I remember a few back there were a couple videos floating around on youtube where he was the brunt of the joke, and it seemed like the internet would rip on him at every opportunity. But I think if people really look into the guy they'll realize he's one of the few celebrities that is deserving of a lot of support.
He helped raise a ton of money for small businesses this year. And he's got a history of helping out restaurant workers and acts of charity. Plus, it sounds like pretty much anyone who's been featured on his show or has worked with him loves him.
I know it sounds like I'm the president of Guy Fieri fanclub right now, but I've read a few things in the last year or so that made me feel like kind of an asshole for judging him. I always just assumed he was douche because of the look and didn't really put much thought into it other than that. Turns out, I was the douche for thinking that way. That dude rocks.
I think the look is just for TV. I love great stories and good people like that. I appreciate the post and I will try the restaurant next time I'm down that way!
