Celebrity Chef Guy Fieri is coming to Yonkers

Celebrity Chef and philanthropist Guy Fieri will be in Yonkers May 5 in support of his and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Sammy Hagar’s Santo Spirits brand.

The Cinco de Mayo appearance will take place at Stew Leonard's (1 Stew Leonard Drive) from noon to 1 p.m. for a "meet and greet" and sample sipping. Fieri will take photos with fans and sign bottles of Santo Tequila, a liquor that arose from a decades-old friendship between himself and Hagar.

According to Santo Spirits press release, their tequila products are additive free and carefully crafted using time-honored traditional methods that allow the agave to shine through. The tequila is produced at El Viejito Distillery in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico (the distillery dates to 1937) and is helmed by a third-generation distiller. Available in the portfolio is a Blanco, Reposado, Añejo and a 110-proof Blanco Tequila, along with Mezquila, what the press release calls "the world’s first tequila and mezcal blend."

The last time Fieri was in Westchester was last year when he highlighted Port Chester's Rinconcito Salvadoreño on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives." The episode, which aired Sept. 8, highlighted the family-owned eatery's pupusas (aka griddle cakes).

The restaurant, which has been in Westchester for more than 25 years, is located at 20 Broad St. and was recently part of our sibling-owned restaurant story.
