Guy’s forks! Celebrity chef Fieri creates new ‘Burger Joint’ for Carnival Cruise Lines

Food Network star Guy Fieri has created a new shipboard dining venue for Carnival Cruise Lines called Guy’s Burger Joint.

The celebrity chef’s new venue will be dishing up hand-crafted burgers and fresh-cut fries and special recipes created exclusively for Carnival.

The new foodie option debuts on Carnival Liberty following the completion of its October refurbishments later this month and will be rolled out to several other Carnival “Fun Ships” over the next few years as part of the line’s Fun Ship 2.0 fleetwide enhancement program.

Burgers, of course, are the star attraction at Guy’s Burger Joint and diners can select from several different kinds of hand-crafted hamburgers and cheeseburgers, with each recipe custom created by Fieri, pictured.

A variety of innovative condiments, everything from chipotle mayonnaise and a special barbecue sauce to garlic aioli and three hot sauces, will be available at two self-serve condiment stations.

For guests who like a little more spice, seasonings like garlic and herb, sea salt and hot chili also will be offered, along with a selection of toppings such as sautéed mushrooms, grilled onions, blue cheese crumbles and vine-ripened tomatoes.

Fieri’s influence goes beyond the burger recipe — each condiment station also features a suggested menu developed by the chef to show guests what condiments and toppings they can use to build a specialty burger. In addition to burgers, Guy’s Burger Joint will serve fresh, hand-cut French fries prepared on board.

Guy’s Burger Joint adds a new flavour to Carnival dining

Located adjacent to the ship’s main pool area, the décor of Guy’s Burger Joint is imbued with the chef’s passion for car culture and his California roots. Life-size surfboards and car elements such as car bumpers, grilles and chrome pipes adorn the walls, while car hoods hang on the ceiling over the two condiment stations. Servers will wear old school mechanic uniforms with their own personalised nickname featured.

“Guy Fieri is a fun, unique culinary superstar whose energy and passion for food is reflective in this one-of-a-kind shipboard burger joint concept,” said Carnival president Gerry Cahill. “We’re thrilled to be able to bring his cuisine to our guests who know him and watch him on television every day. Sis culinary genius will truly make these the best burgers at sea,” he added.

“I’m stoked to be partnering with the team from Carnival,” said Fieri. “They understand what it takes to make a top notch burger - quality ingredients and a great attitude.”

Guy Fieri is one of the biggest stars on the Food Network, and is also host of NBC’s hit game show Minute to Win It and the co-owner of West Coast restaurants Johnny Garlic’s and Tex Wasabi’s.
