Kevin Cooper, the winner of celebrity chef Guy Fieri’s 2022 reality show “Guy’s Chance of a Lifetime,” is suing Fieri’s Chicken Guy! restaurant chain, alleging that the company breached the terms of their contract. As the winner of Fieri’s show, Cooper says he was promised a franchise of Chicken Guy! Including full restaurant build out, startup capital, and a full first year salary. Cooper did open his franchise of Chicken Guy! in February 2024, but it only survived about a year before closing. So what happened here? Were promises not kept? Can we still love and trust Guy Fieri? Let’s get into it.
