Bobby Flay Radio Show To Debut On Sirius XM

Celebrity chef Bobby Flay is launching a talk radio show on which he will offer advice to men on everything from dating, dining, dressing and how to nail a tough job interview.

The star of numerous Food Network programs will host "Bobby Flay Radio" weekly on SIRIUS XM Radio starting Thursday. Flay is signed on for a five-week run, but says he is open to more if the two-hour show goes well.

While the call-in show will touch on everything from sports to current events, Flay says food still will be the focus.

"Food transcends so much now," Flay said in a telephone interview. "It's become so much part of lifestyle. How you eat, plate it, how you dress and how you live all have a lot to do with one another."

Flay's wife, actress Stephanie March, will join him on the show occasionally.

"When basically I'm saying everything wrong, she'll correct me," Flay said.

I just can't SEE cooking on the radio!

Food ! I'm listening. Advice on dressing, Not so much!

[OpusIsUnderTheBed]

C- celebrity.

I've eaten at his restaurants and used his recipes and enjoyed both. I think he really understands balance and taste better than many chefs. However...

If I was contacted by the food network and told that they were going to do a special about me or my restaurant and my mastery of a particular food item-this being the premise of his show "Throwdown"-and he showed up and challenged me I think I'd be heartbroken and very angry. Think about it. You work your butt off to make your business grow and be successful, you think you're going to get recognition which will translate into greater sales, happier employees, a better life for you, your family and your employees and then you realize that you're a pawn being used by a celebrity chef to further enhance his celebrity. The people that he "throws down" with never look happy, but rather, confused, and sometimes (as was the case with the donut man) downright pissed.

Keep grilling, Bobby, keep cooking and I wish you luck with your radio show but please, reign in your ego and don't think that just because you show up somewhere people are going to kiss the hem of your cashmere apron.

What is with grown men who call themselves "Bobby" or "Danny" or the like?

[dryrock]

No one has beat The Splendid Table, to my ear. Though I'd give Michael Symon a listen, too, he's hilarious (and talented).

I can't even watch "Throw Up with bobby Flay".
As the old saying goes: He has the perfect face for radio.

I can't believe he's married to Stephanie March.
Did she lose a bet or something?

[beanchihuahua]

I would listen to him before I sat through a minute of Rachel Ray..Talk about an egomaniac.

Love "Throw Down." Good luck, Bobby!

[postman606]

I don't know how anything he does can translate to radio.

[Palemoon]

He's ok I suppose, tho I never did watch him very much. I'm more into Guy Fieri and Anthony Bourdaine. Mmmmm.

[ohiomark]

Will he be cooking on radio too?
