Guy Fieri, Food Network personality and mayor of Flavortown, has been spending the week driving around the Bay Area in a red Camaro and dropping into a few local hotspots.

Fieri is filming episodes of his "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" close to Santa Rosa, where he's lived since the beginning of his career as a chef.

Earlier this week, Fieri tweeted that he would be "keepin it local this week" to visit a few new Bay Area locations.

One of those sites was Scolari's in Alameda. A couple locals caught the TV star on his way out from the small eatery, which serves sandwiches, fried chicken, and burgers (including the famed Impossible Burger).

Fieri also drove north to visit friend and rocker Sammy Hagar in Mill Valley at El Paseo, a restaurant the latter owns with chef Tyler Florence. It's not clear if the visit will be a part of the show, but it was, at least, a "post-bday hang," as Fieri wrote on Instagram, that culminated with Hagar gifting him a guitar.

"My brother from a different mother stopped by the studio today to pick up his belated birthday present," Hagar wrote on Tuesday. "Out of a couple hundred guitars, this is what he chose."

Fieri also made sure to stop by and visit CHP officers in Rohnert Park on Wednesday, to "say thank you to the men and women on the front lines" of fighting the massive wildfires that spread across the North Bay last October.

As the Press-Democrat reported, Fieri made an impromptu visit to the offices to bake up pizzas.

"Last night, some 'Guy' and his crew came to our office to feed the troops because they wanted to thank us in the wake of the fire," the CHP in Santa Rosa wrote on Facebook. "Great time, great food! Thanks Guy Fieri for your appreciation! Our Captain now knows how to make a pizza!"
