Guy Fieri: on college students, GM cars and hockey!

Colleges.com U Magazine interviewed Guy Fieri recently for a cover story. Guy shares his life's journey, and offers advice for students.

Click here to read; Guy's interview begins on page 18. A few of Guy's quotes from the article:

"I was never pushed to do anything, encouraged to do everything."

"Anything is SO possible in today's day and age. I see success story after success story. Things aren't just going to fall into your lap. You've got to go out there and get it."

"Look to people you admire or that intrest you. Look to your teachers, your community and businesses. Find people you want to be like and ask them to help you. Say to them, 'Mentor me. Give me a shot. Help me out. Send me a direction.'"

"The Faces of GM" recently ran a story on Guy Fieri, The Chef and his Chevy's, catching up with him at the Woodward Dream Cruise in metro-Detroit this past August.

They wrote, "It’s clear that Guy is passionate about two things – cooking and cars. In fact, he’s seen with his 1967 red Camaro in just about every episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on the Food Network. He had the red Camaro with him, along with a yellow 2011 Camaro SS, at the 555 Triangle in Birmingham this August – and even has eight more GM cars at home!"

GM also asked Guy how he developed this passion for the bowtie brand, and he said, "Chevy’s always led the way. The way it looks, the way it all ties together. Chevy’s always just been the coolest."

"Guy's Burger Joint" on Carnival cruise ships

On Monday, October 3, 2011, the internet was a-buzz with an announcement from Carnival Cruise Lines - their partnership with Guy Fieri to offer a free shipboard dining venue called Guy's Burger Joint, featuring amazing hand-crafted burgers and fresh-cut fries and special recipes created exclusively for Carnival.

@GuyFieri tweeted, "It's official...just launched Guy's Burger Joint on Carnival Cruise Lines!"

A prnewswire.com release states that Guy's Burger Joint "will debut aboard the Carnival Liberty following the completion of a refurbishment later this month and will be rolled out to several other Carnival 'Fun Ships' over the next few years as part of the line's Fun Ship 2.0 fleetwide enhancement program."

At a New York City press conference about the partnership, Doug Parker, @CruiseRadio tweeted, "Guy Fieri cooking up for us at #FunShip2dot0 event. #cruise."

A variety of innovative condiments, everything from chipotle mayonnaise and a special barbecue sauce to garlic aioli and three hot sauces, will be available at two self-serve condiment stations. For guests who like a little more spice, seasonings like garlic and herb, sea salt and hot chili also will be offered, along with a selection of toppings such as sauteed mushrooms, grilled onions, blue cheese crumbles and vine-ripened tomatoes.



Located adjacent to the ship's main pool area, the decor of Guy's Burger Joint is imbued with the chef's passion for car culture and his California roots. Life-size surfboards and car elements such as car bumpers, grilles and chrome pipes adorn the walls, while car hoods hang on the ceiling over the two condiment stations. Servers will wear old school mechanic uniforms with their own personalized nickname featured.

Carnival is also partnering with comedian George Lopez to launch new shipboard comedy clubs. @LibbyTaggart tweeted, "Guy Fieri cooking up some incredible burgers @carnivalcruise press conference. George Lopez also spotted. (client)"

Lopez, one of America's favorite comedians and a popular TV personality, will become the cruise line's "curator of comedy," acting as a consultant on the vetting and hiring of comedic talent for the line's existing fleetwide comedy clubs. Lopez will play an active role in the securing of top up-and-coming comedic talent, utilizing his vast resources within the North American comedy scene. Read more about Carnival and George Lopez.

In the first phase of Carnival Cruise Lines' "Fun Ship 2.0," which extends through 2015, Carnival will invest more than $500 million across its fleet with new dining choices, more exciting bars and lounges and entertainment options.

Other partnerships are with video game giant EA SPORTS to create the first EA SPORTS Bar at sea, and Hasbro for new game shows featuring iconic games and brands.



"If in a million years you would have told me that I was going to be involved with a cruise line and doing burgers, I would have told you I would have gone to the moon first," Fieri told reporters at the Carnival-organized event.

Cooking with Kids and a Day at the Races

Guy Fieri was in New York recently and sat down with The FN Dish to talk about the Guy Fieri Cooking With Kids Foundation. FN Dish: You started your Cooking With Kids Foundation about a year and a half ago. Tell me more about it.

GF: So we’ve done a couple different things. First, we had about 20 kids come into one of my restaurants and had them cook. However, back in January, we brought 100 junior-high students together, mentored them, and while they were cooking we shot it for Food Network webisodes. In my career, I love Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, I love Guy’s Big Bite — I love all the shows that I’ve shot, but this has been the high point of my career. It brought tears to my eyes.

We approached the California State Legislature with a bill that would declare every second Saturday in May “Cook With Kids Day.” It passed and I was just elated. It meant that everyone — chefs, restaurateurs, schools, businesses — would have to focus on kids for one day. We took it one step further with our legislative friends and now Cooking With Kids Day takes place every week on Sundays.

The Guy Fieri Foundation's Pretzel Cart Project

One of our most frequently asked questions about Guy Fieri is how he got his start in the FoodTV biz. The unlikely answer is ... pretzels. In this video, Susan Noyes of Make It Better talks with Guy about the Guy Fieri Foundation's Pretzel Cart Project.

"My dad says, 'Let's make you a pretzel cart,'" Guy recalls. "So for six months after school, I go to this woodworking shop (a guy named Tim Ford had it), and we would build this pretzel cart.... And I really attribute a tremendous amount of how I got to where I am from having the pretzel cart."


*Link to video*

The Guy Fieri Foundation is about inspiration, imagination, empowering kids. The Foundation builds the carts ($10,000 each!) completely within Health Department specifications. And kids can work together with their non-profit mentors to sell the pretzels.

Since January 2011, when the Worth Our Weight episode aired on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, we've received several requests for a Guy Fieri Pretzel Cart. Here are some guidelines:

1. It has to be a kids' organization,
2. It has to be non-profit,
3. The organization has to be able to show they have the ability to put the pretzel cart program into play.
4. This program is not for adults working together to raise money for kids; this is about the kids doing it.

Susan Noyes got to know Guy during a 4 day wedding party in Mexico. "He cooked the wedding feast, and I helped with the shopping," she wrote. "And while you might not think we have much in common, we have the same drive to give back and help others achieve their potential."

Click here to read her article, written in January 2011, in which she and Guy talk about the Guy Fieri Foundation for Inspiration and Imagination.

“It sounds whimsical,” Fieri acknowledges, “but I couldn’t improve on the name. That’s what it’s about—inspiring kids to live their imagination. You don’t have to be stuck.”

As part of this empowerment, Fieri developed a 21st century version of his original pretzel cart, and an accompanying program to teach entrepreneurial and other skills to youth. He donated the first one to the grade school he attended.

Guy Fieri is well-known for his philanthropic works, particularly for children. "He auctions off items for charities, like customized KitchenAid mixers and sunglasses," Susan writes, "and is excited to hand out a huge check to a children’s hospital at the Kentucky Derby."

Brad Bradley of Eatnlisten.com had the opportunity to interview Guy Fieri at the 2011 Home Housewares Show in Chicago, IL, March 2011.

"We chatted about why he chose Ergo Chef for his line of knives, Guy's favorite type of knife to use," Brad writes, "and how he came up with the 'manly' names for his knives."

"I don't want my name just put on something," Guy Fieri said in the video interview. "I want something that really has my style, my attitude, the equipment level, the quality level." And Ergo Chef delivered.


*Link to video*

You can follow Brad on Eatnlisten.com, on Twitter @EATnLISTEN, or on Facebook.

In addition to producing Guy's knives, Ergo Chef has a complete line of cutlery and accessories. @ErgoChefKnives recently tweeted, "10% off any order at the Ergo Chef Store! Special offer supports @ChefGuyFieri alma matter UNLV."

And in Ergo Chef's Chop Talk Blog, Christina Pirello, from the PBS show “Christina Cooks,” is guest writing a series of posts. Visit ErgoChef.com, or find them on Facebook.

*Update* The Ergo Chef road show comes to the Carlsbad Costco, California, on March 24-27 to introduce Fieri’s “Knuckle Sandwich” line of knives.

Also, Guy Fieri's BBQ Sampler Set of BBQ sauces, marinades and wok sauce is now available to order online at Cooking.com, with regional flavors from coast to coast.


Guy's BBQ Sampler Set includes:
Carolina #6 BBQ Sauce: Carolina #6 BBQ Sauce and Marinade is the perfectly tangy and versatile "mop and slop" sauce. Apple cider vinegar, sweet brown sugar and a little bit of cayenne pepper heart is a rockin' combination to be slopped right on pulled pork or used as a marinade or baste for any grilled meat.
Kansas City BBQ Sauce: Kansas City BBQ Sauce is your traditional go-to sauce that you'll dig on just about everything. Sweet, smokey molasses, a hint of apple cider vinegar and a little black pepper heat will rock everything from beef brisket to chicken wings or anything else you can throw on a grill.
Pacific Rim BBQ Sauce: Pacific Rim Wok and Sauce is great on its own or as an off-the-hook wok sauce. Sweet ginger, some chile heat, nutty sesame and soy sauce are a rockin' combination for stir fry, pork ribs, salmon or shrimp.
Bourbon Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce: Bourbon Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce rocks on just about anything. Smoky bourbon, sweet brown sugar and a hint of spicy black pepper create off-the-hook flavor that's a perfect compliment to everything from beef to chicken, pork and seafood.

On "Minute to Win It" last week, Los Angeles Lakers teammates Derek Fisher and Shannon Brown played for their charities. Here's a video interview with Guy Fieri on his thoughts about professional athletes playing in the 60-second circle.



Fans of Guy Fieri had a huge spike of visitors during the LA Lakers in the Circle episode of Minute to Win It, thousands of people searching for "How tall is Guy Fieri," surprised that Guy didn't look much shorter than the two players from the LA Lakers. Derek Fisher is listed on Wikipedia at 6 ft 1 in, and Shannon Brown at 6 ft 4 in. Guy Fieri is 5 ft 10 in, maaaybee pushing 5'11" in dress boot heels.

From what I can see in this picture, they line up just about right. :)
