Hotel Ivanhoe Saloon on Main Street in Ferndale has been a Humboldt County institution since the Victorian-era Ivanhoe Hotel opened, combining a historic California saloon with Italian comfort food in a setting that makes it one of the most atmospheric dining experiences in Guy Fieri’s Northern California hometown. It appeared in Season 19, Episode 1 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Guy’s Hometown Tour,” which aired February 7, 2014 — a special episode in which Guy returned to his hometown of Ferndale to feature the local restaurants and food producers that shaped his early food obsession. Guy Fieri grew up in Ferndale, and the Ivanhoe Saloon is part of the community that informed the cooking philosophy he has celebrated across the entire DDD run.
