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

[shelt]

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.

[danielabilez]

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

[BloodyKnuckles]

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.

[johncheese]

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

[timothykozlowski]

I liked Parts Unknown with Anthony Bourdain

[cynthiasmith]

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

[p.j.b.]

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.

[saintanger]

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.

[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 ❤)

[jimdellavecchia]

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

[chriszenko]

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

[evolancer]

Whenever Bourdain roasted Guy, it was always great

[JohnLowell-xsro]

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

[JohnnieWatkins-dkpc]

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

[jkhegarty]

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.

[josephzulueta]

I don't watch the guy fieri network anymore

[OleensEmbroidery]

How do the get "Fietti" out of Fieri?

[lordbraunschweiger]

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

[jtmet]

Funny that all The Guy haters are washed up has beens. I absolutely love Guy!
