My contribution I hope is to get people to eat full-flavored food. If I could come away with that alone, that would be a fantastic accomplishment. Im also very proud of being a very American chef. – Bobby Flay
I wasnt passionate about food until Id been cooking for a while. I started long before food became part of the mainstream media. I just wanted to cook, period. – Bobby Flay
I think cookies are sort of the unsung sweet, you know? Theyre incredibly popular. But everybody thinks of cakes and pies and fancier desserts before they think cookies. A plate of cookies is a great way to end dinner and really nice to share at the holidays. – Bobby Flay
The Food Network was just starting in New York, and I was getting lots of attention from Mesa Grill. They had no money, so if you couldnt get there by subway, you couldnt be on. It wasnt like TV was something I really wanted to do – but I knew it would be great publicity for my restaurants. – Bobby Flay
