Mayor of Flavortown Guy Fieri posts proud dad Instagram after son Hunter graduates in Florida
The Mayor of Flavortown is one proud papa. On May 8, Guy Fieri, longtime Food Network star and culinary icon, celebrated his son Hunter Fieri's college graduation. 'I have have so many blessings in my life, but the biggest and most important always revolve around my family,' the host of Food Network's longtime show "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" wrote on Instagram, tagging his three boys, one of which is his nephew, whom he's raising. 'Hard work and determination! Working on Hunt Ryde Wine company, shooting multiple, being on the road, and getting an MBA. The road to success!! So proud of you, Hunter." Hunter Fieri graduated from the class of 2025 with a master's degree in business administration (or MBA) from the University of Miami in Miami, Florida. Over the years, he's appeared on TV with his famous father, like Food Network's "Tournament of Champions," and making a name for himself in the culinary world. Up next for Hunter Fieri? He will marry his fiancee Tara Bernstein in mid-June 2025 at his father's ranch in California. His brother, Ryder Fieri, graduated from high school in California in 2024. With a home in California, Guy Fieri and his family seem to split their time between the West Coast and East Coast. The pop culture phenomenon − there is no actual Flavortown, USA, by the way, though Guy Fieri uses the mayor title proudly − has several ties to Florida: Guy Fieri has filmed several episodes of his various Food Network and Cooking Channel shows in Florida since he made his reality TV debut winning season two of "Next Food Network Star." Guy Fieri moved here in 2021, buying a home in Lake Worth Beach in Palm Beach County. He has referred to it as the "Flavortown Mansion." Like other superstar Food Network chefs, Guy Fieri's a frequent headliner at the annual South Beach Food and Wine Festival in Miami. Florida on Food Network: Guy Fieri spotlights this restaurant on 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives' around Memorial Day 2025 Most recently, Guy Fieri highlighted another Gainesville, Florida, restaurant, Bingo Deli and Pub, on his popular "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" show with an episode that aired May 9. Five other Gainesville restaurants featured on that show include Fehrenbacher's Meats and Eats, Humble Wood Fire Bagel Shop, the Paper Bag, Uppercrust and Germain's Chicken Sandwiches, according to the Gainesville Sun, a USA TODAY Network newspaper. And that's not all: Close to the Memorial Day holiday, Guy Fieri will showcase a Naples, Florida, restaurant in the May 23, 2025, episode, reporting from the Naples Daily News, a USA TODAY Network newspaper, shows. In the "Hunter Fieri graduation" Instagram video that Guy Fieri posted to his social media networks, the proud father can be heard cheering when his son walked on stage to collect his diploma. Hunter Fieri proudly displayed the "hand gesture" for the University of Miami in the Instagram Reel, too, sparking cheers from the crowd.

Dad shows up to custody swap with another woman, then mom kills her, FL cops say
A mom showed up to a custody swap with five kids and a gun, then she killed a woman who arrived with her ex, according to Florida authorities and local news outlets. The 39-year-old woman pleaded no contest to the charges stemming from the Christmas 2023 killing and was adjudicated guilty of second-degree murder, attempted murder, five counts of child neglect and fleeing and eluding law enforcement, Alachua County records show. A judge sentenced her to life in prison. McClatchy News is not identifying the mother to protect the identity of her children, who are listed as victims in an indictment. Her attorney declined to comment April 29. 'There isn't a moment that doesn't go by that I don't deeply regret what I've done,' the mother wrote in a letter read by her attorney in front of the court, broadcast by WCJB. 'In all honesty, if I had one wish, it would be for Anna to be here with all her family and friends and for this to have never happened.' The woman had an 11-month-old with a man, who she began to suspect was having a yearslong affair shortly after their baby was born, the Alachua Chronicle reported, citing an arrest report from the Gainesville Police Department. On Christmas Day 2023, the mom drove her five kids to a Walgreens in Gainesville for a custody swap to give the 11-month-old to the child's father, according to police. In the car, the mom took a gun out and cocked it, then when the baby's father pulled up in a vehicle with 31-year-old Anna Haslup Terrill, the mom got out of her vehicle with the firearm, according to reporting from Gainesville Sun. Police said she walked over to the other vehicle while hiding the gun behind her back and shot Haslup Terrill three times, then she shot the father of her child three times, reportedly telling the man, 'You made this happen,' WCJB reported. Then she sped away with her five children, going 90 mph in a 45 mph zone as police pursued her, according to a criminal complaint and an indictment. When law enforcement tried to box her in, she drove around their vehicles into the grass, hitting speeds of more than 100 mph during the chase, police said in the complaint. Law enforcement said during the 13-mile chase, the mom called 911 and told operators she had shot two people and said police were following her, according to the Alachua Chronicle. Her children could be heard on the call begging her to stop the car, the Gainesville Sun reported. Haslup Terrill, a mom of four herself, died of her injuries, while the 11-month-old's father survived. Family wrote in her obituary she was a Florida State University fan who loved football and being out on the water. 'Anna loved all babies, and her children were her whole life,' family wrote in her obituary. 'She was a very caring person and always wanted to take care of other people. The water, whether it be the river or the ocean, was one of Anna's favorite things and you could find her boating, fishing and shrimping whenever she got the chance.'
