Flash in the Pan (GI0610H) with video

Guy's Big Bite - Flash in the Pan - Aired: 5/10/09

Guy Fieri's steaming a pot of his Monsoon Mussels, swimming in a spicy Asian white wine-curry broth. Sop up that delectable broth with grilled ciabatta slices or Guy's Asian Street Fries, equally delicious dunked in spicy soy-vinegar sauce. Creamy Flaming Panna Cotta with flambéed cherry sauce makes a dramatic finale.

Guy Fieri on campground cooking


Sunset Magazine did a nice article on some of Guy Fieri's campground cooking tips and recipes. The magazine shot these pictures in September of 2008 at Bodega Bay, and Guy Fieri fan T.A. Gowdy was on hand to snap a couple pictures.



Camp cooking tips from Guy
* If you organize everything before you go, you’ll eat better and faster (important when you’ve been hiking).

* Cross-utilize your groceries by building leftovers into your meal plans. For instance, save bacon fat from breakfast to fry potatoes for dinner. Make sure you keep the fat, and all your food, away from animals.

* Invest in a camp Dutch oven. You can use it for everything from frying an egg to boiling water and, best of all, it has little legs so you can set the pot right over coals ― no flat surface needed.

* Keep things at least semiclean with antibacterial wipes, hand sanitizer, or a spray bottle of bleach solution (1 tbsp. bleach in 1 qt. water).

I mentioned two weeks ago that Martie Knows Parties caught up with Guy and his Posse at the Metropolitan Cooking show in Atlanta. She got to tag along when Guy Fieri and his DDD crew hit Chicago for a taping of the show in late April. Check it out; she snapped some fine pictures.

And while in Chicago, the NBC5 Street team caught up with Guy at a Triple-D location. Click here to see a brief video interview with Guy Fieri.

Guy Fieri article in AutoWeek

I posted a few weeks ago that AutoWeek Magazine visited Guy in Northern California for an interview on his love of cars.

The May 4, 2009 edition of AutoWeek magazine is out, with a three-page spread on Guy Fieri, his collection of cars and a few tidbits about his life at home in Santa Rosa. Here are a few excerpts:
He still lives in the same 1,700-square-foot ranch he bought in 1997. He is adding a nearly 1,000-square-foot kitchen with all the hardware. And that doesn’t include the outdoor kitchen.

It’s a good thing the property had more than an acre when he bought it. That allowed for a recently completed nine-car garage, at the center of which is Fieri’s office, also with a garage door.

“I only have a couple of vices,” Fieri says. “I don’t smoke. I don’t do drugs. I do like cars.”

One friend is neighbor Bill DenBeste, who convinced Fieri that it was OK to get the lone Ford in his collection. It’s a continuation Cobra that DenBeste, a collector and racer, helped Fieri get after he introduced Fieri to childhood hero Carroll Shelby.

Guy Fieri impostor interviewed on live tv

The big Guy Fieri story of the day is about a Guy Fieri impersonator at a Kansas City Royals game, interviewed as Guy Fieri on live T.V., Sunday May 4, 2009. Earlier today, Guy sent out a Twitter affirming that it was NOT he at that baseball game.

So check this out, some cat is playin me in KC. Crazy, just for da record, I am home and was not in KC. Thanks to those keepin an eye out. ~ChefGuyFieri



From KansasCity.com - "The imposter gave interviewer Joel Goldberg’s questions short, rude, one-word answers. He was acting like he wanted no part of the interview. He took a phone call during the interview."

Does the impostor look like Guy? Oh, I suppose yes, at least he would to someone who has only seen him a few times before. But anyone who's seen Guy in action knows he hams it up for the camera. Whoever this impersonator is needs to work on his act, eh?

[Thank you Anonymous 7:10!! ~D]

Last few comments about the Derby night

Kentucky Derby attendee and Star watcher Kim Meek caught Guy Fieri, his wife Lori and Kevin "Kleetus" Cox at Churchill Downs.


The Courier Journal reported that Guy Fieri called up Amici Café at 7:30 p.m. on Derby night and asked if he could use the kitchen at around 9 p.m. to cook for 30 to 35 people in his party.

Owner Sharon Risinger said he showed up, "walked in the restaurant and came into the kitchen. I was getting ready to run food out and about dropped the plates."

That party also included Joey Fatone (video here), who was whipping up drinks and assisting on the grill and others. The group feasted on veal and chicken, pan seared scallops, tiger shrimp and more and kept the party going until 3:30 a.m.

"It was wild," Risinger said.

Before the races, Guy Fieri said "you can't beat a hot brown."

His trip to Louisville made him want to come back for his television show. "When you find a town with a lot of culture," he said, "diners usually follow."

The night before the races, he ate at Vincenzo's. (not a diner)

"We had some pasta," Fieri said. "We had some Caesar salad."

He said he was going to bet on horses No. 3 and No. 12 -- Mr. Hot Stuff and General Quarters -- after his children's ages.

Too bad he didn't bet on Mine That Bird, eh? at 50:1 -- Yowsers!
