Guy Fieri’s Michigan Chicken Guy! Opening, More on the Way

Chef and TV personality Guy Fieri has teamed up with the Tomey Group to bring his Chicken Guy! restaurant to Michigan.

Now, they're ready to open the doors. It all happens in a matter of days.

Chicken Guy! in Livonia will open this Saturday (April 1), marking the restaurant's first location in Michigan. There will be a ribbon cutting at 11 a.m. followed by the doors officially opening to the public. The restaurant will be located at 30130 Plymouth Road in Livonia and open daily. For the Grand Opening, Chicken Guy! will also honor Livonia Fire and Police by offering them a free meal on April 1. Also, throughout the day, guests will have the chance to win various prizes. According to a release, Guy Fieri plans to open 19 more locations in southeast Michigan within a couple years.

"The people of The Motor City have spoken…I’m bringin’ my real deal chicken tenders, sandwiches, and shakes to Livonia. From shooting DDD to taking part in the Woodward Dream Cruise, the Detroit area has always been a go-to for me, so I’m stoked for everyone to give us a try. See ya there!" Guy Fieri said in a statement.

"We are excited to announce the opening of the first Chicken Guy! in Michigan and partner with one of our favorite chefs and TV personalities, Guy Fieri," said Anthony Tomey, CEO, The Tomey Group. "The food and variety of sauces is made with the expertise from Guy, that you can only imagine how delicious the food is. This is just the first location of many, as we have plans to expand to all over Southeast Michigan.” Michael Tomey CFO, The Tomey Group added, “Guy Fieri and Robert Earl are renowned when it comes to quality food and restaurants, so we are thrilled to be able to partner with them and bring Michigan the opportunity to experience Chicken Guy!.”

"Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives," hosted by Guy Fieri on the Food Network, is one of the most popular shows for food lovers. There's just something super entertaining about Fieri, and the show is so fun to watch. What's extra cool is that Fieri has come to Michigan multiple times and picked local restaurants to highlight on the show.

TVFoodmaps.com has compiled a full directory of all the restaurants that have appeared on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives." Think of this as a list of spots every Michigan food lover should visit. Some of these restaurants are familiar to me, like Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger, while others I are not. My parents actually live just a few miles from Zaytoon Mediterranean in Lansing, Michigan, and I had no idea they were featured on the show until now. They do have some great Miditerranean food.
