Best known for hosting several television shows, Guy Fieri is an American restaurateur whose career launched following his win of the second season of The Next Food Network Star. Before this win that would ultimately bring him a six-episode series for his very own cooking show, Fieri worked in various restaurants until becoming district manager for Louise’s Trattoria and starting his own restaurant in 1996. He became an unusual icon both in the culinary world and in popular culture, recognized by his trademark bleached hair, bowling shirts, tattoos, and “rock ‘n’ roll” personality.
