During a 2014 interview with CBS Sunday Morning, viewers learned that Flay failed out of several schools before officially dropping out of high school altogether at the age of 17.
Flay echoed those sentiments back in 2011, telling The Wall Street Journal,
"I really had no interest in doing any school work whatsoever."
His scholarly father then laid down the law, telling him to get a job. But Flay didn't have time to look, because his father took the matter into his own hands. Flay explained,
"Two days later, he called and said the busboy at a restaurant where he was a partner…needed two weeks off to visit his sick grandmother. I was told to fill in."
When the busboy returned to work, Flay's life changed instantly. He remembered,
"I was literally walking out of the restaurant and the chef said, 'Do you want to work in the kitchen?' And I said, 'Sure.' It was because I had nothing else to do that day." Keep watching to see Bobby Flay's Double Life Revealed!
