NY Times: "Fuck You, Guy Fieri."

[Lord of The Curry]

Hey Meatball! was a good choice because their shit is right. A few other choices (Bloor Street Diner, Rosedale Diner) are questionable. Stockyards was a good one, easily the best bbq in town.

I'm just glad he didn't do Burgers Priest. Most overrated eatery in Toronto. I have quite a few restaraunt owners/chefs from some big name places that come into my bank and it seems that place is kinda that laughing stock of the culinary scene.

Wondering if they were trying to avoid places Bourdain went to on the Layover (which included the aforementioned Burgers Priest and Caplanskys)

Also assuming that locations are also based on who is willing to shut down for a day or so to accomodate filming.

John Catucci also was at Caplansky's for You Gotta Eat Here.

 

[starvenger]

Do they even get that show in the US?

Caplansky's been on Dragon's Den at least twice as well. Maybe he's just a publicity whore.

Speaking of which, we got some Caplansky's delivered to us at work - brisket, grilled beef salami and turkey. Good stuff, but I think I like Switzer's better.

This one isn't as devastating, but it's worth reading just for the below paragraph.

What Villard Michel Richard’s $28 fried chicken does to Southern cooking, its $40 veal cheek blanquette does to French. A classic blanquette is a gentle, reassuring white stew of sublimely tender veal. In this version, the veal cheeks had the dense, rubbery consistency of overcooked liver. Slithering around the meat was a terrifying sauce the color of jarred turkey gravy mixed with cigar ashes. If soldiers had killed Escoffier’s family in front of him and then forced him to make dinner, this is what he would have cooked.

damn

We ate at Guy's American Bar and Grill this week!! They've had five years to improve and....its not god awful but it's not good. My food was edible, but my wife's was not. And the table was covered with a thin piece of brown paper, covering the table cloth that was dirty, and there was an extra table setting that was unclean, as well as my wife's knife was clearly dirty.

And when we left it was pointed out to me that no one in the restaurant looked happy. It sounds like a joke but I looked around and it was true. The only ones in their smiling besides the staff were us, and that's because we were in on the joke.

Oh and to no surprise they tried to charge me for my free drink. Fuckers.

And he won! He's got a full series! I had no idea. I tried getting it out of him but he said if he blabbed to anybody it would violate the contract. The new show (Eat Sleep BBQ) is going to air Saturdays at 9PM.

it's shutting down.

Surprised it lasted this long. Restaurants don't last long in Times Square but somehow Planet Hollywood is still there.

[Lord of The Curry]

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I read that all of the food he uses for staging on the set of Guys Grocery Games gets donated to local shelters when filming wraps.

Thousands sign petition to rename Columbus, Ohio to 'Flavortown' after native son Guy Fieri | CNN

The city of Columbus, Ohio, has already vowed to bring down its statue of Christopher Columbus that stands in front of City Hall. But tens of thousands are hoping to erase the city's connection to Columbus' tainted legacy even further by renaming it Flavortown in honor of hometown hero Guy Fieri.

My dawg getting paid. He's a meme, but I legit think he's a great person, after finding out how much he would help out the restaurants that were on his shows during Covid. He was keeping them afloat.

 

[Epic Springs]

Yeah I read something about him recently that people are actually starting to warm up the guy after decades of bashing him. I still think he looks like a douche and I've certainly given him shit in the past but I've read nothing but praise for his humanitarian efforts which should be celebrated.
