[To Guy Fieri] "The man, the legend, the guy who just dropped a 500-seat deuce into Times Square ... Look at this thing, look, look! It’s like TGI Friday’s and Nickelback fucked Giant’s Stadium, and out came this. Who put up the money for this?" — Anthony Bourdain

"Anthony, I gotta ask a question, why do you hate me so much brother? ... Is it because you went to a fancy culinary school and I didn’t? I hear you’re the only one in class who did most of his cooking with a spoon and a Bic lighter." — Guy Fieri

this one is pretty good

man some of those are ice. cold.

do these guys hire freelance zing writers or something? I mean bourdain's are basically in character but I wonder if guy came up w/ that

His are weaker than everyone else's so I'd say yeah.

It turns out Ted Allen can be a cruel motherfucker

The backstory on Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives: http://www.citypages.com/2011-10-12/restaurants/guy-fieri-in-diners-drive-ins-and-disasters/all/

worth reading

Fieri's onscreen talents and Page's backroom production made for a formidable team. In his 2008 book, Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, Fieri called Page a "creative genius" and declared Page Productions "the best in the world."

But as his star power grew, Fieri stopped returning Page's phone calls. When NBC hired Fieri to film the primetime game show Minute to Win It, Guy started canceling shoots with Page. A posse of friends—a bawdy band of homeboys with names like Gorilla, Kleetus, and Dirty P.—trailed Guy everywhere, and his manager, Tom Nelson, took to calling himself "the consigliore." The group became known as the Garlic Mafia, and Fieri styled himself as the mob boss.

"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!'"

From then on, show researchers were required to note any indications of homosexuality detected during pre-interviews. (Fieri declined to comment for this story through his spokespeople.)

Former field producer Kari Kloster confirms that Fieri made the odd demand about gay guests, and says she witnessed the star become more controlling on set.

Fieri responds to the City Pages article: http://blogs.citypages.com/food/2011/10/guy_fieri_jesse_derris_city_pages.php

chicken wing ain't nothing but meat on the bone. suck it and chew it and leave it alone.

Coffined tater tots around me, in sausagecases, embalmed in spice of donkeys.

"Rachael Ray, your food is like poison. Do the world a favor and feed it to Guy Fieri. He’s so annoying. I think he wears his sunglasses backwards so people get confused and don’t punch him in the face. I think it’d be an improvement if people punched you in the face. You’re like if Billy Idol and a hippo had a baby." — Bonnie McFarlane

ugh, capital grammar crimes

i have been saying GOBBLE GOBBLE, FULL THROBBLE to myself all weekend.

Mr. Dana didn’t agree, and left a threatening voicemail on my phone; the tag line, in particular, infuriated him. I called him back, pointed out that I’d named his steakhouse’s burger the Best Burger in Chicago a year ago, and if he wanted to injure me after the Ballo review, he owed me flowers for the burger piece. He joked that the flowers would be arriving in the form of a funeral wreath. Hey, flowers are flowers.

Enh, Rachel Ray ain't really annoying; her most egregious crime is the increasingly creepy feeling I get from seeing her rictus grin morph over the years on her magazine covers prominently displayed in checkout aisles

have you actually watched her show?

someone gave us a rachel ray cookbook, kind of an "easy meals for busy moms" type thing, and we really like it, good stuff and lets you make a lot of meals cheap and fast

that said, her craft, as it were, is in getting something serviceable to the table. usually nothing that's going to be elevating your cooking skills or breaking out of the standard american table fare. she's not throwing together restaurants or trying to pass herself off as a chef.

have you actually watched her show?

Eff no. The only daytime access I have to cable TV is flipping around the channels at my parents' house during holiday visits. It's the kinda show where you arrive at it, immediately think "yeah this isn't for me and her short haircut ain't helping her", then flip on to see if the parents' cable subscription includes Turner Classic or not

rachel ray is just the newest incarnation of betty crocker cookbooks, the recipe section from redbook/good housekeeping/etc etc

I haven't watched it in forever and don't even know if it's still on, but I made a lot of recipes from her 30 Minute Meals show. Her whole schtick annoys the heck out of me, but I agree that she excels at the "easy meals for busy" people kind of cooking.

I have watched her talk show with my grandmother on more than one occasion and that is a miserable way to spend an hour, however. Gah. The things I do for you, Mom Mom.

I've got nothing against perky, some of my favorite people are so perky they make Rachel Ray look like Ian Curtis, but the "EVOO" and "yummers" shit is awful.

Rachael Ray is on broadcast television

but what the hell was this shit: her short haircut ain't helping her

are you sure you aren't thinking of someone completely different?

m@tt totally otm about her niche, though

she's pretty cute

Ray opens a dozen cans, pours the contents into pots, sprinkles oregano, done.

best rachael ray game is to watch an old episode and a brand new one and then try to pretend she doesn't chain smoke when off-camera

if one day aliens come to earth and ask to speak with our representative, I hope to God that we send Guy Fieri

I always had a suspicion you hated the human race, frog.

She's on broadcast TV now too? I only thought she still did the food TV show and Oprah/morning-chat appearances

She has a syndicated Marthastewartish show now too.

this isn't really true at least the cookbook we have

this thread is making me hungry

what we're really missing here is shakey mo's take

this isn't really true at least the cookbook we have

Yeah I've noticed she's refined herself the last three or four years.

i wonder if these 'everyman' cooking show personalities like Ray or Fieri get rich and start going to fancy restaurants and hiring personal chefs and are like "ohhh i see fine dining, this stuff ain't bad!"

rachael ray and guy fieri are not comparable
