Guy Fieri - on fried Oreos and fried pizza

On Tuesday, January 5, 2010, Guy Fieri made a guest appearance on The Jay Leno Show during Kim Kardashian's Earn Your Plug segment.

Today, I've been inundated with requests for Guy Fieri's recipes for Fried Oreos and Fried Pizza. Readers, there is no recipe, per se, but here's how it all went down on Leno.

Fried Oreos - according to me, as directed by Guy Fieri
Ingredients
Oreos (could be double stuff, could be original)
Milk
Flour
Tempura batter (available in most grocery stores; check the Asian section)
Canola oil, for frying

Directions
Preheat oil to 350 degrees F
1. Dip those Oreos deep in milk. Get them completely covered.
2. Dredge the Oreos in flour, coating both sides.
3. Dip the Oreos in prepared tempura batter
4. CAREFULLY drop the Oreos in oil; fry until golden brown and delicious.
5. Serve with vanilla ice cream and chocolate topping (if you can get the chocolate topping out of the squeeze bottle. haha.)
6. According to KK, enjoy once a year.


Deep Fried Pizza - according to me, as directed by Guy Fieri
Ingredients
Pizza skin (that would be pizza dough to the rest of us; commonly found in the frozen foods section of your grocery store)
Pizza sauce
Mozzarella cheese (or pizza cheese mix, check the deli section of your store)
Pepperoni
Other toppings as desired
Water
Canola oil, for frying

Directions
Preheat oil to 350 degrees F
1. Thaw and stretch out the pizza skin
2. Cut each skin in half
3. Slather pizza sauce on one half of each piece of pizza dough
4. Top with cheese, pepperoni and desired toppings
5. With your finger, apply water around the edges of the pizza dough
6. Fold piece in half, creating a calzone-like pizza pocket; pinch the edges together tightly.
7. CAREFULLY drop pizza in oil and fry 5 to 10 minutes


For a limited time, view Guy Fieri, Jay Leno and Kim Kardashian's segment on www.TheJayLenoShow.com or at Hulu, if that platform works better for you.

A brief aside: From @JeffBryanDavis, Had dinner with Guy Fieri last night at a fancy Japanese restaurant. I wish I had something funny to add to that. Which, in itself, is funny.

Guy Fieri to cook on The Jay Leno Show

Guy Fieri will be on The Jay Leno Show (website) tonight, Tuesday, January 5, 2010. According to Guy's press agent, "Want to know how to deep fry Oreos, pizza or cheesecake? Tonight @ChefGuyFieri will teach Kim Kardashian on Leno!"

I'm sure Guy will get a shout out for his new prime time game show on NBC (the same network as the Jay Leno Show), Perfect 10. (Er, or is that Minute To Win It - tweet) Kim Kardashian is the special guest and the featured segment is with Jillian Michaels.

The last time Guy Fieri was on The Jay Leno Show was for the Ten @ Ten: Guy Fieri, on November 11, 2009. Two of my favorite questions?

Jay: Choose A, B or C. Johnny Garlic's is...
A) The name of one of your restaurants
B) A dish you created
C) The worst name ever for a men's cologne

Guy: I wish it was C, because that would be money. But it's actually A, the name of my restaurant.

...

Jay: Choose A, B or C. number ten. The Awesome Pretzel is...
A) A three-wheel bicycle cart your dad built for you so you could sell pretzels
B) A new show by Cirque du Soleil
C) $200 at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch brothel

Guy: [laughing] I don't even want to know how C was dreamed up. But it was actually A, the name of my pretzel business when I was a kid. The Awesome Pretzel.

Guy Fieri also made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in March 2009, where he demonstrated Pork En Fuego.

In other news:

On New Year's Eve, Santa Rosa's newspaper, the Press Democrat, caught up with Guy Fieri and his family, celebrating Ryder's (Guy's son's) 4th birthday.

When asked about Perfect 10, Guy said that he's "been sitting on this for about two and a half months." He went on to say a very cool set is being built in a 350-seat studio in Los Angeles. Shooting for the show starts mid-January, which doesn't yet have a premiere date.

The article also mentioned that Guy Fieri is preparing to visit the White House and the Obamas to promote cooking with kids.

It has been a long-time goal of Guy's to make a national Cook With Your Kids Day. The first step was for California to recognize the day on a state level. In March of 2008, Governor Schwarzenegger teamed up with Guy Fieri on the steps of The State Capitol in Sacramento, California, for Ag Day.

In May 2009, Guy Fieri teamed up again with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver passing a resolution that the second Saturday in May be proclaimed "Cook With Your Kids Day" in California. Now it's straight to the top. Guy Fieri, best of luck!

Elsewhere:

The organizers of an unprecedented United Way fundraiser in Knoxville, TN, raised 11.8 million dollars. John F. Lansing , president of Knoxville-based Scripps Networks who served as chairman for the 2009 United Way of Greater Knoxville Campaign wrote, "It was a truly historic moment during the opening days of the campaign when all of the local media came together to create the first-ever United Way telethon/radiothon hosted graciously by WNOX's Hallerin Hill and Food Network's Guy Fieri." The telethon aired in Knoxville on September 21, 2009.
