Bobby Flay’s New Food Network Competition ‘The Line’ Sets Premiere Date – Here’s What to Know

Bobby Flay has a new TV show on the way.

Bobby Flay’s The Line will premiere on Tuesday, September 8 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Food Network.

“I consider The Line the project that Food Network audiences have been waiting for – it combines high-end restaurant cooking, exhilarating competition and behind-the-scenes moments in real time. It’s how the restaurants that we run work – and sometimes don’t. The Line is a real-life kitchen rollercoaster that the viewer will want to be strapped in for. Seat belts everyone – the kitchen is open!” he said in a statement, via an official release from the network.

What Is The Line About?

 In restaurant kitchens around the world, elite chefs must work as a team every night to perfectly execute their dishes under intense pressure and in the new competition series Bobby Flay’s The Line, the culinary icon pulls back the curtain on the high-stakes reality of working on a restaurant line. 

Who Stars in The Line?

Each week, Bobby leads his hand-picked home team of extraordinary chefs Antonia Lofaso, Michael Jenkins and Claudette Zepeda against some of the country’s most acclaimed restaurant staffs to execute a flawless dinner service – all for real diners in real time.

How Much Money Do Winners Get on The Line?

The dueling lines must deliver dishes to diners and VIP guests, who rate each plate. After the ratings roll in, the lines can then choose to pivot their strategy based on that feedback. The home team’s reputation is at stake to secure the win, but if the visiting team prevails, they will win $25,000.  

What happens in the first episode of The Line?

In the series premiere, Marcus Samuelsson surprises Bobby by joining his restaurant Hav & Mar’s Executive Chef Fariyal Abdullahi and her line to go up against Bobby’s home team in a global seafood battle. Unexpected problems force the chefs to improvise to get all their dishes out – but only one line overcomes the obstacles to capture the win. Upcoming episodes feature visiting teams led by culinary heavyweights Pig and Khao’s Leah Cohen, Good Stuff Eatery’s Spike Mendelsohn, Kindling’s Jonathon Sawyer and more.
