Fieri explained that the ceramic pieces that make up the artwork have sentimental and familial value, too. “All of these plates were part of our dish set from our family,” he said.
The visual isn’t just found in his home, it is something he carries with him always as a tattoo on his forearm.
“Celebrate her every day, particularly on her birthday. Love you, Morgan,” he signed off the video.

In October 2022, Fieri spoke toRoss Mathewsaboutthe power of psychic readingsand how he got in touch with his late friendCarl Ruizand his sister.
He told Mathews that several late loved ones spoke during the reading, including Ruiz, but he didn’t sense his sister immediately. “I said, ‘Where’s my sister?’ and [the medium] goes, ‘Your sister has been here the whole time. Your sister is actually a little concerned. She talks to you every day, she says you guys are in a constant level of communication,'” he recalled.

“And she starts depicting to me things that nobody in the world [would] know what’s going on. I mean it is goosebump city what I’m telling you,” he said.
