It appears that the host of a popular Food Network show may be thinking about opening a restaurant in the Big Apple.
According to Food Republic, Guy Fieri of "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" is apparently contemplating a new restaurant somewhere in New York City. The article mentions that the Food Network host said to a crowd of people at the Times Center in Manhattan (as part of a New York City Wine and Food Festival interview), "You want to hear a secret? There might be a Guy Fieri restaurant coming to this island."
Currently, Guy Fieri--a West Coast native--owns six restaurants (four Johnny Garlic's and two Tex Wasabi's), but all of them are located in California. The Food Republic article states that the New York City restaurant would not be a branch of Tex Wasabi's, but does not say anything about Johnny Garlic's.
