Kick off grilling season at Mall of America® with Food Network's Bobby Flay!

Bobby Flay, host of Food Network's "FoodNation" and "Boy Meets Grill," brought his culinary dreams to life in 1991 with the opening of the now-celebrated Mesa Grill. Since then, the Manhattan native has earned critical acclaim, including Gael Greene's choice of Mesa Grill as Best Restaurant in 1992. Mesa Grill's two-star review in The New York Times reported that "the sassy fare at Mesa Grill surpasses anything of its kind elsewhere in New York."

In 2004, Bobby opened the Mesa Grill Las Vegas in Caesar's Palace. His newest American Brasserie, Bar Americain, opened in New York in the spring of 2005.
