SHE LEARNED THE LINE FROM HIM. THEN SHE BROUGHT HER OWN.

Bobby Flay’s THE LINE, season one, episode six. Chef Leia Gaccione cooked for Bobby for years. This time she showed up on the other side of the pass with her own crew behind her and $25,000 on the table.

A full brunch service, judged plate by plate, against Bobby and his home team. The food we cooked on national television is the food we cook on Church Street every week.
