Food Network and Guy Fieri Sign Multi-Year Agreement Following Collaboration with Stratford, Connecticut Brewers
Guy Fieri, the renowned chef and host of Triple D’s, has recently inked a fresh multi-year agreement with the Food Network. This collaboration comes on the heels of his partnership with Two Roads Brewing in Stratford, Connecticut, where they are working on a line of spiked beverages called ‘Flavortown Spiked’. Under this new deal, Fieri has committed to another three years with the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned cable network. Known as the “face of the network,” Fieri brings a lively, mainstream appeal to American food television, and his prime-time shows attract a larger male audience than any other programs on the network, as reported by The New York Times. Notably, Fieri had previously struck a similar deal in April 2021. According to Variety, this latest agreement with the Food Network is valued at over $100 million.
In his most recent deal, Guy Fieri has extended his tenure as the Food Network channel’s highest-paid on-air personality. Surpassing his previous $80 million multi-year agreement in 2021, Fieri’s new deal will take him to the 20-year mark with the network. Under this agreement, he will continue producing more episodes of his Emmy-nominated show “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,” as well as additional episodes of “Guy’s Grocery Games” and “Tournament of Champions.” Fieri will also collaborate with Food Network on new projects through his production banner, Knuckle Sandwich. Betsy Ayala, Warner Bros. Discovery’s head of food content, expressed her admiration for Fieri’s unique persona, stating, “Recognized everywhere he goes, there is only one Guy Fieri. Guy’s love of food, restaurants, and the chefs behind the dishes, combined with his extraordinary passion for crafting series with stories that resonate, make extending this partnership a clear choice in our mission to deliver to viewers more of what they love,” as reported by Variety.
