his titans. If the challenger loses, they leave and the titans drink with Flay to celebrate their victory.
