Flay said fans are highly interested in his relationship with Williamson and her story as a chef
Bobby Flay is dishing on Brooke Williamson’s skills in the kitchen.
While answering questions about Beat Bobby Flay on Instagram, the celebrity chef was asked, “Fav thing chef Brooke cooks for you?”
“Brooklyn has a new recipe for yeasted pancakes that will take over our household as the ‘house’ pancakes,” he replied. “So good!”
The two Food Network stars began dating in March 2025, and Flay, 61, noted that he’s frequently asked about his girlfriend of a year, 47.
“I think probably the most popular ones are when people ask me about Brooke and cooking and stuff like that, because for some reason, people are interested in my love life,” he said while chatting with PEOPLE at the 2026 South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF) in February. ““I’m not really sure why, but they are. So have at it.”

Flay shared the quick process behind his popular Instagram Q&As.
“I literally answer those questions, I swear to you, in less than four minutes,” he said. “My team gives me the questions, they write through all the questions, they give them to me. I answer them right away. And I want them to be very spontaneous.”
Flay also said the episode of his podcast, Bobby on the Beat, that featured an interview with Williamson was the most popular.

“People want to hear the story of our relationship,” he noted. “And also, she’s got her own story as being a chef. So tons of interest there.”
Williamson and Flay told PEOPLE at SOBEWFF that they’d be celebrating their first anniversary with a trip to Japan. Flay said Williamson was taking the lead on their travel plans.
“She’s doing them all, because I’m not a Tokyo expert by any means,” he said. “Brooke is so focused in on where we’re eating, where we’re going. So if you have any questions about what we’re doing, you need to call her.”
