Welcome to Bobby Flay Everyday!

I am not an expert. I have never even taken a class. I have no formal training - but I love to grill. I love the food off the grill and I just like the idea, the fun and the relaxation of grilling. So naturally Bobby Flay is a hero. I have his books, I watch his shows and I try out his recipes. So my idea is to grill one of Bobby's grilling recommendations everyday and see how it goes. Bobby Flay Everyday!

The idea to grill and blog is not original. Julie Powell wrote a blog that became a book and then a movie when she cooked all 524 recipes from Julia Child's cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking. But this is not French Cooking - this is backyard, after work, tailgate, American male grilling. I grill outside in a man-cave in every kind of weather. There is no "grilling season" for me - its everyday, year-round. We will skip around through Bobby's books and TV shows and grill what we like. But grilling is more than food, its an experience - so we will also report on what music we listened to or what ball game was on while we were grilling. We will keep track of what we were drinking during the grilling and later with the food. I'll try to figure what went wrong when we fall short of Bobby's perfection and pass on any tips I know about or discover along the way. Maybe it will give others some ideas as well.

The photo is of me and two of my brother-in-laws roasting the Thanksgiving turkey on the grill last year. That's me on the far right. In real life I am a college professor and pilot. I have written 12 books, but they were all about flying - here we write about grilling. We write about Bobby Flay Everyday!

Bobby in Nashville!

Welcome Bobby Flay to Nashville! I got a chance to meet Bobby Flay - the namesake of BobbyFlayEveryday - this morning at the Williams Sonoma store in Green Hills/Nashville. In the photo I was telling Bobby that I had grilled a different Bobby Flay recipe everyday for 100 consecutive days earlier this year. He said, "That was a lot of work!" It was, but it was also a lot of fun, a lot of learning, and a lot of relaxing at the grill. Bobby was in town to autograph his new book! 
I actually have already grilled some of the recipes in this book during the 100 days as I got the recipe right off the TV show - Throwdown! Looks like I have another 100 days of grill ideas to go! Throwdown! the book, joined my Bobby Flay Library. The brown book at the end is the journal where I make notes from Bobby's TV shows. 
I was able to give Bobby Flay the address to this website, so Bobby if you did get the chance to check out the site you can look on the right side of the screen and find the Blog Archive (just above the links to your website, your Twitter and where I direct readers to buy your other books on amazon). I hope you get the time to take a look. If you do here are a few of my very favorite Bobby Flay postings and videos!

Canola Oil is not meant for any human consumption and this shill Bobby Flay whatever, keeps repeating and repeating and repeating this poisons name about 15 times per show. If he does indeed use it as much as he advertises it, maybe that's the reason he looks like drugs dried him up.
Stay healthy, --> avoid canola (rapeseed) oil at all cost.
