According to the Ferndale Enterprise, the Victorian Village’s iconic butcher shop and sandwich stop’s building has been purchased by hometown hero hero (not going to apologize for that) Guy Fieri. As soon as editor Caroline Titus got wind the property was up for sale from Paul Beatie of the Ferndale Chamber of Commerce on Jan. 4, she passed word on to Fieri, who jumped on the purchase the next day.
Apparently this doesn’t mean you can expect Guy-talian fondue dippers at the counter. Titus reports Fieri will support owner Curt Terribilini’s plans to keep things as they are, which is pretty much as they were when a young Fieri worked there and when he featured it on his show Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.
