Fieri was born Guy Ramsay Ferry on January 22, 1968 in Columbus, Ohio, the son of Penelope Anne (née Price) and Lewis James Ferry. Guy grew up in Ferndale in rural Humboldt County, California. During high school, he was a foreign exchange student in Chantilly, France, where he developed his interest in food and cooking. Guy Fieri attended the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in hotel management in 1990. Fieri began his association with food in grade school in Ferndale, by selling pretzels from his "Awesome Pretzel" bicycle cart at age 10 (he and his father built it) and washing dishes to finance a trip to France to study. Upon returning, he worked at the restaurant at the Red Lion Inn in Eureka, California, until he went to UNLV for college. Soon after graduating from college, he worked as manager of Parker's Lighthouse, a Stouffer's restaurant in Long Beach, California. After three years in southern California, he became the district manager of Louise's Trattoria, managing six locations along with recruiting and training for the restaurants. In 2013, Fieri received a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Special Class Special for the Food Network special Guy Fieri's Family Reunion.
