Bobby Flay Shows Off His Dance Moves in New Pepsi Commercial: 'I Love to Dance More Than Anything' (Exclusive)

Bobby Flay has moves!

The Food Network star showed off her dancing skills for Pepsi’s latest commercial. The spot, which is part of Pepsi’s “Grills Night Out” campaign, shows Flay buttoning up his apron before running his hands through his hair and shaking his hips. He shows off a few more moves after lighting up the grill.

“I have to tell you, it’s one of my favorite things. I love dancing more than anything,” Flay, 59, tells PEOPLE.

The Defeated Bobby Flay star grew up in New York where as kids we “danced on the street corner,” he says. – I was a kid who always went to clubs.

Pepsi is encouraging families to serve their drinks during summer parties — and have fun with it, as Flay does in the ad. (Two other ads in the campaign feature chefs swinging behind grills.)

“When Pepsi said to me, ‘We want you to dance in this commercial.’ I said, ‘Okay.’ I think they thought I was going to say, ‘No, I can’t do that.’ But I was thrilled,” he tells PEOPLE.

The celebrity chef is a great entertainer. “I always have a bunch of people over at my house in the summer,” says Flay, who often hosts at his Los Angeles home and summer retreat in the Hamptons, NY. “I’m not only an innkeeper, I’m also a caterer. So when people come to my house, they expect to get three meals a day. It’s not a problem, I like doing it.”

To reduce stress, Flay decides to serve everything family style.

“Everybody wants to know what’s good to feed a crowd that everyone will enjoy. I tell people, make a taco bar,” he says. “I do everything family, whether it’s a burger bar or a taco bar.”

– I will cook shrimp, I will cook some white fish, usually in the same marinade or spices – he adds. “And then I’ll make salsas and relishes, and I’ll make tortillas. I’ll make some guacamole, something crunchy — like a savory relish — and I’ll let people make their own.”

This also applies to drinks (including Pepsi’s new lime and peach flavors). Flay likes to set up “buckets, like those anodized metal buckets,” he says, “tons of ice, and then put your drinks in there. It works really well.”
