    I know nothing about the man, but I get the feeling that although people like to make fun of his television persona, the actual Guy Fieri is a decent person.

    Of course, now that I’ve said this, someone will point out all the horrible things he’s done that I didn’t know about.

      I just googled guy Fieri controversies and got a couple juicy hits.

      https://www.salon.com/2023/07/17/anthony-bourdain-was-right-about-guy-fieri/

      https://www.mashed.com/1551664/guy-fieri-forgotten-failures/

      Also there’s a non zero chance he’s not being honest about being on ozempic based on this entirely BS article.

          Guy personally tortures the animals himself. It’s the suffering that makes them so tasty. That’s why veal is amazing.

          Hey militant vegans, I’ll stop posting on your communities if you stop doing this bullshit under every post that involves an animal. Agreed?

            I’m not vegan or even vegetarian but why are you fighting with people who just want the betterment of the lives of animals? If you don’t like it just ignore it, why fight them?

              they don’t want the betterment of the lives of animals, they have an ideological opposition to human exploitation of animals. there is overlap, but there is a distinction.

                The distinction is completely unimportant and irrelevant… why do they want that? Because they want to reduce animal misery

                  they don’t care if lions eat every other animal on earth. it’s not about suffering. it’s about exploitation.

      Lindsay Ellis did a nice video essay on the guy which I enjoyed which said something similar. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find it now - it might only be on nebula.

    He fried for our sins.

    TIL Guy Fieri fed 5,000 fire evacuees a day during the 2017 Santa Rosa wildfires.

    And Guy Fieri went up on the hill, and seeing the great crowd that had gathered, he said to his disciples, “Bring forth the burgers and the fries.” But they said to him, “We have only five burgers and two baskets of fries.”

    Guy replied, “Have the people sit down.” Then he took the burgers and fries, looked up to the sky, and blessed them. Breaking the burgers and dividing the fries, he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people.

    They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve baskets full of leftovers. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

      I feel like we’ve wrapped back around to guys with that look generally being chill these days to be honest. That’s been my experience at least

        Once that look was no longer “in style”, anyone who cared primarily about looking cool (more likely your fake, shallow, self-absorbed ones) went with another look.

        Anyone who stuck with it at that point, especially when it became completely uncool, was still doing it because they personally liked it, accepting the judgement/ridicule. That’s pretty genuine commitment to something, which suggests they’re more of a genuine person in other areas of life too.
