Bobby Flay Fans Send Love: 'The Grief is So Intense'
Bobby Flay Fans Send Love: 'The Grief is So Intense' originally appeared on Parade. Celebrity was well known for his giant, fluffy orange Maine Coon named Nacho. He would frequently make appearances on Flay's shows, and it is clear from all the posts over the years that Nacho was a special boy. On July 3, Flay shared with his followers that the tree he planted in Nacho's memory is growing so big and has the most beautiful flowers in and around it. "I planted a tree for Nacho. It's surrounded by orange flowers. The tree has flowers too, which bloom every summer," read the video captions. It ends by zooming in on a plaque that reads, "In loving memory of Nacho Flay. 10/07/2014 to 10/17/2023. Though Nacho crossed the Rainbow Bridge, his magic was truly special. Rest peacefully. Forever in our hearts." The comments are full of his fans and fellow Food Network stars sending him love and praising the "beautiful tribute" to his beloved Nacho."Love this," writes Chef Michael Symon. Food Network star Sunny Anderson added, "Nice, Bobby." "What a beautiful tribute to Nacho!" wrote Chef Viet Pham. Chef Maneet Chauhan and BBQ Brawl host/judge Carson Kressley also left heart-eye emojis. "Love how he has your name. Our pets are more than just pets - they're family. ❤️," wrote one fan. Another added, "Nacho was such an icon in every episode. 😻.""What a lovely idea! Such a beautiful tree & a wonderful way to celebrate the life of your beautiful boy," wrote a third fan. "What a beautiful tribute to your beloved Nacho. I lost my girl on the same day he passed away. The grief is so intense. Just know I feel your pain 😻😻," wrote a fourth fan. Flay has launched a brand of cat food called Made by Nacho that he developed with Chewy. Flay's next Maine Coon after Nacho's passing is Canelo, who is an orange boy just like Nacho was, and whom Flay once referred to as "our hungriest little taste tester" in re: Made by Nacho's food. Canelo joined fellow Maine Coon Stella in Flay's household. When Food Network's Anne Burrell died, Flay credited her with launching his love for Maine Coons. Burrell famously had two as well. When she died, Flay wrote on his Instagram stories, "Worst Cooks in America was the funnest show on TV. All of your co-hosts (me included) were just alongside for the Anne Burrell ride. The greatest gift I got from AB was turning me on to a world of Maine Coon cats (including Nacho)… a gift that I'll have forever. #unforgettable." 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Bobby Flay Fans Send Love: 'The Grief is So Intense' first appeared on Parade on Jul 4, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 4, 2025, where it first appeared.

Dartmouth animal shelter opens rainbow bridge to honour beloved pets
Social Sharing Bide Awhile Animal Shelter in Dartmouth, N.S., has a new addition to its memorial garden for pets — a permanent rainbow bridge. Organizers say it is designed to comfort grieving pet owners and celebrate the bonds between humans and their animal companions. It was revealed to the public at the shelter's annual spring open house on Saturday. The rainbow bridge is a metaphor for the crossing where pets wait for their owners in the afterlife. It is believed to derive from a 1959 poem written by Edna Clyne in Scotland after the death of her Labrador retriever. The bridge leads into Trio's Garden, a memorial garden named after a cat who lived at the shelter for 23 years. "This is our rainbow bridge, a way to symbolize the memorial aspect of our garden," said Sam Cole, Bide Awhile's communications and marketing co-ordinator. "It's not a cemetery. It's a place to symbolize and memorialize the relationship you had with your pet ...so you can reflect on the time that you spent together, all the good memories." Visitors can memorialize their pets by hanging collars, name tags or other mementos along the bridge railings The garden already features numerous plaques, statues and plantings dedicated to departed pets. Cole said the space helps with the grieving process. "After the rainbow bridge there will be another hello," she said. Pet owners can arrange memorials by contacting the shelter to discuss options ranging from engraved plaques to planting their pets favourite flowers. The unveiling coincided with the shelter's annual spring open house, one of its biggest fundraising events of the year. With about 600 animals adopted annually, primarily cats, Cole said the open house lets the community see the impact their donations and help have in keeping the shelter going. It also gave them a chance to meet Kiki, the shelter's lone canine resident, who is being acclimatized before being made available for adoption.
