Tampa is apparently the new Flavortown.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This summer, Food Network star and celebrity chef Guy Fieri has popped up at a number of local restaurants, and now we can add West Tampa\u2019s Boozy Pig Butchery & Kitchen to the list.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The popular butcher shop and sandwich-focused cafe (technically in the Midtown neighborhood) will be featured on an upcoming episode of \u201cDiners, Drive-Ins and Dives,\u201d airing Friday, Aug. 7 at 9 p.m. EST.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard to put into words what this moment means to us. What started as a dream, a whole lot of hard work, and a belief in doing things the right way has led us to something we never imagined,\u201d wrote Boozy Pig on a social media <\/a>post. \u201cBeing featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is an incredible honor, and we couldn\u2019t have done it without this amazing crew & community.\u201d<\/p>\n

To celebrate the occasion, the restaurant will host a watch party at Riveters, located at 2301 N Dale Mabry Hwy., beginning at 7:30 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Owner Andrew Tambuzzo opened the establishment, located at 3255 W Cypress St., back in 2019 with a focus on customizable cuts alongside meaty sandwiches, bacons, and sausages on demand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Boozy is now the third Tampa establishment to get the Guy Fieri treatment over the last couple of months. Last May, downtown Tampa\u2019s Supernatural Food & Wine hosted the frosted-tipped chef, where he announced that he had \u201cone of the best donuts I\u2019ve ever had in my life<\/a>.\u201d A month later, Fieri also made an appearance at popular Tampa sandwich spot Cousin Vinny\u2019s<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Over the years, Fieri has been a somewhat regular fixture of the Tampa food scene, stopping at a number of local favorites like Ted Peters Famous Smoked Fish and Keegans Seafood Grill.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n
