When Bobby Flay looks at a map of the United States, he doesnβt see statesβhe sees ingredients: wild Alaskan king salmon, tiny Maine blueberries, fiery southwestern chiles. The Food Network celebrity and renowned chef-restaurateur created his Bar Americain restaurants as our countryβs answer to French bistrosβto celebrate Americaβs regional flavors and dishes, interpreted as only Bobby Flay can.
Now you can rediscover American cuisine at home with the recipes in Bobby Flayβs Bar Americain Cookbook. Start with a Kentucky 95βa riff on a classic French cocktail but made with bourbonβand Barbecued Oysters with Black PepperβTarragon Butter. Choose from sumptuous soups and salads, including a creamy clam chowder built on a sweet potato base, and Kentucky ham and ripe figs over a bed of arugula dressed with molasses-mustard dressing. Entrees will fill your family family-style, from red snapper with a crisp skin of plantains accompanied by avocado, mango, and black beans to a host of beef steaks, spice-rubbed and accompanied by side dishes such as Brooklyn hash browns and cauliflower and goat cheese gratin. Bar Americainβs famed brunch dishes and irresistible desserts round out this collection of Americaβs favorite flavors.
