Guy Fieri may soon be opening a restaurant right here in Columbus.

According to a permit under review by the City of Columbus, a restaurant from the Columbus-born restauranteur and celebrity chef is opening at Scioto Downs, 6000 S. High St.

The applicant, Dublin-based construction company Pepper Construction, cites work that will include interior demolition and build out, and new finishes on a "Guy Fieri restaurant."

Neither Scioto Downs, a casino concept by Caesar's Entertainment, nor Guy Fieri's team have responded to inquiries on the concept or opening timeline by Wednesday afternoon.

Fieri has 17 "Flavortown hot spots," including taco, barbecue, pizza, chicken and burger concepts. Many of his approximately 90 international restaurants are located in casinos, stadiums, malls and cruise ships.

One of his concepts, a ghost kitchen concept called Flavortown Kitchen, briefly set up shop in Columbus.
