now THIS is an ally
Awe dude his sister died last year and she was gay.
And he had this huge mass wedding party to honor her.
And he called a bunch of celebrity chefs to make the food for it.
Wow this isā¦ really cute?
Iāmā¦ sympathizing with Guy Fieri?
(And he did 101 gay weddings because he was trying to compare the Attorney General against marriage equality to Cruella DeVille, like, 101 dalmations.)
THE TRUE UNPROBLEMATIC FAVE
Come to think of it I never actually found a single reason to dislike him. To my knowledge heās just a goofball who likes food.
Okay, so as far as I can tell, the whole thing people kinda roll their eyes about is Guy Fiereiās whole presentation. Heās loud and heās got the bleached hair and he kinda seems like the annoying frat bro chantingĀ āShots!ā at a party.Ā
But.
Dudeās biggest show on TV is one where he drives around and highlights tiny restaurants that make good food. (And they do- I found my favorite pizza place in town because it was on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.) And theyāre all little places, usually run by family or something, making food they love. So heās doing an amazingly awesome thing for these small restaurants, driving a lot of business to them. I found this article thatās talking about how places see a definite bump in sales, and they can even tell when a repeat airs, because theyāll still get emails and stuff.Ā
And thereās the fact that every time he goes out to film an episode, he invites a kid along from the Make-a-Wish foundation- actually, he invites their whole family, so no one feels left out. Apparently, that happens on all his shows, which is pretty amazing. Again, this is because of his sister- she was diagnosed with cancer as a kid, and beat it, though she died of melanoma a few years ago. So because he went through that as a kid, he does a lot to help out families who are dealing with that sort of thing. Itās pretty awesome.
I admit it, Iāve made fun of him before, because he does have that whole attitude that kinda grates. But when you put that aside, heās a dude whoās enjoying himself, helping out a lot of people, and talking a lot about food he thinks is delicious. So good for him. Thereās worse things in the world.
I have always and will always love guy. heās such a big goofā¦whatās not to loveā¦
Y'all Guy is wonderful. He got his start on Next Food Network Star and I remember that season very vividly. I saw it as a kid. He just wants people to have fun while they eat. Thatās literally his only goal. There was a challenge where they had to make cupcakes for 5 year olds and everyone made these boring ass cupcakes like āOh theyāre decorated like the 4 seasons see its educationalā and they were criminally dull. The only thing that was changed was the frosting. And Guy comes up and starts making all these crazily shaped sushi cupcakes. Like cutting them into goofy shapes, making them bite sized, modeling them after dragons and stuff, it was so cool and the kids were EXCITED. He gets what makes thing fun on a fundamental, basic level. Heās not a douchebag frat boy. Heās that crazy uncle you were always excited to see at family gatherings.
Go watch Guyās Grocery Games. Its on Hulu. Heās so goofy and fun and heās just as excited for the winners as the winners themselves. The show really makes me happy to watch.
Yāall I joke on Guy Fieri but he geninely is an amazing motherfucker.
Ok thenā¦
OK then...
