Hunter Fieri is the son of Guy Fieri, the quirky celebrity chef-turned-TV host. Since entering his father’s life, he has repeatedly established himself as a lucky charm.
Guy launched his first restaurant in California the year Hunter was born. His father won the second season of The Food Network Star when he was ten years old. Having witnessed his father achieve global recognition as a celebrity chef/TV personality, Hunter felt compelled to follow suit.
Guy Fieri’s Education and Net Worth
As Guy Fieri’s son, Hunter aspired to a career in show business and restaurant management. Though he was an avid sports fan as a youth and aspired to be a supercross racer.
Between September 2012 and May 2015, he worked as a line cook at his father’s signature restaurant, Jhonny Garlic’s and Tex Wasabi’s. While in high school, Hunter and a friend operated Kulinary Gangstas, a mobile pizza trailer.
Hunter and Guy traveled across Europe after graduating from high school, sampling new meals and immersing themselves in new cultures. Guy and Hunter’s European Vacation was a Food Network documentary that chronicled the entire journey.
Following his vacation, Hunter enrolled in college, which is also his father’s alma mater. In an interview with The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), he explained his decision as follows:-
“I chose to go to school at UNLV because it’s one of the best places for hospitality; that’s why I wanted to go there…”
Hunter interned in restaurants owned by celebrity chefs such as Bobby Flay, Giada De Laurentiis, and Gordon Ramsay while in college.
Hunter even tattooed his father’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star on his bicep as a way to draw inspiration from him. To be sure, he wishes to follow Guy’s example and establish his own legacy.
At the very least, Guy’s $20 million net worth should motivate Hunter to work twice as hard.
Hunter’s Personal Life – Is He Gay?
Hunter’s personal life is probably not as spectacular as fans assume. He maintains a low-key love affair with his girlfriends, which is unusual for the son of a star chef. His only account of dating occurred in 2015 when he took a stunning girl to the prom.
Due to Hunter’s refusal to discuss his love life, he is labeled a gay guy. Likewise, his father, who denies being anti-gay, feels the same way. However, neither of the two is homosexual.
However, Morgan Fieri, Hunter’s aunt (Guy’s sister), was an out lesbian. In 2011, she succumbed to Melanoma.
Age, Family Relationships, and Height
Discussing his family in greater detail: Hunter has a younger brother named Ryder, who turned 22 in August 2018. Ryder graduated from sixth grade in June 2018.
Hunter Fieri was born in 1996, the first child of Guy and Lori Fieri. His parents became acquainted via a mutual “friend.” It was love at first sight for his father. Hunter is taller than his father, who stands at five feet and ten inches (1.78 m).
