Celebrity chefs Bobby Flay and Brooke Williamson are marking a significant milestone in their relationship with a trip that combines romance and culinary adventure.
In an interview with People at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival, Flay said he and Williamson plan to celebrate their first anniversary with a five-day trip to Tokyo. The couple, who went public with their relationship last year, will commemorate one year together by traveling to one of the world’s most celebrated food capitals.
“Our one-year anniversary of being together is coming up, so that’s what we’re up to,” Flay told People. “We’re actually going to go to Tokyo.”
The anniversary getaway reflects a shared passion that first connected them – food. Both chefs have built celebrated careers on and off television, and Tokyo offers an ideal setting for two culinary minds eager to explore new flavors and techniques.

While Flay has traveled extensively for his work, he said Williamson has taken the lead on planning the Tokyo itinerary. “She’s doing them all,” Flay told People, referring to the dinner reservations and food stops they plan to experience. He added that he does not consider himself an expert on Tokyo, making Williamson the perfect person to guide their culinary exploration.
Tokyo’s vibrant dining scene, known for its precision and creativity, provides the perfect backdrop for the couple’s celebration. As two chefs who appreciate craftsmanship and innovation, Flay and Williamson plan to immerse themselves in the city’s culture, from neighborhood eateries to world-renowned restaurants.
Their anniversary trip highlights how the pair continues to support each other’s interests and strengths. By letting Williamson steer the plans, Flay showcased the easy balance they share both personally and professionally.
