It's not always easy working with close friends, but Giada De Laurentiis and Bobby Flay make it look fun. After all, they co-hosted 14 seasons of Food Network Star and managed to stay friends. In the series, De Laurentiis and Flay were tasked with discovering the network's next star, according to Food Network. And from the outside, De Laurentiis and Flay seemed to have fun working together and traveling to fun destinations, like Universal Orlando Resort's Volcano Bay (via People).
Laughs were definitely never in short supply on Food Network Star, as seen in the teaser trailer for the 14th season, which aired in 2018. "We're always right," Flay told the camera before cracking up with De Laurentiis beside him.
Though the celebrity chefs have different cooking styles, they're both pretty humble when it comes to their skills, at least during their earlier years. In a joint interview with The New York Times, both chefs admitted that neither of them would have done well on the Food Network Star when they were younger. "I wouldn't have won Food Network Star," Flay said. De Laurentiis agreed, explaining, "Nobody's good in the beginning."
