Bobby Flay Bio
Bobby Flay is an award-winning chef, restaurateur, cookbook author and media personality. He has opened numerous upscale restaurants in New York City and beyond, the first of which was the renowned Mesa Grill in 1991. Most recently, in December 2023, Bobby opened Brasserie B by Bobby Flay at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas offering delicious and distinct French-inspired dishes, an intersection of French cuisine and Flay's creative touches. Eighteen months earlier, Bobby opened Amalfi (also at Caesars Palace), celebrating the vibrant cuisine of Italy's Amalfi Coast, a place near and dear to Bobby's heart. In addition to his fine dining restaurants, there are several outposts of Bobby's fast-casual concept, Bobby’s Burgers, across the country — including Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Paris Hotel Las Vegas, Harrah’s Las Vegas, Yankee Stadium, Charlotte North Carolina, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and more. Bobby is the author of 18 best-selling cookbooks, with his latest, Bobby Flay: Chapter One and Inspirations from a Groundbreaking American Chef: A Cookbook released in October 2024. Flay has starred in dozens of Food Network programs, including BBQ Brawl, Beat Bobby Flay, Bobby’s Triple Threat, Brunch @ Bobby’s, The Flay List, Iron Chef America as well as numerous specials. Among his many distinctions are the 1993 James Beard Award for Rising Star Chef of the Year, his induction into the James Beard Foundation’s Who’s Who of Food and Beverage in America in 2007. Bobby has received five Daytime Emmy Awards for Boy Meets Grill, Grill It! with Bobby Flay and Barbecue Addiction. In 2015, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame — the first chef ever to be awarded one. Bobby is the proud father to daughter Sophie, who works as a journalist for a major television network in Los Angeles.
