I'm surprised he doesn't end up in nyc more, w/ the food network headquarters here? but I guess he is set up on the west coast. not that the food network needs more shows talking about nyc restaurants.
in my head I sorta have the food network mapped into 'blue state shows' (iron chef, bobby flay, chopped, the reality tv shows) and 'red state shows' (unwrapped, guy etc.)

looking at a supermarket sushi snack pack which proudly announces "no raw fish"
thinking of how delighted some dude in a suit probably was when a focus group said that they would buy sushi for lunch except they weren't sure about "raw fish", and he realised that without the fuss of expensive cuts of good fish and proper curing he could now sell two tablespoons of white rice, a tiny sliver of seaweed, three 0.6cm squares of red pepper, three 0.6cm squares of cucumber, and a teaspoon of tinned tuna + mayo for £3 a go

I had no idea until right now that Tex Wasabi was Guy Fieri's fault. There's a bunch of them around Sacramento and they were always just so WTF to me. Barbecue and Sushi? NO! FUCK NO!. But now that I know it's Guy, the unholy marriage makes so much more sense. Like, Ohhhh. Of course!! GROSS.

I actually spent a couple months at UNLV for a job. it's a really shitty place and it's getting worse as nevada continues its downward spiral. student center looks like a small airplane food court and is probably the most impressive part of campus. students would probably struggle at a better state's city colleges.

"You have to protect Guy from all of his poop jokes," Page says. "Anytime any woman mentioned 'cream,' Guy went into a sexual riff. When cutting the show, you had to tell the editors to watch Guy's eye line, because it's always on breasts."Fieri also needed protection from homosexuals, or at least advance warning. Early in the show's run, Page got a phone call from Fieri, who'd just walked out of a restaurant in a huff."Guy had decided that the two men running the restaurant were life partners," Page remembers. "He said, 'You can't send me to talk to gay people without warning! Those people weird me out!'"

tbh I am totally marvelling at this paragraph
Auditioning for commercials is not unlike competing on Food Network Star, in that you can be really effective — even Olympic-level proficient — at staring out a window or pretending to scoop ice cream, but still not book a job because whatever is charming or honest about you is concealed by the thick inches of air separating you from the camera lens, a dense custard of infinity that filters the humanity right out of the monologue

Last week, Alton Brown pinched his nasal bridge and tried to save a contestant on his team (whose "P.O.V." was health food, after having lost over a hundred pounds) by sharing a distinctly Alton Brown–like serving of profundity on what it is like to be overweight — one has to sell oneself because one feels so unattractive, so clumsy. It was sort of moving: So, Alton was once fat. The contestant cried, and then was eliminated. Nobody tasted his food.

Ok Guy Fieri, now it's personal.
So as mentioned previously, he was featuring my favorite sandwich shop on his show. I go there today for some lunch and find a line out the door and down the block. I don't care how awesome their food is, I'm not waiting in line for an hour in 90+ weather just to get a sandwich. My only hope now is that the mania either trails off or they expand.
Fuuuccckkk yoooouuu Guy Fieri!!!!
