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. Bobby Flay chefcookdrink share on social
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 bladebrandchef Change image and share on social
The process and the great smells it produces make everyone hungry and get everyone's mouth watering. And it gives men a chance to cook. Bobby Flay chancecookgreat Change image and share on social
A grill is just a source of heat. Just like a stove, it is very user-friendly. Bobby Flay friendlygrillheat Change image and share on social
Basically, there are two things we know: Everybody has less time, and the general public is demanding better food - better in terms of quality and better in terms of flavor. Bobby Flay basicallydemandflavor Change image and share on social
I don't like to dump the dressing on top of the greens. Instead, I pour it against the side of the bowl - using only enough to glaze the leaves - then toss. Bobby Flay bowldressdump Change image and share on social
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 chickencomfortablecook Change image and share on social
I love using gas grills because they are easier to heat and it's much easier to control the flames with a gas grill than with a charcoal fire. Grilling is not just about lighting a fire. Bobby Flay charcoalcontroleasy Change image and share on social
Habaneros have a great fruity flavor, but the challenge is that you have to deflect the heat in order to taste the flavor. If you don't, you're dead. They should really have a warning sign on them. Deflect the habanero's heat by pairing it with sweet food. Bobby Flay challengedeaddeflect share on social
