Celebrity chef Guy Fieri has a lot of delicious meals coming to him now that he's landed a three-year extension with the Food Network. Best known for his hit show Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, Fieri will continue to develop and produce his own content, which is growing in popularity on the Discovery+ app.
Fieri was cooking up his own cheesy favorite on Cheddar this Thursday to celebrate National Grilled Cheese Month. His spin on grilled cheese sandwich featured a savory, five-cheese macaroni and Italian sausage between two slices of King’s Hawaiian bread.
Earlier this year, the restaurateur also inked a deal with the bakery company King’s Hawaiian that will feature the chef in a digital content series and several advertisements.
"I partnered up with these guys last year, and we’ve been having a blast," he said. "We’ve taken some of the famous iconic sandwiches from around the world, and they’ve let me loose."
Also, If you've ever wondered if Fieri’s experiences on his hit show are real, according to him, they are. And, while cameras often capture the host chowing down and enjoying those meals from his various road trips, he said that it hadn't always been the case.
"Back in the day, there were some places we went to that maybe we didn’t check them as detailed as we needed to, but you’ll never see those on the show," he admitted.

A Michigan judge is putting sponges in the hands of shoplifters and ordering them to wash cars in a Walmart parking lot when spring weather arrives. Genesee County Judge Jeffrey Clothier hopes the unusual form of community service discourages people from stealing from Walmart. The judge also wants to reward shoppers with free car washes. Clothier says he began ordering “Walmart wash” sentences this week for shoplifting at the store in Grand Blanc Township. He believes 75 to 100 people eventually will be ordered to wash cars this spring. Clothier says he will be washing cars alongside them when the time comes.
The State Department had been in talks with Elon Musk’s Tesla company to buy armored electric vehicles, but the plans have been put on hold by the Trump administration after reports emerged about a potential $400 million purchase. A State Department spokesperson said the electric car company owned by Musk was the only one that expressed interest back in May 2024. The deal with Tesla was only in its planning phases but it was forecast to be the largest contract of the year. It shows how some of his wealth has come and was still expected to come from taxpayers.
At 100 years old, the Goodyear Blimp is an ageless star in the sky. The 246-foot-long airship will be in the background of the Daytona 500 — flying roughly 1,500 feet above Daytona International Speedway, actually — to celebrate its greatest anniversary tour. Even though remote camera technologies are improving regularly and changing the landscape of aerial footage, the blimp continues to carve out a niche. At Daytona, with the usual 40-car field racing around a 2½-mile superspeedway, views from the blimp aptly provide the scope of the event.
