Someone once said "If you want to succeed on television, first you must make the greatest sales pitch of your life; you must convince the nation that you aren't a total idiot. Or failing that, the most entertaining idiot they've seen in a long time"

I'm pretty sure 99% of people who dislike Guy dislike him because of his personality and wardrobe. He comes off looking like a Jersey Shore douche, but he's not. He knows how to cook, and he obviously has a passion for it. I'm not defending him, I'm saying your hate is unwarranted and misplaced.

It's somehow not valid to hate someone for their personality? Especially when his personality consists of being a loud obnoxious twat. And that's just his on-air persona. In private he's still a douche AND a homophobe on top of that.

And the food he makes is like the food an 8-year-old boy would make if he suddenly found himself able to cook.

Guy is like a real-life version of Tom Hanks' character from Big.

I looked at the article's quotes of the review:

>Writer Pete Wells goes on to say (in 34 rhetorical questions) that a drink tastes like "radiator fluid and formaldehyde." He notes that French fries arrive "limp and oil-sogged" and "served cold." He attacks the service, the sides, even the nachos ("deeply unlovable"). His overall rating: "Poor."

Guy Fieri is just a celebrity face on the food network or whatever american channels he's shown on but describing drinks as "like radiator fluid" doesn't tell shit about how bad they actually are, it gives no insight into what the actual problems were with the drinks. Also "deeply unlobeable"? Who fucking writes that shit?

Adam Richman is healthy as an ox. He can do the huge eating challenges because he manages his body properly

Guy Fieri's real name is Guido Ferry. He's a fat douche with no actual skills.

>Im sorry if Guy Fieri is too working class for you bourgouise new yorkers.
He owns a series of restuarants you idiot.
He is, by definition, bourgeois. He exploits the (crappy, incompetent) labor of his workers in order to earn his living.
There's nothing blue collar about that.
