Chelsea Handler: Bobby Flay is 'Cheap'
27 May
Summary
- Chelsea Handler revealed a bad date with chef Bobby Flay.
- Handler found Flay to be 'cheap' after a hotel food bill incident.
- Despite the mishap, Handler went on a date with Flay, but chemistry was lacking.

Comedian Chelsea Handler recently appeared on Kristin Cavallari's "Let's Be Honest" podcast, detailing a disappointing encounter with celebrity chef Bobby Flay. Handler recounted how Flay, attempting to impress her and her friends at a hotel, offered to order room service. The situation soured when the hotel billed Handler directly for the food.
This unexpected turn led Handler to learn from someone nearby that Flay was known for being "cheap." Handler expressed her strong aversion to stinginess, stating, "If you're penurious, I'm not interested in you." She prefers generosity in her partners.
Despite the awkwardness surrounding the room service bill, Handler did go on a date with Flay. However, she found the chemistry to be lacking, ultimately describing the entire experience as "messy." This revelation comes as Flay was also a guest on Cavallari's podcast previously, discussing his dating life.
Bobby Flay is reportedly in a relationship with chef Brooke Williamson. Handler's candid remarks about the chef's alleged frugality have sparked online discussion, particularly concerning a millionaire chef potentially avoiding a room service tab.
