Sequel to the bestselling Boy Meets Grill Boy Gets Grill marks Bobby Flay's return to the fire with his first grilling book in five years. The connection between Flay and fire began when as a kid growing up in New York City Bobby learned to grill during trips to the Jersey Shore. As a young chef starting out he always wanted to work the grill station and when he opened his first restaurant in 1991 he called it Mesa Grill. The word grill was firmly hooked to his name. And then the Food Network called.

Like his highly rated prime-time grilling show Boy Gets Grill is set on a rooftop in Queens overlooking the Manhattan skyline and celebrates the explosive flavors of his hometown's diverse neighborhoods. This is Bobby Flay's New York and everywhere he goes there is great grilling: from Chinatown to Astoria Queens (Greek food); Arthur Avenue in the Bronx (for old-style Italian); and lower Lexington Avenue (better known as Curry Hill for Indian); and the flavors go on and on.

The question isn't Can I grill this? but Is there a reason not to grill this? Usually the answer is Go ahead and try it! Throughout Bobby gets more and more out of the grill making life easier and encouraging everyone to think big have fun and get their hands dirty.

The grill is no longer for weekends only. The recipes in Boy Gets Grill are the quickest and easiest that Bobby has ever created making the grill a perfect vehicle for busy weeknight meals. Flavors are (pleasantly) challenging. For the simplest of suppers try Grilled Quesadillas with Sliced Steak Blue Cheese and Watercress; Grilled Shrimp with Triple Lemon Butter; Grilled Tuna with Red Chile Allspice and Orange Glaze; or a Pressed Cuban-Style Burger.

Boy Gets Grill is also full of great ideas for entertaining and enjoying the company of family and friends. In the Big Parties section Bobby takes hosts and hostesses through every step of preparation for a Fish Taco Party Burger Bar and a Skewer Party (perfect for backyard cocktail parties where one hand stays free to hold a glass). There are even recipes for brunch on the grill. The book includes cool drinks to sip while the fire gets hot as well as appetizers salads simple desserts and of course the meats fish and poultry that everyone loves to grill. Bobby also gives tips on what equipment you need to grill (and more important what you don't); six simple (and decidedly low-tech) steps to test for doneness; how to gauge how hot your fire is; and Bobby's guide to steak.
