Guy Fieri Is Bravely Returning To Times Square With His Chicken Shop
After one of the most brutal Pete Wells reviews to date, Guy Fieri is attempting an NYC comeback with a new location within his Chicken Shop franchise, Chicken Guy!, in partnership with Planet Hollywood founder and CEO, Robert Earl.
Fieri’s former Times Square establishment, Guy’s American Kitchen & Bar, serviced mainly tourists for a five year span before shuttering its doors. However, it’s remembered for its horribly famous New York Times review where Pete Wells begged Fieri if he noticed “that the menu was an unreliable predictor of what actually came to the table,” or if when he tried “that blue drink” he thought it tasted like “some combination of radiator fluid and formaldehyde.”
Hopefully, Chicken Guy! will be his redemption, serving up all-natural chicken tenders brined in lemon juice, buttermilk and pickle brine. The new location will takeover 138 W 42nd Street. According to Eater, the location is expected to open up on Friday, January 31st.

The simple but effective menu ranges from a Bourbon Brown Sugar BBQ Chicken Sandwich to Hot Tenders, Combo Meals and Hand-Spun Flavortown Shakes. It’s sauces, however, are the stars of the show with 11 different flavors to enhance your tenders or chicken sandwich with.

The closest currently open Chicken Guy! is in Atlantic City. The Times Square location will join other newer shops across the country in cities like Wesley Chapel, Florida and Los Angeles, California.
