Hundreds of fans lined up outside the store in advance hoping to catch a quick glimpse of Fieri. Some fans even dressed up in creative costumes.

The restaurateur and TV personality was promoting his new Santo Tequila, a liquor he created with well-known rocker Sammy Hagar.

According to the Santo Tequila website, the liquor is inspired by an original family method developed more than 80 years ago. The tequila starts with 100% Blue Weber agave, slow-roasted in traditional stone ovens. Double-distilled in copper pots and rested in American white oak barrels, the liquor is the "purest expression of agave flavor — the backbone of true tequila."
