Guy Fieri helps Steve Doocy prep nachos for charity event
Food Network star Guy Fieri is preparing to take on actor Bill Murray in a nacho-making 'showdown' to raise money for restaurant relief amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Guy Fieri always keeps it real, but he's also keeping busy through the coronavirus pandemic by fundraising for restaurant relief, filming for Food Network and, of course, getting crafty in the kitchen.
In conversation with Fox News, the celebrity chef revealed the weirdest thing he’s cooked during lockdown and gushed about one of his favorite cuisines — along with a must-know tip for ordering it.

“Everybody’s got that secret recipe up their sleeve!” Fieri said of his latest culinary creation during the pandemic: a French onion chicken bake.
“We were on a road trip, and we were traveling from campground to campground, and the kids were talking about French onion soup, and I said ‘OK, what if we made it with chicken?’” he recalled.
Fieri, who recently teamed up with Heluva Good! Dip for a Fully Loaded Sweepstakes (more on that below), then combined some chicken with the brand's French onion dip and a few other key ingredients to create the dish — and it turned out to be a hit with his French onion soup-obsessed family.

“It’s everything that you love about French onion soup, a little bit more fortified, but a little bit heartier,” he explained.
