Flay says Food Network had to black out his shirt reading “THIS IS MY LAST IRON CHEF BATTLE EVER," and executives weren't happy that they weren't given a head's up. “I’ve done over 100 Iron Chef competitions, and frankly they are exhausting,” Flay said of his decision to quit. “They are exhausting physically but, even moreso, they are exhausting emotionally.”
