Is Bobby Flay getting Chelsea Handler all hot and bothered?
The newly divorced chef and the outspoken comedian were spotted having a cozy dinner for two at Blue Plate Oysterette in Santa Monica, Calif., on Wednesday night.
“It looked like a date,” a witness told Page Six.
Although our spy didn’t observe any funny business, the pair sat at a back corner table and did look “flirty.” They pulled up to the restaurant in the same car.
During an interview which taped last Wednesday, Handler said she would be going on a first date with someone famous that night. Though she didn’t name names, Handler revealed that he’s in “an extension of this business” when Ellen DeGeneres asked if he works in show business.
“A friend set us up,” Handler said. “I’ve never met him but I know of him … You’d know him.”
In July, Flay, 51, finalized his contentious divorce from actress Stephanie March — a blond, blue-eyed beauty like Handler — after a decade of marriage. Handler, 40, famously dated hotelier André Balazs but has never been married.
Reps for Flay and Handler did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
