celebrity chef and mayor of flavor town
guy fieri
is what some might describe as an
acquired taste
while vocal fans have tried to honor him
by petitioning to rename fieri's native
columbus ohio as flavortown
other people have loudly voiced how much
they can't stand the guy
look i get it i don't want to hang out
with guy fieri either okay
a former diners drive-ins and dice
producer painted him in a very unsavory
light
as part of a lawsuit that jeopardized
the show according to grubb street
and one of the parts that wasn't unknown
about the late anthony bourdain
was his disdain for the polarizing food
personality
even fagetti's wife lori wasn't exactly
his biggest fan when they first met
as the food network host explained to
delish lori's friend had been fired from
a restaurant he managed in long beach
california
he said i was talking to her friend and
saying hey listen
wait a few weeks before you come in and
standing behind her
is this blue eyed blonde girl giving me
this mean mug
lori didn't live in long beach and
didn't intend to
she had planned to move from rhode
island to san diego when she gave guy
a piece of her mind and apparently he
fell for her right away
he recalled i knew as soon as i saw her
i just
knew fieri diffused the situation at his
restaurant and sat with the women to
talk
he also talked laurie into letting him
cook for her
according to biography they got married
in 1995 and they have two
sons as the first lady of flavor town
lori has helped him serve his
constituents
when he decided to commandeer a cruise
ship kitchen and cook for the passengers
she helped him serve 700 burgers
she has apparently supported just about
all of his hair brained ideas
though maybe not the hair surrounding
his brain she told people magazine
when i first met him he had no goatee he
had dark hair
he wore a suit to work every day his
last name wasn't even fietti it was
fairy though she sometimes wishes his
now famous frosted tips would melt away
his hair is just the tip of the iceberg
for laurie who described her husband
as a fantastic guy who makes her laugh
which just might be
the sweetest thing in all of flavor town
fieri might not remember the meal that
he cooked for lori on their first date
but in 2018 he told today
my linguine clams is probably one of her
all-time favorites
especially when the clams are really
small and when we sit down together to
have a really nice dinner
normally lori also asks him to make
mexican or chinese dishes when he cooks
but these gestures of edible affection
aren't one-sided fieti explained there's
an old school
recipe laurie makes that she brought
home from where she grew up in rhode
island
it's one of the first things she ever
cooked for me and it's still a favorite
of mine
lori dubs her dish noodles and beef but
don't let that flavorless name fool you
fieri went on to say she saute's top
sirloin with onions mushrooms and garlic
and she makes this fantastic gravy and
serves it over egg noodles
it can't be easy being married to the
mayor of flavor town though not for the
reason some people might think
cradle it
you want me to cradle these buns cradle
the buns while fieri's flamboyant
persona can be tough to swallow
when delicious candice braun davison
interviewed him she found fieri to be
quote quiet
almost pensive at one point at every
point he seemed like a devoted husband
and father
fieri said my whole world revolves
around my family
in 2018 fieri operated 63 restaurants
and he's the face of both diners
drive-ins and dives and
guys grocery games his hectic schedule
has frequently kept him on the road and
away from home
but flexibility has allowed lori and her
spiky-haired husband to fit comfortably
in each other's worlds with the limited
time they have
as fiery explained it's all compromise
and understanding
and it probably doesn't hurt that they
love each other's cooking
