"That is like the Beyoncé of pastries"
"They weren't going to renew his contract and the outrage from fans was so high they had no choice but to agree to his terms. He is definitely the Beyonce. Alex is my favorite chef on the channel but she doesn't have the star power that Flay has."

The recent use of this name is due to the American singer Beyoncé Knowles (born 1981), after her mother's maiden name, which was different from her own parents' surname, Beyincé, due to a clerical error on her birth certificate. It is probably derived from the French surname Boyancé.
