Wait Until You See Bobby Flay’s Kitchen — and ‘Jewel Box’ Entry
There’s a century-old warehouse vibe, a just-renovated sheen, and the unmistakable pulse of a home built to cook, linger, and pour “a little sip” at the end of the night.
Entry & Vestibule — The Little Jewel Box
For the first 10 years, opening the door meant stepping straight into the kitchen.
Now it opens into a “cool vestibule” that changes the whole arrival.
His designer, Olivia Jane, literally sketched the idea after looking at Parisian apartments.
“It really is like a little jewel box”.
Distressed mirrors line the space, throwing back warm light and mystery.
Stained glass teases a view through the pane, but not quite.
Kitchen — The Heart of the Apartment
The range is a BlueStar, “as close to a professional stove that you can have,” and it brings the firepower for feeding a crowd.
The backsplash was chosen to be easy to wash—and to look cool while it does the job.
Knives rotate in and out, but he loves one with an olive-wood handle because of the way it feels in hand.
There’s always a thick, dense cutting board on deck; the heft makes chopping feel grounded and confident.
Molcajetes earn prime real estate here—and yes, a gorgeous one just came home from Mexico City “about a month ago”.
The restaurant influence sneaks in via little cast-iron pans; shrimp, garlic, and chiles hit blazing heat and go out sizzling like they do at a spot you’d book weeks ahead.
Dining & Entertaining — Family Style Moments
The dining table moved in with him more than a decade ago, and the gently imperfect edges and visible grain make it an old friend.
Overhead, a chandelier by OCHRE sends light ricocheting through its cascading glass drops.
Chairs he had made 10 years back now wear fresh upholstery, dialing the room into its new groove.
He almost never plates individually—this home runs on family style.
One big pan of paella can “basically feed the world,” and that’s the point.
Living Room — Vintage Finds & Warm Materials
This is the room that changed the most, thanks to a deceptively simple move: they rotated the dining table to make the whole space more inclusive.
The modular sofa reads like linked pieces—“almost like a snake”—and can be reshaped to fit the night.
A bookshelf pairs gorgeous wood with steel, rivets and all, a materials mash-up that anchors the loft feel.
A proper bar cart adds a little James Bond swagger—ideal for pouring a small nightcap and calling it.
Vintage finds from the ’60s and ’70s pull everything together with soul.
Cozy Hangout, Bathroom & Bedroom Details
What was meant to be an extra bedroom became a hangout—smaller, cozier, and exactly the laid-back counterpoint to the living room.
The wallcovering bears claw marks because, yes, cats do what cats do—consider it a textured reminder not to put anything they can shred within reach.
The bathroom? “Like taking a shower in an oil painting,” with marble that’s busy in the most spectacular way.
The pattern swirls dramatically, while the copper tub’s exterior plays a bluish-green tint against the stone.
Back in the bedroom, a midnight-blue sofa sits at the foot of the bed—perfect for catching the morning news before the day heats up.
A new headboard designed by Olivia frames the bed, with original wood panels from a decade ago setting a warm tone, and layered lighting quietly steering the whole room’s mood.
Closet, Trophies & Personal Touches
There’s bourbon, of course—plus tequila and mezcal—stocked for a proper pour.
A couple of Emmys live here too, casually leaned more than displayed.
Breeders’ Cup trophies nod to a family deep in horse racing.
One shines for Pizza Bianca, the horse that won a big one and earned her spot on the shelf.
Then the dream closet: suits at the ready for hosting duties and show days.
There are chef coats (including an “Iron Chef” jacket he’s held onto), an array of shirts, a drawer of Moscot frames, and rows of shoes—from Nike Air that pop up on Beat Bobby Flay to always-cool Converse—plus a cameo from an infamous “ugly Christmas sweater” gifted by Carson Kressley.
Dinner party’s on deck, so the chef slips out with a quick thanks and a grin.
