Yes, I know. I came across it in an article about why people like to
read negative restaurant reviews. I thought that with all the off-topic
stuff being discussed, it might spur a discussion of food:-)

He has mastered the technique of shoving huge pieces of food into his mouth.

There are masters of Man Against Food and he's not one of them.

Too bad you didn't post the original article.

Apparently, most rfc regulars would rather discuss Ms Cow.

The menu sounds as bad as the stuff he features on his show.

I liked him way back when he was featured in an actual cooking show.

Why am I supposed to remember the name of a past series when I don't
even know which Giada or Ina series I'm currently watching? You can
google it too.

It's not a particular food It's the Diners Drive Ins and Dives show where
they only seem to feature huge portions of whatever it is. And whatever it
is, is usually either fried or swimming in sauce.

I think the reviewer hasn't bothered to read other Guy Feiri menus.
None of them appeal to me, but I'm obviously not in his target group.

I don't understand people who eat at restaurants sponsored and touted by
television celebrity "chefs". It's just another "celebrity" restaurant
chain geared towards shoving more money into their bank account.

What makes Fieri an expert on anything? Who cares if he has a show on
television? Yep, I think he's an ass. He wears sunglasses backwards on
his head and thinks it looks frosty. A Chef? NIMHO. Restaurant owner?
Easy enough to buy into with enough money but difficult to maintain.

Have you never been in the vicinity and wanted to try one (celebrity
chef's restaurant) just to see what all the hooha was all about?

I thought I did until I saw the menu. Then no. Too much fancy stuff for
me. And very expensive.

The closest I ever came was Kenny Rogers Roasters, a rotisserie chicken
restaurant chain. That must have been back in the early 1990's. But
hey, he was a country-western singer, he didn't pretend to be a chef.
The chain didn't last long.

I've watched Diners, Drive-ins & Dives a few times. The places are
interesting but I can't stand watching him take huge bites out of
whatever. (Seems it's usually piled-high sandwiches.)

I put it down to the man against food syndrome male watchers seem to
love.

I don't know which is worse, whether it is watching him try to cram
something into his mouth with two hands or to watch him try to
manipulate a fork.
