ActiveRainPhotoBloggerContest, The Mesa Grill Takes On a New Look

Ah, it's dinner time and my mouth is watering for some spicy food. When the mood for spicy food strikes, the Bobby Flay cook books and recipes surface. We even have his 'Boy Meets Grill' cookbook on the shelf.

Bobby Flay, undisputed Southwestern Chef extraordinaire owns the search term 'Mesa Grill' on Google. Every link on the first page goes to Mesa Grill New York, Mesa Grill Las Vegas or Mesa Grill Bahamas. You'll easily find links to Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill reviews, menus, online reservations, walking directions, hours, maps, wine lists, recipes, cookbooks, sauces, rubs, and even gift cards. Heck, I can even sign up for his mailing list or click over to the Kohl's link to see videos for his product demos and grilling tips. On to search results page two and it's simply more of the same. Total Bobby Flay domination! Went to www.msn.com and then www.yahoo.com and had the same experience.

As a matter of fact, the search results are so consistently skewed to Bobby Flay that Mesa Grill is about the last name that I would give to my new restaurant in any state of the US. Bobby Flay pretty well owns the term Mesa Grill. Ask 10 people who owns Mesa Grill and probably 9 of them will confidently respond with ‘Bobby Flay'.

When travelling my husband and I like to dine at our old favorite restaurants and mix in a few new spots to keep things fresh. Yet no visit to New York City or Las Vegas is complete without a visit to Mesa Grill. Mesa Grill is on the ‘must visit' list every trip.

We took a cruise and recently travelled to Juneau, Alaska and heard there was a Mesa Grill in town, so we headed on over. Guess this Mesa Grill isn't owned by Bobby Flay, I'm just sayin', ya know?

At least I don't think that's his pickup truck in the owner's spot...
