Bobby Flay is toasting to Anne Burrell.

The celebrity chef, 60, shared a social media tribute Wednesday to Burrell, who was found dead in her Brooklyn home at age 55 earlier this week.

“‘Worst Cooks in America’ was the most entertaining show on TV. All of your co-hosts, myself included, were simply tagging along for the Anne Burrell experience,” Flay shared on his Instagram Stories.

“The biggest gift I received from AB was introducing me to the world of Maine Coon Cats (including Nacho)… a gift that I’ll cherish forever,” he mentioned, referencing his cat Nacho.

Flay’s tribute featured a picture of Burrell holding two Calico Maine Coon cats.

The “Beat Bobby Flay” host posted about his pet cat Nacho just two days before Burrell died.

“The formula for Made by Nacho: Take one chef, add a lifelong love for cats, and let it develop over decades,” he wrote next to an Instagram video featuring the feline, adding, “This is what a forever cat dad looks like.”

Burrell co-hosted the Food Network series “Worst Cooks in America,” which Flay appeared on as one of the celebrity chefs for four seasons.

The shocking news of Burrell’s death broke on Tuesday.

The New York City Police Department revealed that Burrell was found “unconscious and unresponsive” at her home in Brooklyn after she allegedly went into cardiac arrest.

Her husband, Stuart Claxton, reportedly discovered the star unconscious on the shower floor, about six or seven hours after he last saw her alive at 1 a.m.

After calling 911, Claxton was allegedly advised to begin performing CPR on Burrell. She was pronounced dead at the scene once emergency services arrived at around 7:50 a.m.

Her cause of death has yet to be confirmed.

The night before she passed away, Burrell performed improv at a venue in Brooklyn. A witness claimed that Burrell “was in great spirits” during and after the show.

In a statement to People, Burrell’s family said: “Anne was a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend — her smile lit up every room she entered.”

“Anne’s light radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions across the world. Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal,” the family added.

Numerous stars have paid tribute to Burrell including Rachael Ray, who was a bridesmaid in Burrell’s 2021 wedding to Claxton.

“I can’t quite believe it — such a strong, vibrant, fearless woman, so full of life and love, could be gone so soon,” Ray, 56, wrote on Instagram, adding that she was “truly shaken” by Burrell’s death.

“Anne honored me by asking me to be her bridesmaid, something I’d only done once before for my sister,” Ray went on. “Despite being surrounded by incredible chefs, she never once made me feel self-conscious about not being one — she always treated me as one of the gang.”

The Food Network similarly honored Burrell in a statement to The Post.

“Anne was a remarkable person and culinary talent — teaching, competing and always sharing the importance of food in her life and the joy that a delicious meal can bring,” the network said.
