PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Deschutes County officials and Bend restaurateurs remain tight-lipped about rumors that celebrity chef Guy Fieri visited several restaurants in Bend this week for his TV show “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.” However, KOIN 6 received several viewer-submitted photos confirming his appearance.

One viewer who submitted a photo of Fieri said that he was spotted at the Grace and Hammer pizzeria in Redmond on April 11. Fieri was also seen in Bend, where he posed for a photo with staff members at Spork and is rumored to have eaten at Big Ski’s Pierogis. Fieri also visited Bend in 2021, filming at Zydeco Kitchen and Cocktails, Rockin’ Dave’s Bistro and Backstage Lounge and Dump City Dumplings.
