When Guy Fieri was creating the foundation of his career, one of the biggest things he did was create Johnny Garlic’s with his business partner Steve Gruber. Fieri had 3 restaurants including one in Santa Rosa and another in Petaluma. He called them California Pasta Grills and created unique dishes and soon had a cult following.
Even though he no longer has ownership in Johnny Garlics, some of the recipes he created are still favorites of many of his fans. From cedar plank salmon to several pasta dishes with seafood, many locals loved to come to the restaurant.
One of his recipes, his take on Garlic Fries was a fan favorite. Here is the recipe that he has cooked on many shows including the Rachel Ray show.
