The Chefs Who Want Nothing To Do With Guy Fieri (& Those Who Love Him)

[@MashedFood]

Do you love Guy or do you want nothing to do with him?

[@teeteestar3012]

I was a big fan of Triple D back in the day, but then I found out that Guy Fieri is homophobic. After that, I lost my respect for him. In a world of cancel culture, I don’t know why it hasn’t caught up to him yet.

[@SoleEpiphany]

Food network has gone to shit the last decade or more so I watch stuff on KZbin now.

[@tjdevroede3882]

If you're going to do a show about someone, at least say his name right. Fieri, not Feiti. Not that I Iike him.

Guy is an absolute Boss for what he has done for Mom and Pop restaurants.

[@agneslong2323]

That's their problem---Mom & Pops shouldn't exist in their world. They spent a lot of time and money on fancy schools instead of learning the practical way so they have to denigrate others in order to project superiority.

Not sure if anyone remembers it, but Guy's Grocery Game reminds me of that classic game show named Supermarket Sweep .. minus the cooking at the end of course.

[@nonofyabidnez5737]

Guy seems relatable and down to earth tbh

[@saintanger3421]

I’m surprised how negative the overall tone of the comments are. Guy Fieri certainly isn’t for everyone but the publicity he gave small restaurants in DDD helped a lot of people.

[@timothykozlowski2945]

I liked Parts Unknown with Anthony Bourdain

[@jimdellavecchia4594]

Fieri busted his butt to get where he is. I am tired of him but give him the utmost credit. Jealousy is a really bad thing

[@RobertDePinto]

Love this dude and his DDD was great, especially in the early days.

[@cynthiasmith4130]

I love watching him on Diners Drive-N and Drives!!!! To many shows!!!

[@p.j.b.9999]

Guy uses his fame and popularity to raise money and support for a lot of worthy causes. He cooked food (that he donated) for firefighters in California's wildfires. He supports small business restaurants and restaurant workers, both financially and by encouraging public support. He donates to young people looking for careers in the food industry. I've never heard him say anything mean or nasty about anyone. Can't say any of that about Bourdain.

[@davemanone3661]

His favorite worthy cause is himself, have you seen how he lives compared to the people that work for him?

[@EffigiesReign]

Having worked with, for and amongst some of these celebrity chefs, i have to say Chef Fieri is one of the kindest and most humble people I've met. Buordain on the other hand, well if I cant say anything nice...

[@ItzBwo]

It’s pretty obvious which side of the industry takes exception to Guy- real chefs (or at least those who grinded to greater pastures through their culinary careers). As a tv personality Guy might be corny but he’s very affective and has helped countless businesses. But as a chef/restauranteur he’s widely considered as a joke, kind of a culture vulture. I always loved when Anthony would take jabs at him (RIP ❤)

[@davemanone3661]

He is not a chef, he is just another guy that knows how to cook.

[@JohnLowell-xs8ro]

For the most part, going to a celebrity Chef's restaurant is usually a high-priced letdown.

You people can say what you want about guy, but if he wasn't anygood the food network would get rid of him. The man has done a lot for people outside of his programs. He has helped people that has been on his shows with medical, and money issues. To me thats a real person folks.

Guy makes cooking fun. His haters are one with STUCK UP ATTITUDE. GUY is laughing all the way to the BANK

[@jkhegarty857]

GF had a restaurant in NYC called "Guy's American Restaurant & Bar." Sorry to throw shade, but the food came cold, the chicken was rubbery & lacked service. My family did not care for their food either. This location was on 43rd Street, off of Broadway, and it was a week day at 4 pm. The place was dead. Because the wait staff must have been on a break, I had to go to the bar to request to speak to our waiter. FYI, this restaurant is now permanently closed. After only serving for 5 years, it closed down at the end of 2017.

[@donald1576]

I cooked professionally for 30 years and love triple D . I cooked in several places just like he highlights on Triple D cooked and fine dining restaurants as well he's got a great show and a great personality it doesn't have a stick up his butt like so many of the professional chefs do especially the ones that criticize you he's done a lot for the little guy

[@charlesdelong5479]

Lost its appeal since Emeril & the original chefs were cancelled

[@popestar4300]

Guy is nothing more than a game show host. Hs cooking is less than spectacular.

[@joshkrahenbuhl5002]

Bourdain didn't even like himself. Not much of a point to put him on the list.

[@RobertDePinto]

100%. And I never understood why everyone loved him. Just never got him, or his shows.

[@lordbraunschweiger7814]

"when Bourdain passed away" lol thats one way to put it.

[@creativechef25]

I personally can't stand Guy Fieri, the first time I saw him on Food Network I was asking myself "where did they dig this guy up from? It looks like he permanently glued meringue on his head but forgot to torch it". He appears TOO MUCH on Food Network from the syndicated reruns of the Diner, Drive-ins, & Dives to the other 4-5 shows, possibly more. There's a thing called oversaturation and Fieri is one of the textbook definitions of it.

[@danielabilez3619]

😂

[@NipItInTheBud100]

I agree! I have always found him to be obnoxious

[@cynthiathomas404]

Such an accurate description of him I totally agree

[@NBZW]

He had an episode on a chili joint in Renton, Wa. Said nothing but high praise, pure BS. I was aquatinted with the bowel of greasy slop not fit for dogs to eat. Never watched another episode.

[@1stp4ward]

I'm on the "could do without him" side. He gets too much air time for dumb shows he's doing now. I hardly even watch the food network anymore.

[@sueellenwalsh1326]

I agree. Food Network has become stale & kitschy. I prefer to watch food programs on PBS.

What I dislike about him is that when he goes to these restaurants and goes into asking the chefs how they create their meals ..he interrupts and takes over their conversations as if he knows better than they do what they are cooking and if that's the case ..then why bother asking them..he also judge them a lot especially when it comes to how much ingredients they used to cook their food..otherwise, he comes across as a Mr. Know It All

Guy is fun and entertaining but way overexposed. He could last for decades if we only saw him weekly.

I avoid Fieri but like the concept of D3. Unfortunately, the host is rude, condescending, and extremely unfunny. It’s a shame he believes he’s the reason people watch, when it’s really about the restaurants and the cooks. There are other shows that do it well. I’ll watch them, instead. Does anyone remember when the channels cared about how to cook? I miss that.

[@barbaraparker6996]

Yes. I have so many recipes from back then and l learned soooo much from those cooks and chefs. One show l miss really bad is The Next Food Network Star. I was always so excited to watch the winners new show and support them. But that had to be canceled since the Network isn't about cooking anymore.
