know a few people that have worked with him recently.

Said he’s a complete a-hole.
this would be a different take most seem to have about him

Hes usually considered to be one of the nicest people in television. He either has a great publicist or they caught him in a shite time

There’s a dude from my area that resembles Fieri who faked out a local website a couple years ago.

the polarizing Food Network personality was spotted at a Pewaukee pizza place called Doc’s Dry Dock. According to a reader who dined there last night, the Ambassador of Flavortown stopped by the lakefront restaurant shortly after 7 p.m. Apparently, he came in with friends and wasn’t filming anything. We’re told that after finishing his meal, paying the bill, and having a cordial exchange with staff, Fieri left as quietly and unexpectedly as he arrived.

Seriously, the guy has one of the biggest hearts in the industry. He takes being the butt of jokes in stride.


He's also highly respected by most of the top tier chefs, especially top chef winners and contestants. I think that shows how awesome of a guy he is

Possibly. One of them Guy came to his restaurant twice. Once for DDD and once for Best Thing I Ever Ate.

Each time said he was great on camera but a prick off camera. However, he did provide great exposure for his place, twice.

Not that it would really matter in the long run. Still a fan of all of his shows.

Thanks to Diners Done ins and Drives, I've found a few good food spots that I love to frequent now.

He makes me want to try out random food spots that I otherwise would never stop at

My parents met him. Said he was super nice. Goes along with what everyone else in this thread has said.

If all Food Network ran was DDD instead of stupid arse reality cook-offs (I know Grocery Games) I’d watch all the time.

Side note: We’ve hit a few of those spots on tour and all legit.


I spent the better part of 14 years on the road and hit up a bunch of them. The guy single-handedly exploded business for over 800 local restaurants around the country. Supports his own hometown with GGG. Nothing but respect for the guy.

He’s a good dude. His show takes us to places we may drive and say, I wonder how good that place is? Anyone that watches his show TD has definitely tried one or more joints.

He’s corny AF but brings light to hard working men and women and their businesses. That is a show I can and do support.

I wonder what the purseless women think about him.

“Owing to severe drug and alcohol addiction, Zimmern was homeless for about one year.[13] During this period, he survived by stealing purses from cafes and selling the contents.”

Can’t tell you how many hours Triple D has played on my tv. If we’re not watching it, there’s a good chance it’s background noise.

Dude is a super douche... but whatever.

I somehow ended up eating at his restaurant in Cancun airport..... and it was such a sad place. Reminded me
If being in North Korea. It was like a shrine to his douchiness

The question just popped in my head, is Guy an actual Chef or is he a Hype-man for food?



Like far too many on TV Food Shows today, just another POSER.


There are many nationally and locally that put on a chef jacket and they get instant food cred. It’s fricking nonsense. That’s what it is.
