Guy Fieri
Guy Fieri, chef, restaurateur, New York Times bestselling-author, Emmy Award-winning television host and executive producer began his love affair with food at the age of ten, selling soft pretzels from a three-wheeled bicycle cart he built with his father called “The Awesome Pretzel Cart.” After selling pretzels and washing dishes, Guy earned enough money to pursue his dream of studying abroad as an exchange student in Chantilly, France. There he gained a profound appreciation for international cuisine that further strengthened his passion for food. He returned to the U.S. and graduated from the University of Nevada Las Vegas with a degree in Hospitality Management. In 2006, Guy won Food Network Star and since that time, Guy has created a thriving culinary empire as the host and producer of top-rated TV shows including the long-running, Emmy award-nominated Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Guy’s Grocery Games, Tournament of Champions, Guy’s Ranch Kitchen (for which Guy earned a Daytime Emmy-nomination for Outstanding Culinary Host), the timely documentary Restaurant Hustle 2020: All on the Line and more. A prolific chef, he has opened over 85 restaurants around the world and at sea, from Las Vegas to Atlantic City; from South Africa and Dubai; along with the all-new delivery concept Flavortown Kitchen; as well as authored six best-selling cookbooks.
