Guy Fieri is the gregarious fella who pops up on The Food Network seemingly every two hours beaming over decadent, vibrant and spicy dishes. To some, he is a spiky-haired brother with a gonzo personality who “built a business empire on the very premise that he is seen as a human punch line”. A few others have never even heard of him but none of these views change who Fieri is. He is in summary an internationally recognized chef with worldwide relevance.

It is safe to say the Columbus born restaurateur is a self taught chef as he did not attend any culinary school but instead got himself a Bachelors in Hospitality Management. After he graduated, he worked for a while in a restaurant before eventually opening his first food joint, Johnny Garlic’s. The accomplished chef was never famous until he won the second season of The Next Food Network Star. Since he won on the show, he has remained as bright as ever and maintains a hardworking reputation that has helped him carve out a niche in the American Culinary scene.
