Bobby Flay Movies
Master chef Bobby Flay netted sweeping recognition for his contribution to making Southwestern American cuisine one of the mainstays of gourmet dining in the United States during the 1990s and 2000s. A New York City native, Flay took a job during adolescence at the Joe Allen Restaurant in Manhattan, where he dazzled everyone with his culinary skills. Courtesy of Allen, Flay later attended the prestigious French Culinary Institute, then accepted a position as one of the chefs at the Manhattan-based Miracle Grill, where the proprietors gave him the breadth and freedom of invention necessary to concoct a series of original dishes with a Southwestern theme that quickly caught on with the public. In 1991, Flay traveled the entrepreneurial route, opening his own Mesa Grill, an eatery that soon became the toast of the Big Apple; successive restaurants, including Bolo and the Mesa Grill Las Vegas, followed, as did numerous cookbooks. Flay is best known to many, however, for his long stint on television's Food Network, as the host of the programs Boy Meets Grill and FoodNation. He also memorably competed against Masaharu Morimoto on the original Japanese cooking competition series Iron Chef, and subsequently served as a formidable Iron Chef on Iron Chef America. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Fourteen-year-old Eddie Ogden (Taylor Ball) is the best player on his baseball team. He also happens to be a natural-born chef, and it is this peculiar talent that opens him up for ridicule, not only from his fellow players, but also from the team's coach, who happens to be Eddie's father (Mark L. Taylor). After enduring such jibes as "Will he trade his baseball mitt for an oven mitt," poor Eddie is in for even more verbal abuse when he enters a prestigious cooking contest -- on the same day as the championship ballgame. Our hero's story is paralleled with that of a young girl who is being forced by her mother to try out for the cheerleading squad, even though the girl would rather play baseball. Real-life master chef Bobby Flay appears as himself in the New Zealand-filmed Eddie's Million-Dollar Cookoff, which made its Disney Channel debut on July 18, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
