would you eat a pancake after guy fieri
stuck his face in it if not you'd better
hope he doesn't drop by your favorite
restaurant while you're there keep
watching to see some of fieri's most
awkward moments on his show
guy fieri has essentially created his
own signature lingo throughout his time
on diners drive-ins and dives while most
of the phrases are endearing there is
one that he needs to retire referring to
things as quote gangster fieri has been
calling everything from menu items to
cooking techniques gangster forever and
it's just overplayed not to mention
potentially offensive depending on
context usually those in earshot give
him a pity laugh if they acknowledge it
at all simply put it's time for him to
create some catchphrases preferably
those that are more descriptive of the
individual food item he's tasting in the
scene if everything from a cheese
smothered burger to bacon-wrapped
meatloaf is gangster it's hard to really
tell the exact sentiment he's trying to
convey
guy fieri doesn't just like to eat the
meals he features on diners drive-ins
and dives also known as triple d he also
wants to learn the ins and outs of how
those dishes all come together but
sometimes he can get a little too
hands-on with his research take the
episode where he visits hillbilly hot
dogs in west virginia and learns how to
make their signature chili for example
in this episode you will eventually be
confronted with the unsettling image of
him mixing chili with his hands
thankfully he's wearing a plastic glove
but it's just a lot to handle guys goofy
commentary doesn't exactly make the
situation easier to watch by any means
in fact it makes it even more
uncomfortable while the restaurant's hot
dogs do indeed look fantastic this
cringy mixing moment doesn't exactly
help build up your appetite for the
chili
it's safe to say that guy fieri isn't
the most elegant eater by any means
sometimes the way the camera zooms in on
guys stuffing his face gets to be a bit
too much to comfortably watch for
example in one episode fieri heads to
hawaii to discover some of the most
underrated eats on the islands being
that the show features many trendy food
items it's no surprise that he finds a
spot specializing in sushi burritos we
proceed to get an up-close and personal
look at fieri eating half of the burrito
in one massive chomp sure it looked
pretty good before but awkwardly
watching him chew on bits of ahi tuna
and seaweed doesn't exactly make you
want to jump off the couch and order
some takeout sushi
clearly guy fieri knows what he's doing
in the kitchen he's a successful
restaurateur and a businessman but also
a chef who arguably knows how to make a
pretty great meal however sometimes he
puts on his chef's hat when it's
uncalled for like when another food
master is trying to show him their
recipe one example would be when fieri
visited an austin texas restaurant to
sample a truly delectable looking
chicken fried steak chef and owner tom
davis is explaining his technique for
battering the dish when guy says i come
to the school if you put the flour on it
first it helps the egg wash stick to the
flour everybody says that he may have
seemed unflustered but given that davis
was simply trying to show off his
cooking with cameras in his kitchen he
probably doesn't care to hear what he's
doing wrong when getting his big moment
on food network
when watching a food network show like
diners drive-ins and dives it can be
easy to forget that the camera crew is
getting all of the show's footage from
the middle of a real-life working
kitchen so it's funny and occasionally a
little awkward when the viewers get a
glimpse at what the kitchen is like when
fieri isn't there for example consider
the time fiety visited the butcher shop
in west palm beach florida to try their
mouth-watering brisket melt in the
episode an employee comes up to the
window and begins placing an order once
he sees fiery his son and the camera
crew staring back from the kitchen he
hurriedly says never mind and walks away
his stumbling switch from reciting a
rapid fire order to slowly backing away
shows that this is not by any means a
normal day in the kitchen
it's pretty easy to see the excitement
fieri radiates when he's learning a
special recipe from a chef on triple d
he clearly loves to watch their
signature techniques however sometimes
he gets carried away and starts to act
as a backseat driver to the chef this is
seen when fieri visits the kansas city
taco company to try a cowboy junkie
burrito the chef shows his way of
preparing the dish which starts with
smoking some pork fieri feels the need
to comment on the quote makeshift smoker
and the lack of seasoning on the pork
all while the chef is just trying to
show him how it's done cooking in front
of a full camera crew has surely got to
be an entirely new and somewhat
nerve-wracking experience for many chefs
already and yet fieri adds to the
pressure by making these comments that
may unintentionally throw them off their
game
die hard fans of diners drive-ins and
dives would probably love it if they
were eating at their favorite local
restaurant and fieri stopped by in his
red camaro to give the place a shout out
they could rather easily get their 15
seconds of fame by hyping up their
favorite menu items and diving into a
signature dish on camera however
sometimes it's clear that fiery is
bothering diners who want to be left
alone to eat without a camera shoved in
their faces take his visit to crazy
gym's blimpy burger near the university
of michigan in ann arbor for example
first it's pretty hectic already as the
busy restaurant is packed with people
yelling their orders you even see one
person with a mouthful of food forced to
answer fieri's questions on whether or
not they love the place
sure guy fieri isn't exactly the epitome
of etiquette but he doesn't try to hold
himself forth as the graduate of a
finishing school either regardless we
simply must draw the line when he talks
with a full mouth guy has a penchant for
speaking whenever the mood strikes him
even when his mouth is stuffed with food
and he's got sauce all over his face to
be fair we get the spectacle to a
certain extent it can't be easy to host
a show where you're expected to eat food
on camera and describe it there's an art
form to the whole setup that can be hard
even for seasoned professionals like
fieti to get right but for some reason
whether it's fieri's massive bites or
his method of heartily chowing down it's
off-putting to watch him speak with a
full mouth over and over again
similar to correcting a chef's recipe on
camera fieri also is known for openly
questioning a chef's techniques in the
kitchen frankly that's pretty
unwarranted as there's no single right
way to do anything in those moments it's
just hard to watch for example when
fieri visits richmond virginia to try
some onion rings from the historic local
favorite village cafe he seemingly can't
help but question the chef's credibility
at one point fieri asks the featured
chef where he learned the techniques and
recipe for his standard menu items the
chef responds laconically where did you
learn these techniques spin the bowl
worked it
where'd you learn that comes
we've already established that fiery
isn't exactly known for his table
manners when trying out dishes on diners
drive-ins and dives but sometimes he
takes playing with your food to a whole
new level that's just unpleasant to
watch when fieri visits charlie parker's
diner in springfield illinois to check
out their breakfast offerings he's in
awe at the massive pancakes that workers
are flipping on the grill every day in
one scene he picks up a diner's massive
pancake and he sticks his face in the
opening it's not clear if the diner was
done digging in and that fieri just
wanted to have some fun with the
leftovers but if that wasn't the case
fieri's antics are probably not
something that makes you want to keep
eating
throughout the years fieri has featured
his family particularly his son hunter
more and more frequently on diners
drive-ins and dives during the covet 19
pandemic triple d did something of a
revamp by having small town chefs guide
fieri in how to make their famous dishes
at home his son hunter was a staple on
the show so fieri didn't hold back from
pulling out all of his best dad jokes
now considering his brand of humor it's
not a total shocker to hear a series of
cheesy jokes coming out of fiery's mouth
but it's still a little awkward
especially if you've already had your
fill of dad jokes from say an actual dad
in your life when recreating caramel
apple pie funnel cakes from seven bites
bake shop fieri clearly doesn't hold
back from embarrassing his son in front
of other chefs at one point fieri
couldn't resist the urge to act as if he
was going to high-five hunter with a
handful of batter and get the batter all
over him in typical dad fashion perhaps
hunter himself was fine with it but for
many audience members it was yet another
awkward fiati moment that is reminiscent
of their own interactions with cheesy
dad jokes check out one of our newest
