Where Is 'Beat Bobby Flay: Holiday Throwdown' Filmed? Hosts and Judges 2022

Holiday Throwdown is a US-based production. The precise filming location has not yet been made public. Previously, Austin, Texas, USA, served as the location for the television program Throwdown with Bobby Flay. Therefore, they may have shot this new show nearby or in the same place.

In many respects, Austin-based filmmakers—and particularly the iconic works of Richard Linklater—have created a siren song for the city. At the same time, he served as the unwitting guardian of the past.

For better or worse, Austin's presence in the film industry has always attracted people to this peculiar area we call home with its brilliance, beauty, eccentricities, and weirdness.

Austin's face has changed in nearly three decades since the debut of the iconic independent film Slacker. This formerly modest hippy retreat has grown into a thriving metropolis, partly because of its appearance in well-known movies.

During the Thanksgiving cooking competition between Tiffani Faison and Jet Tila in the season premiere, Bobby Flay invites his buddy Scott Conant as the guest host. The winner advances to round two and competes against Anne Burrell.

American celebrity chef Conant also owns restaurants and writes cookbooks. At 11, he enrolled in cooking lessons at the nearby community college and started cooking immediately. He began studying culinary skills at W.F. Kaynor Technical High School when he was 15.

He later attended the Culinary Institute of America (CIA). Conant's internship at the renowned New York City restaurant San Domenico during his time at the Culinary Institute of America significantly influenced the young chef.

After graduating, he spent a year in Munich, Germany, to hone his pastry skills at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof. He returned to San Domenico and the United States, where he worked as a sous chef.

Cesare Casella chose him to serve as chef de cuisine at the Upper East Side restaurant Il Toscanaccio in 1995. Later, he rose to executive chef at City Eatery in New York City's Bowery neighborhood.

After publishing The Scarpetta Cookbook, inspired by dishes from the restaurant, Conant went on to establish the Scarpetta brand to critical praise with restaurants in New York City, Toronto, Miami, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas.
