For each episode of his show Diners, Drive-ins and Dives host Guy Fieri invites a family from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. For 363 episodes, he’s made it a point to ensure the whole family’s is invited, not just the child battling an illness. “We don’t want to single a kid out,” he explained.
Fieri’s filmed 363 episodes to date, and for each one, he’s invited a family from an organization close to his heart: Make-A-Wish. “I know what the family is going through, to some degree,” he told us last summer, when discussing his sister’s battle with cancer. “I know that heartache and I see that, and if there’s anything I can do to help enlighten or empower those kids, I want to do it.”
It’s something he does for every show he stars in, including Guy’s Big Bite and Guy’s Grocery Games, and he makes it a point to ensure the whole family’s invited, not just the child battling an illness. “We don’t want to single a kid out,” he explained.
