Guy Fieri is known for his Food Network television shows and his restaurants.  “Fieri never attended culinary school, but he has written several popular cookbooks of original recipes.” ( p. 4)

During his elementary school years, Guy and his father worked together to help Guy make a business selling pretzels from a three-wheeled bicycle push cart.  He sold pretzels for six years. During his high school years, Guy moved to France as an exchange student, after meeting his mother’s requirement of learning the French language to her satisfaction.  Back in the United States, he attended the University of Nevada Las Vegas earning a degree in “hospitality and management”. Guy first managed a restaurant, then a restaurant chain. Then came his own restaurant, with a partner, Johnny Garlic’s California Pasta Grill,, followed by Tex Wasabi’s Rock n’ Roll Sushi BBQ, and then Guy’s American Kitchen and Bar. Guy was encouraged to enter a Food Network contest which he won out of more than 1000 entries. The prize was six episodes of Guy’s first show- Guy’s Big Bite. His next show- Diners, Drive-ins and Dives evolved from a TV special in November 2006.

Fieri works on ways “to educate kids on healthy eating habits” (p. 26) through his TV shows and through the California State Legislature.
