Read More »Guy Fieri has recently become a thing on social media. If you haven’t perused through TikTok to see him vibing at a rock concert, you might have seen one of his mock movie posters on Instagram. In August, Fieri inserted an image of himself over Brad Pitt on a prank poster for “Burger Train” (i.e., “Bullet Train”); and in September, he photoshopped himself into a poster for “Don’t Worry Diner” (i.e., “Don’t Worry Darling”), with the tagline “Welcome to Flavortown” and a caption that’s a wink and a nod to star Harry Styles’ now-infamous quotable from the Venice press conference. Despite his love for movies, Fieri is no entertainment expert. When asked to play a game of pop culture trivia at breakfast at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, Fieri is unaware of Elton John’s new single with Britney Spears, though he thinks it’s cool, and responds, “When do we get to talk about food?” His new show at Food Network, “Guy’s Ultimate Game Night,” which launched earlier this month, pairs his admiration for pop culture with his culinary expertise. The wacky food competition sees celebrities compete for charity — and a gold-dipped frying pan. At breakfast, Fieri has barely introduced himself before he says, “I don’t know whose idea this was, but this is a terrible idea. I hate breakfast.” He explains that his typical morning routine includes working out and then grabbing a coffee and running out the door. Disliking breakfast might be the most surprising thing about the famed chef, who proceeded to order avocado toast, grilled asparagus, turkey bacon and an Americano with half-and-half. (Fun fact: he hates scrambled eggs.) Sitting down with Fieri, who is wearing Triple D rings, the A-list chef is exactly what he seems to be on TV: a fun-loving, high-spirited dude, who certainly acts nothing like he’s one of the most recognizable figures in pop culture — thanks to his bleached-blond spiked hair, goatee and metal jewelry. Ever since Fieri won the second season of “Food Network Star” in 2006, his star has catapulted to great heights. Today, he hosts six of his own shows at Food Network, and is the network’s highest-paid star, inking a multi-year deal in 2021 for a reported $80 million. (Food Network declined to comment on Fieri’s salary, though a source familiar with his deal tells Variety the figure is accurate.) Three years ago, Fieri became the third celebrity chef to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (after Wolfgang Puck and Bobby Flay), and he wanted a party fit for his eccentric ways. While most artists have a celebratory luncheon following their star ceremony, Fieri had a full rock concert. “They said, ‘Where do you want to have your luncheon after your star?’ And I said, ‘What’s a luncheon? I don’t want a fucking luncheon. I want a rager. I want a kegger.’” Fieri offered to make burgers for 1,000 people. He suggested Mötley Crüe or another of his favorite bands perform. “I said, ‘Let’s do something big. I’m really serious.’” Fieri got what he asked for — and that’s not all. “What do you do after the network throws you the greatest party and all your buddies are there and Foreigner plays and it starts to rain?” Fieri says. “Well, you load up 10 of your best friends and drive to the tattoo shop and you all get star tattoos. I think I’m probably the only person who got a star and went to get a tattoo for it.” This is just one of the many stories Fieri tells at the breakfast table. He speaks often about spreading positivity and living life to the fullest, while sharing personal anecdotes at seemingly rapid fire. When asked about the one celebrity he geeked out over, he casually recalls meeting one of his idols at Arnold Schwarzenegger’s home. “I said, ‘If I’m coming over, I’ve gotta cook,'” Fieri shares. “He said, ‘No, no, no, we’ll order sandwiches.’ I said, ‘I’m not not cooking.’ So, I’m there cooking and Sylvester Stallone comes in — and then, in walks Al Pacino.” In telling this story, Fieri’s jaw is on the ground. “It was like the meeting of the titans,” he raves. “I said, ‘Al, can I make you something to eat?'” The “Godfather” actor asked for pasta, but not too spicy. “I’m terrified to ask him. I said, ‘Sir, how is it?'” After Pacino took a bite, he told Fieri he liked the dish; the chef had to step outside to get some fresh air, he was so excited. Fieri randomly recalls another time he was asked to cook for high-profile guests. He was at his friend and “Top Chef” alum Michael Voltaggio’s house for NBA All Star weekend where a few hundred people were over for a party that lasted into the wee hours of the morning. The guests were hungry, but Voltaggio’s kitchen was relatively empty. And so, Fieri did what he could with the ingredients available: garlic bread, ramen and kimchi. To this day, whenever Fieri bumps into athletes, they still compliment him on the ramen sandwiches.

Read More »It took me three network presidents to get “Tournament of Champions.” They finally said, “We’re going to do this show, but we’re not going to do the live audience,” and I said, “Bullshit! You can’t do a live show without a live audience.” I asked why. They came back to me and said the real reason is they were over-budget. It was around $75K for the live audience. So, I said, “Okay, I’ll pay for the live audience out of my pocket.” They said, “What? Okay. Alright.” So, we do the first day and the first challenge, and we’re walking out of there, and the big boss says to me, “This is unbelievable. You know what I really like the most? I really love the live audience.” I go, “Huh! You don’t say!”
