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
Dont try to be the next Rachael Ray or Bobby Flay, we already have those people. We want someone who is going to make their own mark on Food Network. – Bobby Flay
I cant grill vegetables, shellfish or steaks without tongs. Dont bother with those long-handled grilling tongs normally found in the BBQ section of your home store. Get intimate with your grill and opt for the regular stainless steel tongs. – Bobby Flay
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
