On holidays, the Fieri family
often hosts 60-plus people
at their Northern California
ranch. But they realized when
they bought the place nine
years ago that they were never
going to fit that many guests
in the house. Guy’s solution
was to build this sprawling
outdoor kitchen, designed
for big-time entertaining.
“Everyone gets a workstation,”
he says. “You’re either cutting
onions or you get to truss
the prime rib.” Guy also has
enough ovens to keep multiple
friends busy: He installed four,
plus a double plancha. When
the kitchen was finished, Guy
knew it would be the ideal set
for a cooking show, which is
how Guy’s Ranch Kitchen came
to be. On the show, Guy cooks
with friends like Duff Goldman
and Alex Guarnaschelli,
learning from them along
the way. “We all have such
unique skills and methods,
it’s great to get together and
let everyone jam.”
