For at least 3 more years anyway. It was reported last month that they would be parting ways because they couldn't come to an agreement on pay, working conditions, etc. The network cut off talks and it was expected that he would just move on to other things. The celebrity chef wanted $100 million for 3 years (can you even imagine??) which is $20 million more than Guy Fieri's latest FN contract. What they agreed on has not been reported but Flay said "that both sides are happy". He will continue filming new episodes of Beat Bobby Flay as well as filming a new show with his daughter: Bobby and Sophie on the Coast. I'm sure he will be involved with other shows too. Gotta get their money's worth out of him. Flay also has restaurants in New York City and Las Vegas. (maybe in other places too but I don't know about them) Seems like he will have plenty to do for the next 3 years.

I would be sad to see him go, but I didn't think Food Network could really get rid of him that easily.

He is one of my favorites. I have 4 of his cookbooks.

$100 million is certainly greedy! They probably are getting to the point with many of these celebrities that it's just costing them too much.

Good to know that Bobby Flay will be staying with the Food Network for at least three more years on his contract.
