But now, just ahead of grilling season, Chef Fieri is pushing a drool-worthy product of his own.
Releasing throughout the month of March, nine newFlavortown sauceswill be available at retailers nationwide.
The collection features four barbecue flavors, as well as five creamy dipping sauces.
And it may be one of the tastiest, too.
EatingWell: What veggies are you always sure to grab on a grocery trip?
Fieri: I’m a huge green bean fan.
Green beans are one of my all-time go-tos, and they’re usually readily available.
I love Brussels sprouts, and Im a big cauliflower fan.
Then, I topped it with feta and balsamic vinegar.
But broccoli or cauliflower, Im a big fan of.
I don’t think it gets enough play.
Cabbage can be roasted, sauteedit goes everywhere.
So yeah, I love veggies.
And a funny thing is I did not like veggies when I was a kid.
EatingWell: Which of your new sauces is going to be your pick going into the barbecue season?
It really goes with everything.
So I think the kickoff to the grilling season in the spring would be the mop.
EatingWell: Whats going to be your go-to barbecue dish this spring?
Fieri: I’m a big veggie fan.
I think it’s great on shrimp.
We just did pork chops with it the other night.
I want to verify that it gets to shine throughnot to cover up.
Fieri: Let your imagination go where you want to go.
That doesn’t mean you have to flood something in a sauce.
Sometimes, you’re able to justaccentuate.
I think tossing into the sauce is one of the things that gets missed all the time.
People put sauce on top, and they get this big amount of it.
So, take your salad.
Hit it with a dressing that you like.
You get these two contrasting flavors: an oil-vinegar-based sauce and a creamy-based sauce all together.
Little things like that can really open up the spectrum.
EatingWell: What does eating well mean to you?
Fieri: I think eating well really gets into, What does good for you?
What makes you feel good?
I think eating well is eating in balance and eating with adventure.
We were talking about Italian restaurants; I said I order carbonara or chicken marsala.
Great, stop that, he said.
Order something different each time.
You don’t just read the same book every time, do you?
You don’t watch the same movie every time, do you?
Then, why do you go to the restaurant and order the same dish every time?
To open up the pallet, youve got to open up your mind.
