Guy Fieri is a household name at this point. The restauranteur co-owns three restaurants in California and is known for all his work on The Food Network. In mid-2010, Fieri was made the “face of the Food Network.”
Fieri hails from Columbus, Ohio. As a high schooler, he was a foreign exchange student in France. Interestingly, Fieri’s love for food goes way back– all the way to when he was an elementary schooler. When he was in grade school, he sold pretzels under the name “Awesome Pretzel” from a cart.
Years later, he began working the Red Lion restaurant in Eureka, California. Fieri subsequently attended the University of Las Vegas. He graduated with a BS in Hotel Management.
In 1996, Fieri and a business partner opened up the California Pasta Grill in Santa Rosa, California. They have since opened more locations.
In 2006, Fieri won the second season of Food Network Star. He then earned a six-episode commitment for his own cooking show. The show Guy’s Big Bite, premiered in 2006.
In an interview with Thrillest last year, Fieri was asked who his heroes were growing up. He said, “My biggest hero in the whole world was my dad. That’s not some goofy, delusional kid thing where his dad is this guy that he didn’t get the love from his dad. My dad’s dad died when he was a kid. My dad was in the Navy. My dad was self-made. My dad built our house. He built his own businesses. My dad donates all his time to community. He’s always been this guy that I aspired to be, and still do.”
Be sure to tune into Guy’s Grocery Games live online at 9pm ET/PT.
