"It'll be five hours of fun, I promise you that," Guy Fieri tells PEOPLE of the third annual Guy’s Flavortown Tailgate at Mardi Gras World in New Orleans during Super Bowl 2025.

As for food, Fieri said he picked some of the restaurants from his long list of favorites that he has visited for his show "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" and a few other spots on his radar in Louisiana. The list was whittled down to 11 restaurants, and each will have complimentary bites for attendees and food for purchase.

Flavor Flav and Guy Fieri's Flavortown are a match made in heaven. The Public Enemy rapper is set to perform at Fieri's third annual Flavortown Tailgate ahead of the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans, La.

The SEAR-1 rating is granted based on national security importance. While New Orleans typically receives a SEAR-2 designation due to the large crowds during Mardi Gras, the recent New Year’s attack that killed 14 innocent people will increase the federal assistance provided to the city.

Mardi Gras has been deemed the highest threat level under the Department of Homeland Security's Special Event Assessment Rating system for the first time, in response to the Jan. 1 vehicle attack on Bourbon Street that killed 14.

As New Orleans kicks off its extravagant Carnival season this week, Louisiana is launching a new investigation into the New Year’s Day massacre that killed 14 people while the city will get more federal resources to help prevent another horrific attack.
