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.

[@Slavic_Boer]

@@teeteestar3012 Who cares if he is. Grow up.

[@Jams27]

​@teeteestar3012 his sister was homosexual, and he officiated several gay weddings.... not sure where you're getting your info.

[@shelt370]

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.

[@christinadarr7891]

Loved that show! Grab the big hams!!

[@shelt370]

@@christinadarr7891 Me too. I wish they’d make a modern day reboot. I currently watch rerun episodes on Tubi 😂

[@KittyCatTV]

@@shelt370They did a 2020 version with Leslie Jones as the host.

[@shelt370]

@@KittyCatTV What happened to it ?

[@KittyCatTV]

@@shelt370 Guessing it didn't get renewed. I watched several episodes and enjoyed it, but it only ran until 2022.

[@danielabilez3619]

One comitted suicide. One still thrives. To each their own

[@timothykozlowski2945]

I liked Parts Unknown with Anthony Bourdain

[@chriszenko3598]

The only show I watch on the FN is Guy. What’s wrong with his show he gives small town chefs a chance to showcase their talents

[@josephzulueta3734]

I don't watch the guy fieri network anymore

[@JohnDoe-xu2vx]

I actually love watching Triple D

[@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 ❤)

[@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.

[@johncheese4825]

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

[@8BloodyKnuckles]

I’m not a fan of the man but damn…so much hate for someone who enjoys what he does, while showcasing other restaurants. He helped put a couple places on the map in Colorado.

[@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

[@popestar4300]

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

[@lordhumongous4272]

Precisely. The Food Network turned into a game show network once that dork became their poster boy.

[@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

[@evolancer211]

Whenever Bourdain roasted Guy, it was always great

[@sebaztionabsolution]

justin warner succs 2.

[@bosch9905]

Anthony Bourdain is a miserable guy.

[@Poopyduckling9999]

​@@bosch9905 never procreate, you understand.

[@user-lv4kt6oq5u]

Jealousy can kill you.

[@jamesboswell760]

I’ve heard that Guy really isn’t all that good of a chef 👨‍🍳 I’ve never gotten a chance to eat his food so I don’t really know.

[@AbsoluteNut1]

He's a rip off.

[@chriskeen7174]

He doesn't have to. He has staff at his restaurants! He's just the big brain in charge.

[@KNGSLYR1669]

I was not expecting to hear the names Opie and Anthony. Bring em back

[@christopherbailey1624]

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

[@anthonymcnatt3799]

Mayor of Flavortown everybody! 👏

[@dramonmaster222]

I mean Guy does have the best personality for TV hosting but he does get too much airtime that could be given to other chefs.

[@Jams27]

Guy Fieri is an absolute good in this world. Its fine if you think he's obnoxious or whatever, but if you actively dislike him you should probably take a good look in the mirror

[@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.

[@whocares4464]

Guy came to a kitchen i worked at lol

[@Ootgreet1]

SNL did great parodies of Guy Fieri such as getting eaten by a flock of foodie crows. I like the guy. His personality is super cheesy, pure Americana.

[@peaches3392]

I Have Been With The Food Network Since Day 1, ( NOW The Food Game Network 😢) Yes I Am Very Old. Not No More. I Feel I Loss My Best Friend.I Can't Stand The Man!! He Loves To Drop Names, That Hair?? He Is Loud, His Main Show Would Be So Much Better With More Focus On The Food And Restaurants. You Would Think The Food Network Would Learn Not To Put All There Eggs In One Basket. They Have Been Burnt Several Times. It's No Secret Guy And His Fan's Support The Hate Party. Plus He Can't Cook.

[@leeeakin936]

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.

[@DMaria216]

RIP Anthony Bourdain 💗 To make that spoon comment then say “who acts like he does” when all he made was a stupid joke is pretty pathetic.

[@Bloodangel979]

I ❤ anthony bourdain & David chang spot on !!!! Guy fieri doesn't represent the culinary world ,just himself & ratings !!!!

[@lovebeaches4255]

I fail to see what FN sees in him. BTW, his real name is Guido Ferry. Just one more way to tell he is a fraud. He yells rather than talks on his shows. Who wants to watch that? The best description I have ever heard of him was when someone said, "he is a no talent, Chili's line cook." I could not agree more. Has anyone learned anything from him? I have not

[@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

[@Batmandabomb]

I dont like him

[@jesseliggins2031]

I used to eatch a lot now occasionally

[@dugwthree]

i like him i guess. Not a fan of all he does. I remember when he won a cooking competion that propelled him to this fame he has now. i like triple D a lot. I a fan

[@sebaztionabsolution]

when anthony Bourdain roasted guy fieri - who wears flip flops in a kitchen we knew guy was a pure plant, hac an celebrity chef.

[@junewilliams4752]

Guy and Flay on Food Network. TOO MUCH! Give someone else a chance.

[@traceymay9951]

Guy does give off LA (lower Alabama) trailer park vibes

[@cruzerinc1563]

Am I the only one who skipped past the first half of this video?

[@TheBearAspirin]

Do people still like Alton Brown?

[@Sulaeyes]

I enjoy GF and respect what he does for communities and small restaurants. What I don’t like is the nepotism. I can’t stand it when his inexperienced son tries to mimic his dad with chefs.

[@amidazad4832]

I don’t watch cooking shows anymore. It’s lost the concept of simple real cooking, teaching audiences how to cook, what ingredients to use. It’s more like stupid game show and politically motivated cooking competition. It’s not enjoyable to watch like it used to be.

[@siamiam4306]

Anthony Bourdain was right about this guy.

[@kain9407]

The cooking game shows are annoying and Guy's personality may not be everyone's cup of tea but there is 0 reason to hate him. Mario Batali is apparently a scum bag so his thoughts are pretty irrelavent.

[@rogerlongfellow205]

I’d love to watch this but, like trump, after a few seconds of even looking at Fieri, never mind listening to him, I get nauseous. Nothing but a media whore. Always will love Bourdain.

[@winstonsmith6166]

I think he s full of himself and RUDE to many folks on his show.

[@joshkrahenbuhl5002]

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

[@danielabilez3619]

They are of two. Shows with classic hardcore techniques. Then again comfort food, hot dogs and hamburgers are food too. Burritos are food too. Arrogance and Vanity... let him be. If all you can do is talk about Guy, than your life must be lacking.

[@user-og6oo5dx6d]

So many jealous wanna be 5 star chefs in the comments lmao . Yall mad you cant make it to his level hahahhahahaa

[@mb0314]

Guy is NOT Italian! He made it up when he opened up his restaurant. Not sure, but I assume it’s an Italian restaurant and he wanted to pass as an Italian.

[@joshhalim]

Guy is homophobic. Also i don't like watching him on Food Network. Too much shows on him.

[@weeyee60]

I’m exhausted from his shouting, when he talks…😵‍💫

[@JohnDoe-xu2vx]

I know Guy is pretty cheesy but you gotta give him credit for all he has accomplished.

[@srezzy1326]

I really like him. He donates millions of dollars to charities.

[@cayandres6057]

guy fieri is not liked because he is so successful! the people (non chefs) love him!

[@markcollins2666]

But you must look at what he's successful AT: He is, first and foremost, a TV personality. Of course, viewers love him, but that's not to say he's a legit celebrity chef. He just plays one on TV.

[@anthonymcnatt3799]

I like him because he's like ooh what's that nom mmmmhmm great! But it's lettuce!

[@lovebeaches4255]

Nope, just don't like the person he is

[@felixdiaz9227]

Can not stand him...guy isn't a real chef..just like half of the food network...put Bobby flay in there too...can't stand him either

[@pamelageorge8275]

He’s too exposed! Back off! Is there someone/something else you could entertain us with? 🤷‍♀️
