bobby flay.

today we went to bobby flay's restaurant, mesa.  i've been to the one in vegas before but you know how i love my food network, i had to go to the one in nyc too..  we got there and had about a 15 min wait so while we were waiting i was looking around and wondering what exactly the theme of the restaurant was.  there were like airplane looking fans, flame stained glass, horses on the chair coverings, great big pillars in the middle of the restaurant painted different colors, weird, random black and white pictures, etc.  when we get seated at our table, i say "i'm gonna have to have a word with bobby flay about his choice in decor.  this is awful and he needs to hire me to redecorate for him."  not but TWO seconds later, christi looks back into the kitchen and says "oh my gosh! it's bobby flay!"  for a split second i thought she was just kidding until the man himself walked right past us!! oh my gosh! i then immediately regretted saying how bad the decor was and hoped that he didn't hear me!  i would've felt like a huge idiot...  so ya, turns out he's sitting at the table NEXT to us, eating lunch with his daughter and one of her friends.  i still cannot believe that we saw him!  i'm not gonna lie, i was a little star struck :) i wanted to take a picture with him so bad and some people were but i didn't want to interrupt his meal so i just stared at him like a big fat creeper instead :) haha! better, right?  it was a pretty good meal... heather and i shared a steak and for dessert i got a toasted coconut layer cake that apparently bobby won on his show, throwdown.  it was tastey, thats for sure.  glad to know that bobby actually eats at his own restaurant.  i'll definitely be back hoping to catch another glimpse of bobby, only this time i hope he's the one cooking my food :)
