Food Network host, chef and restaurant owner Bobby Flay will be signing copies of his new cookbook "Bobby Flay's Barbecue Addiction" at the Columbia Wegmans April 24. 

Admission is free, but guests need to get a ticket from the Columbia store's service desk and purchase the book at Wegmans. The store is selling it for $24.50, or 30 percent off list price.
