Good to have you join us.

All chefs have assistants. It is not like he has 800 hands. Plus every good chef takes advice from others as to taste, texture, etc.

Everyone needs a sidekick from time-to-time to spice up the show. He'd be talking to himself if they weren't there. I agree as well that he could do this on his own. __________________ BerryBaby

STEPHANIE BANYAS has been Bobby Flay’s business assistant since 1997. She is a graduate of the French Culinary Institute and lives in New York City. She is also co-author of many of his cookbooks.

Welcome aboard ChefJason!

Are these two women actual employees of Boby's or just friends or what?
