Bobby Flay Throws Down: Says He's Not Taking Over Espresso in Sag Harbor
However, Espresso is still closing up shop.
Bobby Flay won't be opening a restaurant in Sag Harbor, after all.
Back in December, Jennifer Gould Kiel at The New York Post reported the Food Network chef was in discussions to take over Espresso Italian Market & Grill, a Sag Harbor Village favorite eatery.
However, Flay retweeted a tweet from Gould Keil on Twitter that the rumors were false.
