He then regularly had his friends and "posse" join him during episodes.
In season 10, Fieri shifted the focus from a studio kitchen to his own backyard, having guests at his own home besides his own techniques in the backyard of his home.
Guy's Big Bite aired for nineteen seasons, completing in 2016.[4]
