I think a lot of times people design restaurants with flash in mind. I think you should design restaurants with function in mind. Make sure its functional and works with what youre trying to accomplish. Design can come later. – 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
