Medfield Chef Cooks With Guy Fieri On TV For Charity

MEDFIELD, MA — A Medfield native got the opportunity to cook on celebrity chef Guy Fieri's television show for charity.

Chef Jay Hajj, the owner of Mike's City Diner in Boston, will appear on Fieri's most recent socially distanced installment of "Takeout: Tastier at Home."

The episode debuts at 9 p.m. Friday on the Food Network and features Hajj and three other chefs from around the country teaching Fieri how to make their signature dish. Hajj will teach Fieri how to make his kofta kebab gyro.

Fieri will choose his favorite dish at the end of the show and donate to Restaurant Relief America in the winning chef's name. Restaurant Relief America helps restaurant industry employees who are out of work amid the new coronavirus pandemic. Hajj told Dirty Water Media he will also donate to the charity, and all sales of his kofta kebab gyro this weekend will be donated to the relief effort.

"It was very different than our typical show, but still very fun," Hajj told Dirty Water Media. "I'm in Mike’s City Diner and looking out the windows at Washington Street. There’s nobody on the street, no cars driving by. It’s just how the times are. But we made the most of it for a good cause."

If you can't watch the episode live, repeats will air at midnight Saturday, at 6 p.m. May 15 and at 10 p.m. May 23.
