Social media posts from the Food Network have showcased the reactions of various culinary stars who have visited the set, highlighting their awe at the execution of what they describe as Fieri’s “mythical” creation.

It’s beautiful, and I think I want to move over here.” Her feedback underscores the impact that the set design has had on the culinary community.
Graham Elliot, another judge and well-known chef, also shared his enthusiasm, noting his previous experiences at locations such as “Tasty Burg” and “Yummy Ville.” He declared, “Flavortown, hands down, is where it’s at,” adding that the environment feels like “a Guy fever dream of just food stuffs,” a testament to the ambitious design that has been crafted for the show.
Tiffani Faison, winner of a season of “Tournament of Champions,” marvelled at the creativity of the set designers. “My jaw was on the floor, like, this is amazing.
