Bobby Flay Visits The Daily Meal And Shared The Secrets To Making Spanish Sausage (Slideshow)
Bobby Flay — probably one of the most famous chefs in America, who will choose cooking in his restaurant kitchens over appearing on TV any day (even though his list of Food Network shows is as long as the fanciest chef's knife) — visited The Daily Meal kitchen to cook some of his favorite appetizers and bar bites. He also demonstrated his kitchen skills by giving us a how-to on making Spanish sausage.
