Parallel to his culinary career, Bobby also turned into a pop culture TV star and best-selling author, hosting many shows and specials for the Food Network. He's currently one of the best known chefs in the United States. His cooking style mixes native American Southwestern cuisine and Mediterranean ingredients.

In total, BBP has nineteen locations in eleven states and the District of Columbia. The original Mesa Grill in New York closed in September 2013 following a proposed rent increase by the landlord. As of September 2019, Flay has an estimated net worth of $30 million.

While Flay uses regular unsalted butter for his porterhouse, you could swap it out for a homemade compound butter of your choosing whether it is an herb-infused version, garlic butter, or even a blue cheese or gorgonzola. If you are worried that the butter may cause your beef to burn under the broiler, don't.
