Guy Fieri on His Favorite Food Destinations—and the Surprising Restaurant He Says Is Always Worth a Detour: Exclusive
Even when the cameras aren't rolling, Guy Fieri will go the distance for a good meal. Whether he's in the Boston area for work or stopping by his Connecticut restaurant at Foxwoods, he prioritizes a visit to Olneyville NY System in Providence, Rhode Island, for its hot dogs topped with meat sauce, onions, and celery salt. 'My mouth waters just thinking about it,' the restaurateur and host of Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives since 2007 told Travel + Leisure at a Waterloo Sparkling Water event in New York City earlier this month. 'If I'm anytime within distance of it, we divert. We will go and get a dozen of these dogs, no problem.' Mileage is a non-factor when it comes to scouring the world for the most flavorful eats. 'It's funny because on Triple D [the show's nickname], all the time, I'll take a bite of something and say that it's worth an hour drive to come get this meal,' he said. Now the 57-year-old has taken his flavor-driven love of travel to the next level by launching a trio of sparkling water flavors with Waterloo, each capturing a destination dear to his heart. The Columbus, Ohio-born, Northern California-raised television personality has spent an abundance of time throughout his life in the Mexican town of Colima, which he says is best known for its 'big volcano.' In his 20s, his mom, who is a retired dental hygienist, and his dad would head there with a huge shipping container full of dental equipment. 'They were going and working at an orphanage that had 500 kids,' he explained. 'They would bring down their dentist friends and do free dental work on these orphans.' While helping the local community, the family started to explore the Mexican coastal cities in the states of Colima and Jalisco, vacationing on their beaches and eventually getting a home in the area. 'We spent a lot of time in Mexico—love it there!' he said. On one visit nearly two decades ago, his son Hunter, now 28, came back with a cup of mixed fruit, which Fieri was absolutely taken by. 'He's got pineapple, watermelon, mango, and gosh, you can taste the difference in the fruit in Mexico,' the food expert then the key ingredient came out when Hunter revealed a little container of Tajin, a Mexican seasoning powder made of chili peppers, lime, and sea salt. 'I was like, 'What are you doing? Don't put seasoned salt on that.' He remembered of his shock, 'I take a bite and am like, 'Whoa! You've got to be kidding me!' It accentuates it!' Likening it to adding salt to a flat cream sauce, he couldn't believe what a difference a sprinkle of the Tajin made. 'That little bit of that seasoned spice mixture on top of the fruit brings it up to the next level,' he said. That core memory sparked the idea for one of his three sparkling water flavors, with a version of that kicked-up fruit sensation in Spiced Mango or aisle? destination for cheap eats? destination for fine dining? underrated food city?I'm a big Chicago food city restaurant there?La Scarola. It's a great little Italian restaurant. It feels like you're walking into a mob flavor was sparked by his wife growing up not far from his beloved hot dog joint in North Providence. 'If you ever have a chance to go down to Narragansett Beach, it's just an amazing place,' he said. 'Coming from the West Coast, I'd never seen the East Coast beaches, so we'd go there, and Del's Lemonade is the big thing that everybody has.' His goal was to capture that throwback feeling of aimless summer days strolling down the boardwalk with the frozen snack in hand in his Lemon Italian Ice flavor. To do so, he honed in on the most flavorful part of the fruit, 'the peel of the lemon where the essence of the oil of the lemon comes from,' to create a sensation so 'far beyond what anybody has ever done with citrus-enhanced soda water.' For the final flavor in the Waterloo line, it was less about a single place, and more about chasing a particular tarty taste. 'As a chef, you go to regions that have huckleberry, and you can find huckleberry everywhere, but then you go around the rest of the country, you're not going to find it as prolifically,' Fieri admitted. He thinks he first came across the berry in West Virginia, where his dad is from. 'It just reminds me of every time I would come back to West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and the whole Appalachian area,' he said, adding that he often stumbled upon them during his travels through Amish Country, where they grow the best. 'It's one of those things that when it's available, you find it everywhere—huckleberry jam in huckleberry restaurants that have it on their huckleberry pies.' With that idea, he started thinking about the best way to enjoy the tart berry, and came up with the Huckleberry Cobbler flavor. 'The whole reason that Waterloo is dominating is because they have a really big imagination, and they were able to take it and figure it out,' the host said. All three flavors bring up happy travel memories, but Fieri admits if he had to choose a favorite, it would be the Spiced Mango Sorbet because of how he learned to spice the tropical fruit for his family. With the 51st season of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives airing now—and its season finale scheduled for May 23—Fieri is still searching for the best eats around the U.S. But when he's back in his NorCal home in Santa Rosa, he's quick to say his favorite place to eat is 'my house!' While he doesn't eat out often back home, he says one of his favorites is Tomi Thai in nearby Windsor. 'That's what I had last night,' he said during our April 10 interview. 'A great family runs it, and they're busy as can be. We couldn't even get them on Triple D!' Despite scouring the world for the best eats, there are still places Fieri has yet to flavor-hunt through, with Turkey at the top of his list. But anywhere he goes in the world, he has the right chef pal to show him the way. 'If I was going to go to Thailand, it would be Jet Tila,' he said. 'If I was going to go to China, it would be Ming Tsai. If I was going to go to Japan, it would be Shota Nakajima. If I was going to go to Italy, it would probably be Antonio La Fauci. I could take you around the world!' No matter where he goes, a good meal leaves a deep impression. When I commented that his face is painted all over the mural at one of my favorites in my hometown of San Jose, California, he beats me to the punch, enthusiastically shouting: 'Falafel's Drive In!' and adding that 'it was one of the neatest falafel joints I'd ever been to!'

Celebrity chef Guy Fieri's message to Americans: Let's 'eat better' to live better
Americans are becoming far more conscious and thoughtful about what they put into their bodies as today's healthy eating movement continues to gain traction. "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" host and celebrity chef Guy Fieri agrees that America should be making healthier choices. The celebrity restaurateur and chef spoke to Fox News Digital in an on-camera interview at an event in New York City with Waterloo Sparkling Water to debut new flavors dreamed up by the "Mayor of Flavortown" himself. (See the video at the top of this article.) In revealing that the sparkling water products have zero calories yet are still flavorful, Fieri cautioned consumers about consuming artificial flavors and beverages that are high in sugar. "Artificial flavor is what scares me. You're drinking something," he said. "I know it's supposed to taste like blackberry lemonade, but it tastes like there's something else going on inside of this." "We have to make better decisions about what we're putting in our bodies," he added. Overall, we have to "eat better." This doesn't mean cutting out what you want to have, Fieri stressed. Rather, it's about eating "a better [portion] of it." "Processed foods really have played a serious role in where people are in their lives and their health and their wellness," he also noted. People are understanding "the reality that we can't just do everything we want to do all the time." Instead, he said, "we have to put [in] some level of moderation. It's not: Stop doing it. That would be the worst thing. It's just: Keep an eye on it." Fieri said that making better choices – such as switching from soda to a zero-calorie beverage – will bring down the overall calorie count. When people drink, he said, the calories can add up quickly. "[People] will weigh their chicken breast. They'll really focus on what they're having at lunch," he said. "But then you go and have three or four cocktails with a type of spirit that has a lot of calories to it, or the mixer that goes into it, and as soon as you start putting any more sugar in it, you just start spiking it." "I'm 57. I want to live to be at least 67." He added, "Before you know it, you've blown out your calorie count, and then you're back to ground zero." The goal in making smarter, more thoughtful decisions is to promote better health that will lead to a longer life — which Fieri admitted has been a focus of his as he's balanced diet and fitness with fun. "The reality of it is, I'm 57. I want to live to be at least 67," he joked. "I didn't stop eating what I love. I didn't stop drinking what I appreciate. I just try to do it in moderation." Fieri also remains active by exercising at least four to five days a week through different types of activity, including strength training, hiking, CrossFit and other cardio. He has also said in the past that he's done cold plunges as well as used saunas. "You get one life, one chance to do this," he said about living a healthy lifestyle. "Let's make it the best chance we can." In partnership with Waterloo, an Austin, Texas-based sparkling water brand, Fieri has released three customized flavors: lemon water ice, huckleberry cobbler and spiced mango sorbet. Fieri said creating big flavors has made the collaboration "so fun." "I'm not a big soda drinker, but I am a big flavor junkie," he said. "I want things that have a lot of flavor."

Guy Fieri Teams Up With Waterloo Sparkling Water To Launch Travel-Inspired Flavors
Lemon Italian Ice, Huckleberry Cobbler and Spiced Mango Sorbet flavors — each inspired by Fieri's ... More personal experiences. The Mayor of Flavortown is at it again. As we slide into the spring and summer months, Guy Fieri has once again teamed up with Waterloo Sparkling Water to create three limited-release flavors of sparkling water. Both Fieri and Waterloo are known for their fun, lively demeanors which allowed them to knock it out of the park with the brand new Lemon Italian Ice, Huckleberry Cobbler and Spiced Mango Sorbet flavors — each inspired by Fieri's personal experiences. "We are thrilled to collaborate with Guy Fieri on these fantastic sparkling waters, bringing to life our mutual love of epic flavor with a first-of-its-kind strategic brand collaboration in this competitive category," says Kathy Maurella, CMO of Waterloo Sparkling Water. "When the Mayor of Flavortown joined us at our summer launch event last year, we immediately started brainstorming more ways to capture the spirit of both Waterloo and Flavortown.' Catch these flavor-filled waters on shelves now This collection of flavors really hits home for Fieri as each one is tied to a memory and destination that means a lot to Fieri and his family. As a true fan of sparkling water, working with Waterloo was an easy decision for Fieri. 'I think what Waterloo does is always next level,' says Fieri. 'I was impressed with them even before I ever worked with them.' The process he says is filled with dedication, sharing one flavor had 66 different variations he and the team tried before getting it just right. Lemon Italian Ice Lemon Italian Ice tastes like a sun-kissed wave of lemony tart and sweet, with notes of fresh, citrusy sweetness and a zesty lemon kick in a nostalgic tribute to the iconic beachside treat. For Fieri that treat is specifically Del's Lemonade. 'When you see that cart on the side of the road in Rhode Island, you just know you have to stop for a frozen lemonade,' says Fieri. 'The Waterloo team even had it shipped to their offices so we could be sure to get the flavor I pictured just right.' Huckleberry Cobbler Huckleberry Cobbler is a true surprise with a burst of wild berries and comforting spice, weaving together bright sweetness, tart Huckleberry, and rich streusel flavors. 'This flavor is where things really went off the rocker,' shared Fieri. 'There's the sweet, savory, tart notes of the huckleberries, but then that brown buttery, sugary flavors you need in a cobbler, it's such a good contrast of flavors.' Meant to evoke flavors of the Pacific Northwest, huckleberries are a treasured flavor to Fieri who says he loves how unique they are since you don't find them as often as other berries. Spiced Mango Sorbet Spiced Mango Sorbet is a uniquely refreshing blend reminiscent of a traditional Mexican dessert, balancing the tropical sweetness of mango with zesty lime and a touch of savory spice. 'When we say spiced here, it's not spicy, it's more of the spices (like Tajin) that you'll find sprinkled on fruits you might buy from a cart on the side of the road somewhere like Mexico,' says Fieri. With the effervescence of the water, the flavors are even more enhanced. 'You instantly feel like you're on vacation. I can't think of a place that grows mangos that doesn't make me smile — Florida, Mexico, the Caribbean — it's such a special fruit.' As a fun way to celebrate the launch, Waterloo Sparkling Water will be handing out free samples of the new flavors to consumers in New York City on April 10th. Just look for Waterloo's Epic Flavor Can Cruiser on W 18th St (between 6th and 7th Avenue) from 3:30 to 6:30pm. Designed specifically at Fieri's request, the Waterloo Can Cruiser was created by the person who he trusts to restore his own personal cars. 'I really wanted to do something sensational and thought of the Weinermobile, and knew it would be so cool to make a Waterloo car. 'I called my car builder and asked him to come over to meet the Waterloo team,' says Fieri who shared they knocked around ideas for bringing a lifesize, driveable can-shaped car to life. 'The next day, I got a call saying we're building this thing.' These limited-time-only flavors are rolling onto shelves nationwide at Walmart, Target, Whole Foods, Albertsons Safeway, HEB, Central Market, Stop & Shop, Amazon, select Kroger divisions, Hy-Vee, Fresh Direct, Gopuff and more, and with availability at Aldi in July.
