More quotes by Bobby Flay
I think cookies are sort of the unsung sweet, you know? They're 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.

Nothing goes perfectly, especially when you're opening a restaurant.

I probably use my chef's knives more than any other tool in the kitchen. I'm not married to a particular brand, because they all work, they all have sharp blades.

If you aren't nervous about your passion, you aren't passionate about it.

Nobody believed the 'Food Network' could last. Even I was short sighted and thought to myself, 24 hours of food on TV? They'll run out of things to talk about in four days! But that wasn't true. 'Food Network' continues to get better and evolve.

When people pile seven things onto one burger, it drives me nuts!

Chipotles to me are a one-of-a-kind pepper because they're smoked jalapenos, so they're fiery and they're smoky. It's good to use chipotles in salsas or soups or condiments - that works really well. To me, they always really pick up anything you put them in.

A grill is just a source of heat. Just like a stove, it is very user-friendly.

It's important to have balance in your life between work and play.

Go vegetable heavy. Reverse the psychology of your plate by making meat the side dish and vegetables the main course.

The first time I was cooking for my wife, Stephanie, way before she was my wife, I actually put three chickens on the rotisserie and I closed the grill, which is really a bad idea. But I just wasn't thinking very straight that day. And I looked outside and I saw, like, smoke and flames.

I wasn't passionate about food until I'd been cooking for a while. I started long before food became part of the mainstream media. I just wanted to cook, period.

I think people are intimidated by grilling .. maybe it's the flame, maybe it's the big grills, maybe they've had some bad childhood experiences .. but I think that grilling is actually the easiest technique in cooking.

I still love making hamburgers on the grill. I guess whenever I eat them childhood memories come up for me.

Grilling outside with my parents at the Jersey shore. We would grill lobster and corn in the summer.

Today, when I hire, I look for people who want to be trained and molded.

I love working with big flavors like chiles and smoke. Honey is perfect for softening the edges, mellowing them out a bit. I put it in everything - vinaigrettes, soups, stocks, salsas, so I'm always on the hunt for great honey.

My partner and I are looking at several locations on Park Avenue South and Midtown for a new restaurant space.

I can't grill vegetables, shellfish or steaks without tongs. Don't 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.

Take risks and you'll get the payoffs. Learn from your mistakes until you succeed.
