Fan questions, Mid-May, 2011
Recently I added a new page to this blog, Have a Question? At the end of each month (and sometimes part-way thru!), I'll share what fans are asking and what answers I could find for them. [Some answers are edited for brevity. ~D]
Tracie from Jacksonville asked, "do you ever go to places to eat that you do not enjoy and do not want to rerepresent on the show?" And Marissa of Houston asked, "Has Guy ever been taping and tasted something that he really didn't like and ate it anyway?"
Our answer: Yes, it's happened. And those segments just never make it on to the show. But the researchers do a great job, and those places have been extremely rare, four or five, tops. Over the course of the show, there have been times when the food wasn't quite good, and the visits were scrapped. DDD won't ridicule someone on air, because exposure affects business.
----------------------------------------
Marilynn of Seattle asked, "What is Guy's tattoo of on his forearm? I'm an inked chef too and was curious. Is it new?"
Our answer: Yes, it's new; inked in February, 2011. It is a memorial piece to his sister, Morgan, loosely based on Botticelli's Birth of Venus. Guys tattoo artist, Joe Leonard, recreated it for the dedication page of Guy's new cookbook, "Guy Fieri Food."
----------------------------------------
Kristy from Hinsdale asked, "Monday- May 2- Guy made a cocktail containing cilantro, pineapple juice and tequila. He poured the mixture into a glass containing a chile pepper. I am looking for that recipe...is it available? Thank you!!"
Our answer: That was from the Guy's Lean Green Chili Machine episode of Guy's Big Bite. The recipe was called the Poblano Pineapple Picante, and here's the recipe:
Ingredients
1 Poblano chile
2 sprigs fresh cilantro
2 ounces tequila blanco
2 ounces pineapple juice
3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
3/4 ounce agave nectar
Directions
Cut about an inch off the top and bottom of the Poblano and remove the seeds, leaving body intact. Place the chiles in the freezer for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
In a mixing glass, muddle the cilantro, add the rest of the ingredients, add ice and shake 12 to 14 times. Place the frozen poblano in a pint glass and pour the drink over it. (Alternatively, this cocktail can be served in a martini glass.)
----------------------------------------
"This past summer you were in Cape May havn't seen it on your show. Something to do with Hot Dogs...My brother did the art work on the truck and I wanted to see it. He saw it on TV...not sure which show...he is currently battling cancer and I would really like to see your show with his art work on that hot dog vendor truck. BTW..my brother is jealous of your car...LOL"
Our answer: That may have been from Maui's Dog House in Wildwood? Check out this video, and let us know if that was the one! www.mauisdoghouse.com
----------------------------------------
Beth from Mansfield asked, "What was the name and place of the restaurant with whole fried chicken and wings with hot sauce?"
Our answer: I believe that was Uncle Lou's Fried Chicken in Memphis Tennessee, featured on Where the Locals Eat episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Watch this video on Youtube and let us know if that was the episode you saw!
----------------------------------------
Emily from Dallas wrote, "Thanks to Guy and his promotion of National Cook with Kids Day, my daughter (4 years old) and I have planned out a meal we will be preparing today. We have been talking about it for weeks! We started with a trip to Whole Foods Market where we planned out a balanced meal (complete with apple pie!) .... We even have ... a photographer who has agreed to document our time together.
"I am a working mom and blogger, and plan to post photos on my blog in promotion of Cook with Kids Day. My hope is to inspire other families to take advantage of this wonderful idea. ...Sincere thanks to Guy Fieri!"
Our reply: What a great story! Do please keep in touch about your blog post so we can share it too?

Eileen from San Francisco wrote, "We are looking to buy an outdoor grill in the $1500 price range. What grill would Guy recommend buying? There is just so much out there to choose from and after watching his shows religiously, I thought, 'Guy's gotta know!'"
Our answer: Guy loves grills so much, he collects them. :) His top recommendation is the Vidalia Grill, and the Vidalia Grill Model 440 is just about in your price range. Best of luck!

TheOtherPaper.com wrote a very nice interview and article about the upcoming Guy Fieri Food Road Show in Ohio.
"Man, it's crazy," he said via telephone from Cherokee, N.C., one of the tour stops. "We'll jam some tunes, make some cocktails, cook some food and tell some stories. It's a lot like my kitchen at home."

As for the on-going litigation between Diners, Drive-ins and Dives production company, Page Productions, and The Food Network, Irika Slavin, Vice President Communications & Public Relations, wrote to us: "Food Network will not comment on the specifics of any active litigation.

The winner of Season Two of The Next Food Network Star is a powerhouse, a celebrity whose “krew” calls him ‘The Guid” (as in "guido"). The host of Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and NBC’s Minute to Win It has five restaurants, two New York Times bestsellers, estimated book sales of an estimated $1.5 million, lines of apparel and products, a hectic schedule of lucrative public appearances, bodyguards who flank him at public appearances, and a hairstyle as distinctive in its own way as Donald Trump's.

Guy Fieri Food, the Road Show, kicked off in SC
The Guy Fieri Food Road Show kicked off last night at the N. Charleston Performing Arts, N. Charleston, SC, with the usual suspects: Guy Fieri, his krew, and a 6-foot-tall margarita machine. And reviews are positive.
@JonesWorksInc tweeted, "Backstage @ Guy Fieri Food-The Road Show! Charleston, SC loves them some @GuyFieri!!" http://yfrog.com/h29qvbmj
Flair bartender Hayden “Woody” Wood opened the show that lasted some 2 1/2 hours.
Guy Fieri made Sangria Shrimp, but the show is much more than just about cooking. Postandcourier.com wrote
Guy told his "how not to deep fry a turkey" story, and audience members played "Face the Cookie" from Minute to Win It.
As he has in the past, Guy invited local ProStart students to prep and cook for the show. Senior and captain Jillian Reilly said, “He’s funny and crazy.”
And Guy continued his "Cooking with Kids" message, saying, "We believed that processed food, faster food, convenience foods were going to take care of us, as long as we got the caloric intake, as long as we gained the energy source. Well, fine. We found out that’s not working. We have childhood diabetes, childhood obesity going on. Kids haven’t changed, the food’s changed. We have to get real food."
Visit North Charleston Coliseum on Facebook for more pictures.
Note: the Guy Fieri Road Shows at the Ovens Auditorium in Charlotte, NC, May 18, and at the Horseshoe Casino in Robinsonville, MS, June 3, 2011, have been canceled. Visit ticketmaster.com for more.

Striding back and forth across the stage, the television super-star chef told funny stories, bantered with his crew, hurled T-shirts into the waving arms before him, and pumped the crowd into repeated frenzies. A loud, thumping music mix that bounced from “Sweet Home Alabama” to “That’s the Way I Like It” and many points in between set the tone for what Fieri called a “Foodapalooza.”

Tex Wasabi's Santa Rosa re-opens
Tex Wasabi's, co-owned by Guy Fieri and Steve Gruber, reopened for lunch yesterday after a 20-month closure. The building has been extensively renovated, redecorated and the menu has been revamped. The restaurant is open for full business today, Tuesday May 17, 2011.

The restaurant has more seating, large front windows and employs some 100 people. Brett Hutchison, chief operating officer, said that Guy Fieri will attend Tex Wasabi's grand reopening mid- to late-June.
In September 2009, a sewer pipe ruptured, causing severe water damage. "When you start pulling things away, we found out how bad it was, and we wanted to do this the right way," Hutchison said.
The Santa Rosa Press Democrat visted with Michael Osterman, food and beverage director for Fieri’s two restaurant chains, Johnny Garlic’s and Tex Wasabi’s and Nicole Massey, training and catering director for Johnny Garlic’s and Tex Wasabi’s, who was part of the restaurant’s original crew.

Employees have been training for a full week, preparing for the first day's service. Tex, on behalf of Fans of Guy Fieri, we wish you the best of luck!
