Guy Fieri’s famous dishes can be delivered to your front door through the chef’s new ghost kitchen restaurant chain.
What’s going on
- Guy Fieri launched a new delivery-only ghost kitchen restaurant chain called Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Kitchen that, as its website states, offers customers “all of Flavortown’s favorites ... straight to (their) doorstep.”
- The new restaurant is the latest entrant in a series of ghost kitchen restaurants that have launched since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, like the popular YouTuber MrBeast’s new chain MrBeast Burger.
- According to Fox News, Fieri’s chain is a partnership between the chef and Robert Earl of Earl Enterprises, who previously collaborated with Fieri on his Chicken Guy chain.
- Similar to other ghost kitchens, Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Kitchen is preparing its orders out of Earl Enterprises-owned locations like Bertucci’s, Brio Italian Grille and Buca di Beppo, according to Restaurant Businesses.
- Food & Wine reports that Fieri also partnered up with Virtual Dining Concepts, a business that specializes in helping restaurateurs launch delivery-only businesses, to help run the new venture.
