More quotes by Bobby Flay
When I'm on television, I think that I appeal to the everyday guy, 'cause that's who I am. The guys who go to the football games on the weekends are my viewers, for sure.
Bobby Flay
Lime juice makes things taste fresher. I use it for drinks, salsas, relishes, soups, and sauces. You want some give to your limes - firmness means the inside is dry - and they'll stay softer longer if you don't refrigerate them.

I think everybody at some point in time has thought to themselves, I have a really great idea for a restaurant.
Bobby Flay
I spend 80% of my time in my restaurants. Taping my TV shows doesn't take much time, and then they get aired a lot. That's the thing people don't realize.

'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 couldn't get there by subway, you couldn't be on. It wasn't like TV was something I really wanted to do - but I knew it would be great publicity for my restaurants.

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

A molcajete is a stone mortar and pestle from Mexico. They're great for grinding spices and making salsa and guacamole because they give everything a nice coarse and rustic feel. I've never collected anything, but I think I might start collecting these because each one is decorated differently.

I guess I fell into cooking.

If you aren't nervous about your passion, you aren't passionate about it.
Bobby Flay
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.
Bobby Flay
You can't chase everybody on the Internet who's saying stuff about you, that's for sure.
Bobby Flay
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.
Bobby Flay
I don't have a long family history of good cooks in my family.
Bobby Flay
When people pile seven things onto one burger, it drives me nuts!
Bobby Flay
Go vegetable heavy. Reverse the psychology of your plate by making meat the side dish and vegetables the main course.
Bobby Flay
In those days, the main requirement to be on the Food Network was being able to get there by subway.
Bobby Flay
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.
Bobby Flay
I live in New York and I'm in New York basically all the time. I spend a lot of my time in my restaurants, and I feel like that's why they're successful.
Bobby Flay
My partner and I are looking at several locations on Park Avenue South and Midtown for a new restaurant space.

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.
