Guy Fieri is one person that hasn t slowed down a bit in the past year. In fact, last March he partnered with the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation, to create the Restaurant Employee Relief Fund (RERF). Over 43,000 restaurant workers qualified for $500 grants, and 60% of the recipients were female. That money was raised in seven weeks, and put Guy on Bloomberg s 50 People Who Defined an Unprecedented Year.

Guy didn t forget about his Food Network fans, either. He created fun new ways to showcase Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, by preparing meals from some of our favorite chefs. They had to send Guy all of the ingredients to his house in California, and walk him through prep via live stream.
Ghost kitchens have proliferated during the pandemic due to the demand for takeout food, but local restaurateurs say celebrities like Guy Fieri who open ghost chains to cash in on their fame are hurting struggling, small businesses.

To call Guy Fieri an interesting TV personality is certainly a massive understatement. He loves food (naturally), has an awkward fashion sense, owns a vineyard in addition to restaurants, and used his charisma to raise millions of dollars for the newly minted “
Restaurant Employee Relief Fund” in just a few months last year. But, above all, he loves to collect both classic and modern American cars. 26 photos
One of his daily rides is just as eccentric as Fieri himself, as that s a massive Duramax-equipped 2018 GMC Sierra Denali 3500HD. Although it towers over much of the surrounding traffic, the white behemoth would have remained inconspicuous if not for the famous presenter’s recent desire to perform some upgrades.
