Roo (November, 2017) The restaurant of Guy Fieri, celebrity Chef and famed rock star of the kitchen and winner of the Food Network Star, celebrates a year of successful operations in a party accompanied by a large group of friends, media and special guests, but more importantly, with the people of Playa del Carmen who have welcomed and honored it with their preference.
Located in the most important tourist and commercial corridor of the Riviera Maya and Mexico, Fifth Avenue and 22nd street of Playa del Carmen, the spectacular restaurant “Guy Fieri’s Kitchen + Bar” has offered since its opening in November last year, a unique and unforgettable concept to be an American restaurant and bar (American food chef-driven culinary), with dishes and ingredients prepared with the highest quality, accompanied by beverages that surprise and also with traditional-regional dishes but with a touch outside of ordinary. A year later, MERA Corporation is proud to say that the operation of this franchise has been a success.
The restaurant owner and owner of franchises such as El Burro Borracho, Guy’s BBQ and Guy Fieri’s Kitchen + Bar, visited the destination exactly one year ago to get to know the culture and gastronomy of where he would be opening for the second time a restaurant outside of U.S. The Mexican consortium that operates this successful franchise and more than 40 brands and gastronomic concepts, with more than 130 units in operation in Mexico and abroad, Mera Corporation, is very satisfied with the work done in this first year of operations and by the love that the people of Solidarity have given.
At the press conference a few days before the event, the general manager of the restaurant, Trino de la Torre stressed on the new deck: “We are very happy to release the new terrace of Guy Fieri’s K + B Playa with a rustic and modern twist. With this extension, we offer a place to enjoy the Fifth Avenue with shade and shelter from the daily rains that refresh us during the afternoons. We offer Bar and Food service with a big screen to enjoy with family or friends’ parties and events while you can enjoy the sunset and people walking by. We become closer to the local people on our first anniversary with this embellishment to the facade which generated 30% more direct employment to the people of Playa. Our terrace offers a versatile and pleasant musical atmosphere during the midday and at night.”
This past Friday, November 10, at the great event and celebration, Juan Pablo Aguirre de la Torre, vice president of Mera Corporation and President of CANIRAC Quintana Roo, said: “It is an honor for me to speak on behalf of Mera Corporation and Guy Fieri and celebrate with you the reopening of our terrace hand in hand with our first anniversary, where we always had the intention of adding to the gastronomic offer of Playa del Carmen a place with a good American essence and traditional food thrown at home for tourists and people from Playa del Carmen. Today, the Guy Fieri’s restaurant is your home.”
