Breaking Rules in the Kitchen: Chef Stephen Coe's Uncensored Ride from Food Trucks To Beat Bobby Flay
Send us a text
Chef Stephen Coe is a nationally recognized and award-winning chef, best known for his victory against celebrity chef Bobby Flay in “Chopped: Beat Bobby Flay” on the Food Network. Whether in the kitchen or one of his many food trucks, Chef Coe is known for his culinary creativity and ability to compete at any stage against any competition.
Chef Coe’s other notable accomplishments include his “Chopped: Ultimate Redemption” win in 2019, winning the Grand Prize in the Food Network’s “Tyler Florence Recipe Contest” and the American Culinary Foundation’s “Boston Junior Chef of the Year.” He also holds the titles of “World Bacon Champion,” winner of the “World Food Championships” and “Grill Master” from the popular Food Network series “Chopped Grill Masters.”
Boston's "Dark Knight" of the culinary world takes us through his awesome journey from an eight-year-old stuffing donuts to a culinary empire builder with seven restaurants spanning from New England to the Caribbean.
Chef Coe isn't your typical restaurateur. Beyond his innovative European and Caribbean-inspired establishments, he's the creative force behind "Food Truck Chronicles," where he literally drag races food trucks while their crews attempt to cook. His own trucks, "Lobster Love" and "Culinary SWAT," bring theatrical flair to street food – including shooting tacos at customers!
We dive into the competitive cooking world where Chef Coe has made his mark, winning the World Food Championships and facing off against Bobby Flay on television. With uncesored convo, he talks about his unorthodox competitive strategy: psychological warfare through trash-talking that has helped him topple champions. "I like the pressure," he explains. "When I won, chefs were intense, ready to rip your head off – that's what I love."
What truly sets Chef Coe apart is his approach to restaurant culture. Rather than traditional hierarchy, he creates partnerships with his staff, ensuring they're genuinely invested in the business. "I respect the people who work for me," he shares, explaining how this mutual respect creates a loyal team that supports his creative ventures while maintaining excellence across his diverse restaurant portfolio.
Whether discussing his revolt for pretentious judging, revealing his preferred cooking methods, or sharing his philosophy on kitchen leadership, Chef Coe is unapologetically himself. His story offers lessons for aspiring chefs, restaurant owners, and food enthusiasts alike.
