There are now 14 locations across the U.S. and seven on the way, according to the Chicken Guy! website. Most recently, Chicken Guy! New York City opened its doors on Jan. 31.

Kris and Ram Daswani locally own and operate the Dallas location. The duo plans to bring more Chicken Guy! locations to the Metroplex in the future.

“As fans of Guy Fieri, Robert Earl and Chicken Guy!, we think local diners will welcome the bold new flavors and high energy vibes that the brand brings to Texas and the Dallas food scene,” Kris Daswani said in a statement. “The central Preston Hollow Village location is a popular shopping and dining destination, making it the perfect spot to introduce the brand to a host of new Chicken Guy! fans.”

Fieri has featured a number of Dallas restaurants on his show, “Diners Drive-Ins, and Dives,” over the years, including Cane Rosso, Pecan Lodge and Maple & Motor.
