More quotes by Bobby Flay
I seem to respond most to places that are more cosmopolitan because of my Manhattan upbringing. Some of the major international cities I've visited, like Madrid, Rome and London, have a lot of similarities and New York elements while ... having their own flavor.
Bobby Flay
I think New York has the most diverse and best quality representation of so many different cuisines at all levels.

Grilling outside with my parents at the Jersey shore. We would grill lobster and corn in the summer.
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
Go vegetable heavy. Reverse the psychology of your plate by making meat the side dish and vegetables the main course.
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
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
My partner and I are looking at several locations on Park Avenue South and Midtown for a new restaurant space.

It's important to have balance in your life between work and play.
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
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
You can't chase everybody on the Internet who's saying stuff about you, that's for sure.
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
A grill is just a source of heat. Just like a stove, it is very user-friendly.
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
I dropped out of high school. I really had no interest in doing any school work whatsoever.
Bobby Flay
Cook ingredients that you are used to cooking by other techniques, such as fish, chicken, or hamburgers. In other words be comfortable with the ingredients you are using.
Bobby Flay
There are so many great things about this business. Almost everybody is on the same team. It is all for one-friendly competitiveness. No one is out to hurt anyone.
Bobby Flay
Charcoal or gas. Both give excellent results, so choose the one that best suits your style of cooking.
Bobby Flay
I was hired as a sous-chef at a restaurant on the Upper East Side. The chef liked to drink - some mornings we would find him sleeping. Two weeks after its opening, I became the chef. I was 20 years old, and way over my head. I had to hire the cooks and do the menus.
