Guy Fieri is famous for his massive love of food, he has a few very popular shows on the Food Network, now he is venturing to Pretoria to open a restaurant.
The Guy Fieri Kitchen and Bar is set to open on the 1st of April 2017. It is the first of his restaurants to be opened in South Africa and promises to be as big as the chef himself! Guy is a massive foodie and is famous for sticking his fingers in sauces and picking off pieces of meat while discussing secret recipes with chefs of America’s coolest Diners, Drive Ins and Dives.
America´s ‘culinary rockstar’ is bringing his unique dishes to South Africa, with an American-Italian influence inspired by the dishes he grew up with and stories about his food journey. Get those cowboy boots out for an evening of line dancing, and shake it up on the mechanical bull for the ride of your life — a perfect choice for a fun night out on the town with friends or family.
The restaurant is said to have a mechanical bull and will be a weekend hot spot. The age restriction is over 18’s only and it will be located at the new Time Square hotel and casino development in Pretoria.
The restaurant will host “award-winning burgers, like the one-and-only Bacon Mac-N-Cheese Burger and signature sandwiches such as the Motley Que, which has real-deal American barbecued pulled pork”.
“We take pride in our big-time hits … killer burgers, buffalo wings and craft cocktails … but we also take a look around the local area and see what’s special.
“I mean, if you’re going to do South Africa, you got to have some scratch-made rubbed and sauced peri-peri chicken wings, right? You’re not going to find grilled springbok loin from Mokopane in New York City but after trying it in South Africa, I may have to change that .” – Guy Fieri
The restaurant will have “comfortable seating, a great bar and rocking music – making it the place to be not just for a great meal but to party as well”.
“South Africans work hard for their money and they deserve to be able to take their family out for good food and a good time. We’re bringing the heat and excitement of Flavourtown but at local market prices so it’s accessible to everyone,” he said.
