Bobby Flay was magnificent and his presentation was very well received by all involved. He averaged approximately 1,000 people per presentation and this was against a home UK football game against Alabama. I must compliment Chef Flay for being a total professional in every way.It was without a doubt one of the smoothest events that we have ever experienced!
