NEED TO KNOW
Bobby Flay had a sweet compliment for girlfriend Brooke Williamson’s hairstyle in the latest episode of Bobby’s Triple Threat.
The Food Network star answered fans’ questions about the show in a series of posts on his Instagram Stories on Tuesday, Sept. 16 — including one asking whether he feels anxious while watching each round on the culinary competition series or prefers to “just sit back and enjoy.”
Williamson serves as a titan on the show, alongside Michael Voltaggio and Ayesha Nurdjaja, who recently replaced Tiffany Derry.
“I love my job observing,” Flay replied. “The cooking is so top notch, plus @chefbrookew is wearing really cute bow in her hair tonight.”
He added of Williamson’s playful black bow in the episode, “One of my favorite looks on her. Go get ‘em chef!”

Last week, Flay posted more praise for the Sunkissed Cooking cookbook author, this time sharing warm words about her skills in the kitchen.
Flay replied to a viewer who wanted to know his thoughts on each titan’s best quality.
He wrote that Voltaggio’s strength is “creativity that is only his,” and noted that Nurdjaja brought “impact” to the show. “I relate mostly to her approach,” he added. “The flavor is always evident.”
When it came to Williamson, Flay said her best quality was “the delicious factor,” adding, “She always finds the balance on every dish.”
Flay and Williamson went public with their romance in March.
In recent weeks, they were seen kissing at the U.S. Open and spending Williamson’s 47th birthday together in a video she shared of the celebration.
Flay addressed their relationship in an interview with PEOPLE in June, saying, “I’ve been friends with Brooke forever.”

He also reflected on the similarities the pair of chefs share.
“I love working with Brooke,” he said. “We have a lot in common. We’re very lucky. We’re both chefs. We both have kids. We’re both parents.”
Williamson has a son, Hudson, from her previous marriage to Nick Roberts, and Flay has a daughter, Sophie Flay, from his marriage to Kate Connelly.
“We are both in the restaurant business,” Flay added. “We have tons to talk about in terms of the things that we love to do besides just go and have dinner every once in a while. So it’s been really great. And one of the things I really like about being in a relationship with Brooke is that she’s great to bounce things off of. Like we ask each other’s opinion about things that we’re doing food wise or restaurant wise or business wise, all the time. So it’s really nice to have kind of a best friend that you’re dating that can also be helpful answering the questions that you have.
