Kevin Cooper, who was named champion of Guys' Chance of a Lifetime in 2022, recently sued Fieri, alleging breach of contract. "As winner, Cooper says he was supposed to receive the following: his own Chicken Guy franchise with franchise fees waived; assistance with the build-out of the space for the franchise; any operational expenses after the first year that exceeded the revenue of that first year; $10,000 to be applied to any necessary legal expenses; and a guaranteed minimum salary for the first year of $100,000," reports Philly Mag's Victoria Fiorillo. In his lawsuit, Cooper "alleges that the defendants never paid him the $100,000 minimum salary despite numerous requests for it and that they likewise failed to cover the operational expenses that exceeded revenue during the first year. According to the lawsuit, those expenses total close to $69,000 and include close to $39,000 in Pennsylvania sales tax alone."
