- Bobby Flay: I'm thrilled to be opening two of my restaurants at Mohegan Sun. It's my first foray into New England.

- Bobby Flay: (describing his perfect day off) With my daughter and my wife. Cooking at home or somewhere else far away. I love going to places where I don't live, like Europe. Going to the local markets and then bringing the food back to wherever I'm staying and cooking. I love that. I make a whole day out of that because I go at my own pace. It's really relaxing for me.

- Bobby Flay: (when asked what he misses the most after becoming so famous)  I miss being a line cook. I cooked on a line as a cook for seven or eight years and I loved the camaraderie of it. I loved the energy. I loved being in the heat of being busy. I felt like I was part of a team. I was always an athlete growing up and into my early adulthood. I love being able to high-five someone next to me because we accomplished something. Now I'm the head coach. It's a little bit lonelier being the head coach.
