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.
Disney content has gone dark on YouTube TV, leaving subscribers of the Google-owned live streaming platform without access to major networks like ESPN and ABC. That’s because the companies have failed to reach a new licensing deal to keep Disney channels on YouTube TV. Depending on how long it lasts, the dispute could particularly impact coverage of U.S. college football matchups over the weekend — on top of other news and entertainment disruptions that have already arrived. In the meantime, YouTube TV subscribers who want to watch Disney channels could have little choice other than turning to the company’s own platforms, which come with their own price tags.
President Donald Trump said he has decided to lower his combined tariff rates on imports of Chinese goods to 47% after talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping on curbing fentanyl trafficking.
Universal Music Group and AI platform Udio have settled a copyright lawsuit and will collaborate on a new music creation and streaming platform. The companies announced on Wednesday that they reached a compensatory legal settlement and new licensing agreements. These agreements aim to provide more revenue opportunities for Universal's artists and songwriters. The rise of AI song generation tools like Udio has disrupted the music streaming industry, leading to accusations from record labels. This deal marks the first since Universal and others sued Udio and Suno last year. Financial terms of the settlement weren't disclosed.
Nvidia on Wednesday became the first public company to reach a market capitalization of $5 trillion. The ravenous appetite for the Silicon Valley company’s chips is the main reason that the company’s stock price has increased so rapidly since early 2023.
