Among the revelations, he mentioned that Chef Brooke Williamson has expressed a strong desire to compete on the show for several years. Fans are now left wondering if future seasons could feature a compelling twist, such as a boyfriend versus girlfriend showdown, considering Flay and Williamson publicly announced their relationship earlier this year.
BBQ Brawl has seen a variety of chefs taking on mentorship roles, including well-known figures like Michael Symon and Sunny Anderson, with judges such as Chef Rodney Scott and Chef Brooke Williamson since season two. Flay’s comments reflect the friendly yet competitive atmosphere of the show, where he highlighted the talent within his team this season, noting that they will likely face tough competition from the other finalists.
