Did you know that Bobby Flay quit high school when he was 17 to take a job at Joe Allen restaurant in New York City? He did eventually continue his education, graduating from the French Culinary Institute in 1984. He even earned top honors. He went on to open his first restaurant, Mesa Grill, in 1991, at age 26. So if you didn't already know from his various cooking shows, this is a guy that cares a lot about professional kitchen culture.
