Guy Fieri talks about Chicken Guy! coming to Michigan

For celebrity chef Guy Fieri, fried chicken brings back precious childhood memories. “When you were a little kid and somebody said ‘fried chicken,’ you smiled. Fried chicken always meant fun, fried chicken meant picnic, fried chicken meant grandma, fried chicken meant ... you did something right,” said Fieri. So that nostalgia coupled with his vast experience eating culinary wonders from across the country with Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, entering the booming chicken restaurant arena with business partner Robert Earl just made sense. Fieri is now bringing his Chicken Guy! restaurant to Michigan, with the first location opening in Livonia on April 1. And no, it’s no April Fools’ joke. Chicken Guy! is the chain's 8th location and is the first of 19 planned locations in Southeast Michigan in the next few years.
