Back in August, there was a pilot of Beat Bobby Flay that aired on the Food Network, which many people seemed to like. It now is confirmed that the Food Network has decided to green light the show and will produce the first season.Beat Bobby Flay is casting right now and is looking for ideally 8 chefs in the tri-state area and 8 chefs that they would travel to. That means there will be 8 episodes for the season of Beat Bobby Flay, and the season should air in January on the Food Network.
I reached out to Jeff Mauro to see if him and Alex Guarnaschelli would be participating in all of the episodes (they were in the pilot), and he responded "Not sure, regardless,would donate a love handle to charity to have the opportunity to work w my boo guarnaschelli again!"
So, we will have to wait and see if they use Alex and Jeff or use different people in the episodes.
If you are interested in applying for the show, the flyer with information is below:
