Guy Fieri to host a quarantine edition of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives

TheWrap

Food Network has ordered Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives: Takeout, a three-episode series set amid the coronavirus crisis premiering April 24. Over three weeks, Fieri will reunite with four chefs he's met on his signature show. They'll send him their full ingredient list for a chosen recipe and guide him through each step of the cooking process remotely from home. Some of the dishes Fieri will make include chicken tamales, paella fritters, European-style dumplings, BBQ burnt ends, chicken parmesan and “bangin’ shrimp.” “Triple D has always been about hittin’ the road and celebrating the hard workin’ folks of the restaurant business," says Fieri. "And while the restaurants are partially closed and the Camaro is parked, DDD: Takeout is here to show you how your favorite chefs are still cookin’ it up to keep people fed, support their communities, their families, and their employees." Food Network president Courtney White, who ordered an Amy Schumer quarantine cooking show last week, adds: "We are continuing to cook up creative programming ideas that entertain our viewers during these unprecedented times."
