Does Guy Fieri ever sleep? After raising millions for restaurant worker relief<\/a>, feeding local first responders<\/a>, filming local episodes of Diners, Drive-Ins and Diners<\/a>, saving a historic butcher shop from closing<\/a>,\u00a0and, ya know, launching a new Food Network cooking competition show this month, he\u2019s also heading up a nationwide chain of ghost kitchens.<\/p>\n

Flavortown Kitchen<\/strong><\/a> is a delivery-only comfort food concept operating out of existing restaurants. Featuring a lineup of fried, cheesy and saucy dishes like Jalapeno Pig Poppers, Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, Buffalo Wings, burgers (with Donkey sauce, natch), his Chicken Guy! fried chicken sandwiches (oh yeah, that\u2019s another business), chicken Alfredo, mac and cheese, fried pickles and cheesecake topped with potato chips, pretzels, and fudge sauce, it\u2019s heartburn-inducing just thinking about it.<\/p>\n

The ghost kitchen concept \u2014 running a virtual restaurant that\u2019s delivery-only \u2014 has been a popular pandemic business concept that eschews the brick and mortar for a shared commercial kitchen that can do any type of cuisine.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the catch: No news of a Flavortown Kitchen in Sonoma County at this point. Many of the \u201cborrowed\u201d kitchens are at chains like Bucco di Beppo. But hey, Guy, we hear Tex Wasabi\u2019s is still available\u2026<\/p>\n
