CinemaBlend The Mayor of Flavortown just got paid. Guy Fieri, ubiquitous host of the infinitely bingeable Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, just received a contract extension of three years from his host network, the Food Network, ensuring his status as the face of that channel for the foreseeable future. Extending Fieriâs contract is a no-brainer for the Food Network. Not since Paula Deen dropped numerous food items into a vat of butter has the network had as recognizable of a personality in its broadcasting stable. But itâs the amount of money that Fieri is now making that has social media weighing in with scorching hot takes that would make the Triple D host sweat.
