Some would argue that Tampa Bay is thoroughly saturated with new chicken restaurants, but not celebrity chef and "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" host Guy Fieri.
Chicken Guy, a fast-food chicken sandwich and tender concept spearheaded by the
Mayor of Flavortown himself, will soon open a new location at 25769 Sierra Center Blvd. in Wesley Chapel.
Co-founded in 2018 with Planet Hollywood founder Robert Earl, the chain's menu primarily focuses on chicken tenders and Guy's "Big Bite" chicken sandwiches, which are both served either grilled or "crispy fried." There's also shakes, fries, mac and cheese, salads and more up for grabs.
The chain currently has 10 locations across the country, with more on the way. The closest outpost in Winter Park faced eviction last March over $38K in unpaid rent, and a location in Livonia, Michigan shuttered abruptly last June.
No exact opening date has been announced for the new Wesley Chapel restaurant, but local blog Tampa Bay Is Awesome says it will debut in October.
