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.

From 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.

From Bobby Flay

For me, it's all about moderation. I don't kick things out of my diet, like carbs. But I'm not going to eat fast food.

From Bobby Flay

I dropped out of high school. I really had no interest in doing any school work whatsoever.

From 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.

From Bobby Flay

Today, when I hire, I look for people who want to be trained and molded.

From Bobby Flay

It's important to have balance in your life between work and play.

From 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.

From Bobby Flay

Nothing goes perfectly, especially when you're opening a restaurant.

From Bobby Flay

I think a lot of times people design restaurants with flash in mind. I think you should design restaurants with function in mind. Make sure it's functional and works with what you're trying to accomplish. Design can come later.
