More quotes by Bobby Flay
Grilling outside with my parents at the Jersey shore. We would grill lobster and corn in the summer.
Bobby Flay
A grill is just a source of heat. Just like a stove, it is very user-friendly.
Bobby Flay
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.
Bobby Flay
Even if the chef has a good business head, his focus should be behind kitchen doors. A business partner should take care of everything in front of the kitchen doors.
Bobby Flay
Nothing goes perfectly, especially when you're opening a restaurant.
Bobby Flay
Most of the time, I grill over high heat. I like things to move fast. I like the sound and smell of a very hot fire. I gravitate towards dishes that you can get on and off the grill as quickly as possible. After a while, you'll know without thinking about it how hot the fire is.
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
When people pile seven things onto one burger, it drives me nuts!
Bobby Flay
If you aren't nervous about your passion, you aren't passionate about it.
Bobby Flay
When I go to a restaurant, I eat three-quarters of the food in front of me. That cuts my calorie intake by 25 percent.
Bobby Flay
Today, when I hire, I look for people who want to be trained and molded.
Bobby Flay
I dropped out of high school. I really had no interest in doing any school work whatsoever.
Bobby Flay
Everybody says, 'I have problems overcooking steak on the grill,' but just take it off earlier! Grilling is really common sense. It's very simple. You should think of a grill as a burner - it just happens to have grates. You shouldn't be intimidated by it.
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. I'm also very proud of being a very American chef.
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 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.
Bobby Flay
Obviously, the easiest recipes are the most successful when it comes to the home cook, because they're not intimidated by them. If I'm doing 'Boy Meets Grill,' and I do something very simple like grilled hamburgers or steaks or chicken, those are the most sought-after recipes.
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.
Bobby Flay
You can't chase everybody on the Internet who's saying stuff about you, that's for sure.
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 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.
