Page Six<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cI was at a hotel with some girlfriends,\u201d the comedian recalled. \u201cHe knew the hotel well. He wanted to order \u2026 food for us. He was like, \u2018Let me order your food for you. I love that hotel\u2019\u201d.<\/p>\n
Handler claimed Flay, 61, ordered the food \u2014 but the hotel brought her the bill.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I\u2019m like, \u2018What?\u2019\u201d she remembered thinking. \u201cAnd then somebody was like, \u2018Oh yeah. He\u2019s really cheap.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018Oh, I hate cheap\u2019\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re penurious, I\u2019m not interested in you. I\u2019m generous and I like people to be generous with their money,\u201d Handler shared.<\/p>\n
Despite the food service blunder, Handler later went on a date with the Beat Bobby Flay star, but \u201cit was not a match\u201d.<\/p>\n
Handler did not elaborate further, simply saying, \u201cIt was just like, messy\u201d.<\/p>\n
Page Six has reached out to Flay\u2019s spokesman for comment but did not immediately hear back.<\/p>\n
In November 2024, Flay revealed on Cavallari\u2019s podcast that she once rejected his flirty messages.<\/p>\n
\u201cI DMed you and I said to you \u2026 \u2018I\u2019m going to be in Nashville for one night. Can I take you to dinner?\u2019\u201d he said at the time.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you literally said something to me like, \u2018I\u2019m already dating somebody,\u2019\u201d Flay recalled.<\/p>\n
The Hills star, 39, claimed she actually responded by saying she was \u201cburnt out\u201d with dating \u2014 but Flay doubled down.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, you said, \u2018I\u2019ve already started seeing somebody!\u2019 And I said, \u2018I just want to go to dinner with you,\u2019\u201d he replied with a laugh, explaining that he just wanted to meet up as friends.<\/p>\n
The cookbook author is currently in a relationship with fellow chef Brooke Williamson.<\/p>\n
