The Mayor of Flavortown, Guy Fieri first stepped onto the scene after winning the second season of "The Next Food Network Star," earning a six-episode commitment for his own cooking show on Food Network. What followed is an empire that now includes hosting 14 different food shows, most notably his long-running "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives," and arguably his true magnum opus, "Guy's Grocery Games."
Back in May, Fieri signed an $80 million deal with the Food Network that made him the highest-paid chef on cable TV. Fieri is also Discovery Network's top-paid host, bringing in over $230 million in ad revenue to the Food Network in 2020.
