Guy Ramsay Ferry, born January 22, 1968, is an American restaurateur, author, and Emmy Award-winning television presenter.
He co-owns three restaurants in California, licenses his name to restaurants in New York City and Las Vegas, Nevada, and is known for several television shows on the Food Network. By mid-2010, the Food Network had made Fieri the "face of the network."
Fieri introduced "element of rowdy, mass-market culture to American food television," according to the New York Times in 2010, and his "prime-time shows attracted more male viewers than any other on the network."
Early life
Guy Ramsay Ferry was born in Columbus, Ohio, on January 22, 1968, the son of Penelope Anne (née Price) and Lewis James Ferry. He grew up in Ferndale, California, in rural Humboldt County. He was a foreign exchange student in France, where he developed his interest in food and cooking during high school.
In 1990, Fieri earned a Bachelor of Science in Hotel Administration from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Personal life
When Lori came into a restaurant he was running in Long Beach, California, Fieri met him. Ferry and Fiori married in 1995 and Ferry changed his surname to Fieri in honor of his paternal grandfather, Giuseppe Fieri, an Italian immigrant who had anglicized his surname to Ferry upon his arrival in the United States. Hunter and Ryder, Jr., and their nephew Jules live in Santa Rosa, California. Fieri's sister died in 2011 from metastatic melanoma, and Fieri and Fieri decided to care for the 11-year-old Jules. In 2021, the Fieris purchased a house in West Palm Beach, Florida.
He has a collection of 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 C10 pickup.
Career
Fieri began his food experiences in grade school in Ferndale by selling pretzels from his "Awesome Pretzel" cart and washing dishes to finance his travel to France to study. On his return to the United States, he worked at the Red Lion Inn in Eureka, California, before heading to Las Vegas for college.
He started as the manager of Parker's Lighthouse, a Stouffer's restaurant in Long Beach, California, right after graduating from college. After three years in southern California, he became the district manager of Louise's Trattoria, in charge of six locations as well as recruiting and training for the restaurants.
In 2013, Fieri received a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Special Class Special for Guy Fieri's Family Reunion.
In late 1996, Fieri and business partner Steve Gruber opened Johnny Garlic's, a "California Pasta Grill" in Santa Rosa, California. In 1999, a third store in Petaluma (since closed), and a fourth in Roseville in late 2008. They expanded Tex Wasabi's (barbecue and sushi) in Santa Rosa in 2003, adding a second location in Sacramento's Arden-Arcade neighborhood in 2007 (which was rebranded as Johnny Garlic's and then closed) in 2003. In 2011, Johnny Garlic's first store in Dublin, California, was opened.
Guy's American Kitchen and Bar, Fieri's first New York City restaurant, opened in 2012 to scathing New York Times coverage by Pete Wells that Larry Olmsted of Forbes called "the most scathing study in the history of the New York Times" and "probably the most widely read restaurant review ever." Fieri, for his part, accused Wells, the country's top-profile reviewer, of using Fieri's fame to advertise his own image. The restaurant's location in the heavily visited Times Square allowed it to appear on Restaurant Business's list of the top 100 independent restaurants ranked by sales for the fourth year in a row. At the end of 2017, it came to an end.
In 2011, Fieri formed Guy's Burger Joint with Carnival Cruise Lines to sell Fieri's burgers around the world. There were 19 restaurants on Carnival's cruise ships as of October 2017, including some serving beer-and-BBQ, Guy's Pig & Anchor Brewhouse.

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, his second series, premiered in April 2007 (a one-hour special aired in November 2006), with Fieri traveling around the country visiting local eateries. The series, according to the New York Times, was "not a cooking show nor a precisely engineered reality show." Ultimate Recipe Showdown, co-hosted by Marc Summers, premiered on February 17, 2008, and aired for three seasons. Guy Off the Hook debuted on Food Network on September 14, 2008. This unique studio audience display lasted until the end of 2008, but the extra expense of staging an audience show resulted in no increase in ratings, and the strategy was not scrapped. Fieri hosted a one-hour special titled Guy's Family Feast on Thanksgiving 2008. The special, which was broadcast live on November 28, 2008, featured the "Guy Off the Hook" set. In 2007, and 2009, Fieri appeared on other Food Network shows, including Dinner: Impossible, Ace of Cakes, and The Best Thing I Ever Ate.
