Bobby shares the memories of when he first heard of Food Network, initially called The Television Food Network, and his skepticism about how long it would actually last. He talks about his first show, “Grillin’ and Chillin’”, and a never-before-told story about those early days. Bobby and Jaymee talk about his daughter, Sophie Flay, what it’s like to work together and the characteristic he admires most in her.

He talks about how he chose his three culinary titans and the undercover mission to Tiffany Derry’s restaurant to cast her for the show. Bobby shares the unique premise of the show and reveals what is really in the prized duffel bag. He passionately talks about why the dishes on his shows are judged hot and why he’s grown weary of questions about the legitimacy of Beat Bobby Flay before diving into the insane shooting schedule and why he is a stickler for time on set.
