Chopped judge and Iron Chef Alex Guarnaschelli [1] shared a sweet Mother's Day [2] moment with an Instagram photo of a note from her daughter, Ava. "My mom is the best," Ava wrote, followed by one of the many reasons: "She beat Bobby Flay." Every Food Network [3] fan who's ever watched Beat Bobby Flay knows that's almost an impossible feat and certainly earns you bragging rights, especially if you're the winner's daughter. Even Alex got a kick out of the hilarious Bobby Flay [4] dis, and she captioned the photo, "The kid crushes me #mothersday."

Adorable! Check out Alex's full post below, and then read about even more of our favorite inspiring chefs who are also moms [5].
