Talk With Us About The National "Healthy Food Fight" Is Celebrity Chef Bobby Flay Who Will Also Tell About Crowning The Healthiest Chef

This is all part of a national “Healthy Food Fight” campaign that Aetna launched in the fall, encouraging consumers from around the country to eat and prepare healthy foods. As part of the campaign, four finalists from around the country are traveling to New York City to prepare their recipe for Flay on Friday, in hopes of being crowned the healthiest chef.

Bobby discovered his culinary identity at the age of 17, working as a cook at the famed theatre district haunt Joe Allen's. The job had been arranged by his father, who was a partner in the restaurant. After a short time, Joe Allen himself became so impressed by Bobby's talents that he paid the young cook's tuition to the French Culinary Institute.

Since debuting on Food Network in 1994, Bobby has continuously hosted programs that bring cooking tips and information on American regional fare to a national audience. His first show, Grillin' & Chillin', premiered in 1996, followed by Hot Off the Grill in 1998 and Boy Meets Grill in 2003. Along with participating in many holiday and seasonal Food Network specials over the years, Bobby currently stars on Iron Chef America (premiered 2005), Throwdown with Bobby Flay (premiered 2006), Grill It! with Bobby Flay and Food Network Star (both premiered 2008). In fall 2010, Bobby expanded his television presence to Food Network's sister network Cooking Channel with the debut of Brunch @ Bobby's.
