<p>Bobby Flay Spills Behind-The-Scenes Secrets From 'BBQ Brawl' originally appeared on Parade.</p>
<p>Bobby Flay, 60, is opening up about what goes on behind the scenes on his hit Food Network summer program BBQ Brawl, which also features chefs Maneet Chauhan and Antonia Lofaso.</p>
<p>The TV grilling icon took to Instagram Stories on Sunday, July 21, 2025, to spill the tea on fans' most burning questions, from which season 6 team captain is the most competitive to which rule Flay admits he has "mixed feelings" about.</p>
<p>But first and foremost, fans wanted to confirm that Flay himself was the person behind the Q&A responses. "Is this really Bobby who answers?" one person asked in the Stories question box, to which the chef said, "100% it's me. I never let someone else speak for me."</p>

<p>Flay also shed some light on the filming schedule, confirming that "one day = one episode" when it comes to shooting. Fans were curious about more on-set details, too, with one asking whether the stars start the BBQ fires or if they're already burning before the show starts filming. "We have 'live fire experts' who keep the coals and wood hot," Flay explained, adding that "watching these BBQ contestants light fires would be very boring TV."</p>

<p>This season, the chefs returned to Star Hill Ranch in Austin, TX, to film, and fans wondered what Flay does with his beloved pet cats when he's filming. One asked if he brings them along with him to Texas. "I haven't lately, but that might change," he responded. "They want some Texas BBQ and they love the Austin music scene."</p>
<p>When it comes to who is most competitive, Flay says, "Chef Antonia, hands down. She'll cut a... Brisket!" Still, he gets a little heated himself when it comes to one controversial rule. In the competition, one chef from the losing team is cut each week. There are various grilling challenges, and the winners of the challenges are awarded advantages, including the ability to steal a cook.</p>

<p>When one follower asked Flay if he thinks it's "fair" when a chef "takes a cook from another team when they are down to one cook" left, he admitted he has "mixed feelings about that rule," but that he accepts it. "We all have to play by the rules," he added.</p>
