Guy Fieri, the spiky-haired culinary icon known for his infectious enthusiasm and bold flavors, has been in the headlines for more than just his signature dishes lately. As autumn 2025 rolls in, Fieri’s life is a whirlwind of personal milestones, real estate moves, and the ever-growing influence of his food television empire—an empire that’s now inspiring a new generation of food show hosts, including an unlikely contender from the world of professional wrestling.
On September 27, 2025, Fieri took to Instagram to mark what would have been his late sister Morgan Fieri’s 53rd birthday. Morgan, who passed away in 2011 after a battle with metastatic melanoma, remains a central figure in Fieri’s life and legacy. The celebrity chef posted a heartfelt tribute, writing, "Happy birthday to my sis Morgan. Would have been 53 today." According to People, Fieri also shared a photo of a tattoo on his forearm, a permanent homage featuring the word "namaste" above Morgan’s head and her name below her feet. The tattoo is just one of several ways Fieri keeps his sister’s memory alive.
Last year, Fieri gave fans a glimpse into his home, revealing a mosaic artwork made from pieces of their family’s dish set. "This is a memorial that I have here in my house," he explained in a video, describing the mosaic as a daily reminder of Morgan’s spirit. "Celebrate her every day, particularly on her birthday. Love you, Morgan," he concluded, a sentiment that resonated with his followers and underscored the deep family ties that ground his public persona.
Family, it seems, is never far from Fieri’s mind. In May 2025, he celebrated another major milestone: the graduation of his nephew, Jules Fieri, from Loyola Marymount University’s Loyola Law School. Jules, 26, earned a Master of Science in Legal Studies, all while working full time as a music industry agent. Fieri and his wife Lori, who helped raise Jules after Morgan’s passing, attended the ceremony alongside their sons, Hunter and Ryder. "I could not be more proud of my nephew, Jules," Fieri posted, marveling at his nephew’s work ethic and determination. "He has worked full time as an agent in the music industry while attending law school at night for the last 2 years. Wow!"
But it’s not just family events keeping Fieri busy. The chef recently made headlines in Florida’s booming real estate market, selling his Lake Worth Beach waterfront home in January 2025 for $7 million. According to USA TODAY, Fieri had originally listed the 6,000-square-foot property for $8.75 million in 2023, eventually dropping the price by $1.75 million amid a broader trend of price reductions in Palm Beach County. The buyers, Las Vegas restaurateurs Frank Bonanno and Betty Pellegrino Bonanno, now own the home, which boasts 210 feet of direct waterfront, an outdoor kitchen, elevator, pool with spa, boat lift, and a private dock fit for a yacht.
Fieri, who purchased the home in March 2021 for $3.9 million, didn’t just flip it for a profit—he invested in upgrades, including new air conditioners, pool tile, a heater, and exterior speakers. Despite the sale, Fieri’s connection to Florida remains strong. He still owns a Mediterranean-style waterfront property on Singer Island in Riviera Beach, which he bought in June 2023 for $7.3 million. This home, situated on a corner lot with 230 feet of waterfrontage, is not homesteaded, suggesting it’s not his primary residence but rather a testament to his ongoing presence in the Sunshine State.
Florida has always been more than just a vacation spot for Fieri. The chef’s relationship with the state runs deep, both professionally and personally. "Even a cloudy day in Florida is an awesome day," Fieri declared at the opening of a Chicken Guy! location in Winter Park, as reported by USA TODAY. "I will be in Florida way more than you know." True to his word, Fieri’s culinary footprint in Florida is expansive. As of 2025, more than 100 Florida restaurants have been featured on his hit show, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Four of his 18 Chicken Guy! locations are scattered across the state, including Disney Springs, Miami, Wesley Chapel, and Winter Park. His delivery-only Flavortown Kitchen is also available to Floridians, and his signature burgers and barbecue can be found on Carnival Cruise liners sailing from major Florida ports.
Family milestones continue to intertwine with Fieri’s Florida story. In May, he celebrated his son Hunter’s graduation from the University of Miami in Coral Gables, where Hunter earned a Master’s degree in Business Administration. The event was another reminder that, while Fieri’s career takes him across the country, Florida remains a central hub for his family and business interests.
As Fieri’s brand continues to thrive, his influence is inspiring a new crop of food television personalities—most notably, a towering figure from the world of wrestling. On October 24, 2025, the USA Network will premiere Everything on the Menu with Braun Strowman, a show that follows the former WWE superstar as he embarks on a culinary road trip across America. Strowman, who stands 6 feet 8 inches tall and is "semi-retired" from wrestling, brings a unique twist to the genre Fieri helped popularize. His gimmick? Eating everything on the menu at each restaurant he visits.
According to Mashed, Strowman’s journey will take him to cities like Fort Worth, Washington D.C., Orlando, Las Vegas, Chicago, Milwaukee, New Orleans, and Tampa. Each episode will see him not only tackling culinary challenges but also visiting kitchens and chatting with the cooks behind the scenes. At the end of every show, he’ll pick his favorite dish from the city—a nod to the traditions established by Fieri’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and Adam Richman’s Man v. Food.
Strowman isn’t the first wrestler to dabble in food entertainment, but he is the first to land his own show. Back in 1999, WWE Hall of Famer "Macho Man" Randy Savage filmed several episodes of a cooking show called "Wrestlin’ Up Some Grub" with other wrestling legends, but the series never aired. In recent years, wrestlers like John Cena, Mick Foley, The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Chris Jericho have appeared on food-related media, but Strowman’s new show marks a fresh chapter in the crossover between wrestling and food TV.
It’s a fitting development in a media landscape that continues to blur the lines between celebrity, cuisine, and spectacle. As Fieri’s star continues to shine, his legacy is evident not only in his family’s achievements and real estate ventures but also in the new faces and flavors lighting up America’s screens. Whether it’s a heartfelt tribute to a beloved sister, a multimillion-dollar home sale, or a wrestling giant eating his way across the country, the world of Guy Fieri is as vibrant and unpredictable as ever.
With each new chapter, Fieri’s story proves that food, family, and a little bit of showmanship can take you just about anywhere—even to the heart of Flavortown itself.
