    They fixed your brain when you were young.

    I was meeting a friend once who already was in the theater waiting and walked in with two giant bags of Taco Bell that we were splitting. And a drink.

    Guy Fieri



    Guy Ramsay Fieri (US: /fiˈɛdi/,[6]Italian: [ˈfjɛːri]; Ferry;[7][8] born January 22, 1968)[8] is an American restaurateur, author, and an Emmy Award winning television presenter. He co-owns three restaurants in California,[9] licenses his name to restaurants in New York City and Las Vegas, Nevada,[10]and is known for hosting various television series on the Food Network. By mid-2010, the Food Network had made Fieri the "face of the network". In 2010, The New York Timesreported that Fieri brought an "element of rowdy, mass-market culture to American food television", and that his "prime-time shows attract more male viewers than any others on the network".[11]


    Early life

    Fieri was born Guy Ramsay Ferry on January 22, 1968,[8] in Columbus, Ohio,[12] the son of Penelope Anne (née Price) and Lewis James Ferry. He grew up in Ferndale in rural Humboldt County, California. During high school, he was a foreign exchange student in France, where he developed his interest in food and cooking.[12]


    Career

    Fieri began his association with food in grade school in Ferndale, by selling pretzels from his "Awesome Pretzel" cart and washing dishes to finance his trip to France to study.[13] On his return to the United States, he worked at the restaurant at the Red Lion Inn in Eureka, California, until he went to Las Vegas for college.[13] Fieri attended the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Hotel Management in 1990.[14][15] Soon after graduation, he went to work for Stouffer's, as manager of a Long Beach, California, restaurant called Parker's Lighthouse.[11] After three years in southern California, he became district manager of Louise's Trattoria, managing six locations along with recruiting and training for the restaurants.

    Restaurants
    In late 1996, Fieri and business partner Steve Gruber opened Johnny Garlic's, a "California Pasta Grill" in Santa Rosa, California. A second location opened in Windsor in 1999, a third in Petaluma in 2000 or 2001 (since closed), and a fourth in Roseville in late 2008. Subsequently, they developed Tex Wasabi's (barbecue and sushi) in 2003 in Santa Rosa, adding a second location in Sacramento's Arden-Arcade area in 2007 (which was rebranded as Johnny Garlic's, and then subsequently closed). An additional Johnny Garlic's was opened in Dublin, California, in 2011. His first New York Cityrestaurant, Guy's American Kitchen and Bar, opened in 2012 to scathing New York Timescoverage by Pete Wells that Larry Olmsted of Forbes called "the most scathing review in the history of the New York Times", and "likely the most widely read restaurant review ever." Fieri, for his part, accused Wells, the nation's highest profile reviewer, of using Fieri's fame as a platform for advancing his own prestige.[16][17]Despite appearing on Restaurant Business's list of the top 100 independent restaurants as ranked by sales for four years in a row, the restaurant announced plans to close at the end of 2017.[18] In 2011, Fieri partnered with Carnival Cruise lines to create Guy's Burger Joint to sell Fieri's burgers fleet-wide. As of October 2017, there were 19 restaurants on Carnival's cruise ships, including some serving beer-and-BBQ, Guy's Pig & Anchor Smokehouse Brewhouse.[19][20]

    In April 2014, Guy Fieri's Vegas Kitchen and Bar opened in Las Vegas.[21] In 2015, Guy Fieri's Baltimore Kitchen & Bar opened in Baltimore's Horseshoe Casino.[22] In 2018, Fieri collaborated with Planet Hollywood founder Robert Earl to open fast-food chicken sandwich shop Chicken Guy! at Disney Springsin Walt Disney World.[23]

    Television
    After winning the second season of The Next Food Network Star[24] on April 23, 2006, Fieri was awarded a six-episode commitment for his own cooking show on Food Network. Guy's Big Bite premiered on June 25, 2006 with the most recent episode airing on November 16, 2016.[25]

    Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, his second series, premiered in April 2007 (a one-hour special aired in November 2006), with Fieri traveling the country visiting local eateries. The New York Times called the series "not a cooking show as much as a carefully engineered reality show".[11] Ultimate Recipe Showdown, co-hosted with Marc Summers, debuted on February 17, 2008, and aired for three seasons. On September 14, 2008, Guy Off the Hookdebuted on Food Network. This special studio audience show aired through the end of 2008, but the extra cost of staging an audience show did not result in a ratings bump and the concept was discontinued. For Thanksgiving 2008, Fieri hosted a one-hour special titled Guy's Family Feast. He used the "Guy Off the Hook" set for the special, which was broadcast live, on November 28, 2008. Fieri appeared on other Food Network programs such as Dinner: Impossible in 2007 and 2009, Paula's Party, Ace of Cakes, and The Best Thing I Ever Ate.

    In December 2009, NBC named Fieri as the host of the game show Minute to Win It, which premiered in March 2010 and aired for two seasons.[26] On May 13, 2012, NBC announced that the game show would not be renewed for a third season, citing high production costs and low ratings.

    In January 2012, Fieri was one of the two team captains (along with Rachael Ray) in the Food Network reality series Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off.[28] A second season of Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off began airing on Food Network on January 6, 2013. A chef challenge show, Guy's Grocery Games, started on October 27, 2013, on the Food Network. It features four cooks who battle through three rounds, and are judged by three judges.[29]

    His latest series, Guy's Family Road Trip, was chosen as the 2017 lead-out show from season 13 of Food Network Star. It previewed on August 13 of that year.

    Advertising
    Fieri appeared in promotions for Flowmaster, a California-based auto exhaust parts manufacturer.[30] In 2008 and 2009, he was the spokesperson for T.G.I. Friday's.[31] In 2010, he appeared in a commercial for Aflac named "Spicy".[32]

    Other projects
    In 2009, Fieri began touring with the Guy Fieri Roadshow, a multi-state food tour that featured some of his fellow Food Network personalities.[33][34] He also appeared in regional Food Network events, such as the 2012 Atlantic City Food and Wine Festival[35]and the 2012 South Beach Food and Wine Festival, where he officiated at 101 gay weddings.[36]

    In 2015, Fieri officiated at the wedding of celebrity chef Art Smith at Miami Beach. The wedding, which included over two dozen same-sex couples, was held to celebrate Florida's Supreme Court lifting the state ban on same-sex marriage.[37]

    Fieri owns a vineyard and sells his wine under the label Hunt & Ryde, named after his sons Hunter and Ryder.[38]


    Personal life

    Fieri met his wife Lori when she came into a restaurant he was managing in Long Beach, California.[19] The couple married in 1995.[39]When Fieri got married, he changed his surname from Ferry to Fieri as an ode to his paternal grandfather, Giuseppe Fieri, an Italian immigrant who had Anglicized his surname to Ferry upon his arrival in the United States.[40]They live in Santa Rosa, California, with their sons, Hunter and Ryder.[39]

    He collects classic American cars, including a 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle, a 1968 Pontiac Firebird, a 1976 Jeep CJ-5, a 1969 Chevrolet Impala SS, and a 1967 Chevrolet C10pickup.[12]

    we have 2 hens already. we got some fertilized eggs to incubate for my gf’s class and we are gonna keep the ones that make it. out of seven eggs only one of them is probably not going to hatch

    they’re extremely low maintenance. a $10 bag of food lasts like 2 months and they will eat practically any leftovers or scraps that are about to go bad so we don’t have a lot of food waste either. also it’s nice to be able to just walk out in the backyard and grab some eggs when you’re about to make breakfast
