Ashland, Ore. — The city of Ashland got a visit from the “Mayor of Flavortown”.

Celebrity Chef Guy Fieri and his famous red Camaro made stops at local favorites Sammich, Agave and Blue Toba.

Fieri and his crew were filming for The Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives”.

While the cast, crew and customers can’t talk until the episode airs, locals who came to catch a glimpse of the culinary commotion say he couldn’t have picked a better spot.

“Doesn’t surprise me at all that he’s coming here when I got to be here. Sammich completely deserves all the publicity it’s going to get for this,” said Caleb Hefner, an SOU student.

Fieri also posted on social media that he use to visit Emigrant Lake in Ashland as a kid.

Travel Ashland is reporting the episodes will air in the next few months.
