On that note, let's explore more details about the Guy's Ultimate Game Night co-hosts.

1) Guy Fieri

Guy Fiere, 54, is a chef, restaurateur, New York Times best-selling author and Emmy Award-winning TV host. He developed a passion for cooking at the age of ten.

At that age, he started selling soft pretzels from a three-wheeled bicycle cart he built with his father called 'The Awesome Pretzel Cart'. Later, he washed dishes for six years at restaurants and accumulated enough money to study at his dream place in Chantilly, France, where he started liking international cooking.

Upon coming back, he graduated from the University of Nevada Las Vegas with a degree in Hospitality Management. He then completely got into the restaurant business and opened his casual dining restaurant in Northern California.

Moreover, he has also hosted shows like Emmy-nominated Diners, Drive Ins & Dives, Guy’s Grocery Games, Tournament of Champtions and Guy’s Ranch Kitchen.


2) Antonio Lafaso

Antonio Lafaso is a chef, TV Personality, Cookbook Author & Mother. She belongs to the Italian-American heritage that made her open Scopa – Italian Roots, her restaurant in 2013. That immediately got a great response from people.

Throughout her career, Lafaso has tried her best to observe culinary legends and absorbed their sophisticated techniques, but she has not been afraid to take extraordinary risks to honor her instincts. As a result, she confidently challenges the predominant menus in restaurants and tries to bring a change in them.

Moreover, in 2012, the Guy's Ultimate Game Night host joined Penguin to release The Busy Mom’s Cookbook: 100 Recipes for Quick, Delicious, Home-cooked Meals, which also told the story of the challenges she overcame while studying at the elite French Culinary Institute.

Also, the chef has appeared on many shows as a judge on CNBC’s Restaurant Startup, and recurring roles on The Food Network’s Cutthroat Kitchen, Man vs. Child, and ABC’s Real O’neals.

Nevertheless, one of her most recent ventures is Antonia Lofaso Catering, a service that will provide clients with the best dining experience.

Viewers can watch the premiere of Guy's Ultimate Game Night on August 31 at 9.00 pm ET on Food Network and Discovery+.
