Bobby Flay is opening up about whom he finds funniest.
While answering fans' questions on Instagram Stories on Thursday, May 28, the celebrity chef was asked, “Who makes you laugh the most when they are roasting you?”
Flay responded that the answer was “easily” fellow Food Network personality Sunny Anderson.
“She's one of the funniest and most talented people in television,” he added.

Last week, he shared the secret to winning his eponymous cooking competition when he was asked, “What's the smartest strategy to beat you on Beat Bobby Flay?”
“It's usually picking something I'll definitely struggle with,” Flay replied, adding, “Desserts, Asian cuisines.”
In March, he addressed a common cooking mistake chefs make on the show.
“They make a ‘special' version of their signature dish,” Flay explained. “That's where it always goes wrong.”

And in February, Flay was asked whether he welcomes baking challenges on Beat Bobby Flay.
“Not my fave,” Flay, 61, admitted. “I'm a fish out of water, but I enjoy the challenge.”

Earlier this year, the Bobby's Triple Threat star shared insight into the process behind his Instagram Q&As during an interview with PEOPLE at the 2026 South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF).
“I literally answer those questions, I swear to you, in less than four minutes,” he said. “My team gives me the questions, they write through all the questions, they give them to me. I answer them right away. And I want them to be very spontaneous.”
Flay noted that he's frequently asked about his girlfriend of a year, fellow chef Brooke Williamson, 47.
“I think probably the most popular ones are when people ask me about Brooke and cooking and stuff like that, because for some reason, people are interested in my love life,” he said. “I'm not really sure why, but they are. So have at it.”
Another one of Flay's Food Network shows, BBQ Brawl, returned on May 11, with Williamson's role changing from judge to team captain and Flay and Maneet Chauhan leading the other two teams.
After its season 7 premiere, Flay invited viewers to ask him questions about the series on Instagram, with one fan wanting to know, “How do you feel about Maneet's strategy, using u & Brooke against each other?”
“Smart strategy,” he replied. “@chefbrookew is focused on winning this thing and @maneetchauhan is the reigning champ. I'm the odd guy out!”
