Page Productions' message to Fans of Triple D

In light of the recent suit and counter suit between Page Productions and Food Network and the concern that Diners, Drive-ins and Dives might have been canceled, I reached out to David Page, president of Page Productions and creator of the show for his comment on the suits, settlement, and specifically Guy Fieri's role in either. And I asked David if he had a message for the fans of the show.

Here is his response, in his own words:

"Dora - you asked me if there was anything I wanted to say to the readers of your site. There is:"

Thank you all.
Thank you for finding DDD.
And for appreciating it.
We worked very, very hard to make this show something special. Good enough was never good enough. And I'm proud of the work my very talented staff did in crafting this show to be so much more than average in every single way - especially in creating an onscreen image for Guy that presented him as someone viewers would see as knowledgeable and likable.

I've been in the business for 40 plus years. Making this show was a true labor of love and the creative high point of my career. Unfortunately, it's over. As often happens when TV creates an instant celebrity, that celebrity turns into someone else. Guy decided he no longer wanted to be produced or directed, no longer wanted my input or expertise to insure that his presentation and the show itself were as good as they could be and would continue growing and improving.

Guy clearly decided that what he needed was a different production company that would allow him to be in control. To that end, over the last year, he began making it extraordinarily difficult for us to produce DDD by canceling shoots, often at the last minute, failing to return phone calls and emails, refusing to schedule necessary voiceover sessions in a timely fashion to allow episodes to be completed on schedule, and simply being incredibly difficult for me to work with. Then, he went to the network and demanded they kick me off the show or he wouldn't perform. So they did.

Perhaps as Guy matures in his career he will come to realize that even Hemingway had an editor. And that actually listening to notes is something that can make a big difference in one's longevity. Along the way he may also learn it isn't good to get a reputation for plundering a production company's budget or for wanting to be surrounded only by sycophants, and he might even adopt more tolerant social views regarding minorities. Or maybe he won't.

As for those e-mails of mine that got printed in various newspapers? They weren't the reason the network did what Guy demanded - they were an excuse. You see, the network was so pleased with my work that they signed a new contract with me for 3 more seasons (12, 13, and 14) only three months before kicking me off the show. The e-mails came later - after I learned that Guy had been colluding with several disloyal staff members in his efforts to take the show away. Those emails were then sent to those staff members expressing my anger at their treachery. Context matters.

Fact is, people are people. They can disappoint you - sometimes to a remarkable degree. At the beginning, Guy and I were friends - close friends. I believed in him, and worked my butt off to help make him a star. To do that, it is essential to emphasize a performer's good qualities on TV and leave the rest on the floor. Frankly, the longer the show went on, the deeper the pile on the floor became. For Guy's sake, I hope he wakes up - soon - and recaptures his soul, his humanity, and his integrity.

But despite the disappointment of losing DDD (and the fun of producing it, and the income it generated for many employees who have now had to be laid off), it's been a real pleasure knowing that we have been able to entertain our viewers.

So, thank you again. And I look forward to attracting you all to our next project. Stay tuned.
David

David, thank you for your message! And may I express my empathy for you in losing a show, a project, which so obviously meant so much to you.

Readers, Page Productions is currently working on new television projects with tons of potential. Visit them online at pageprod.com.

Also to be announced soon: several of the shirts that Guy Fieri wore on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives will go up for auction. More info on that as we receive it!

Fan questions, August 2011

Some time ago I added a new page to this blog, Have a Question? I receive some 50 questions each month. Here, I share what fans are asking and what answers I could find for them. [Some answers are edited for brevity. ~D]

Dan from Mount Ephraim wrote, "Guy, I toatly love diners, drives and dives. The only thing that I don't get, if I watch 3 hours of your show and watch you eat everything in site, how come you don't weigh about 300 pounds? You are the man."

Our answer: Ah, the magic of television! Fortunately, Guy doesn't eat at three restaurants in 30 minutes. Typically, two restaurants are taped in one day, and they tape 7 restaurants over the course of 4 days. Moreover, Guy's schedule usually has him out for Triple D about once a month. So it really isn't as much food as it appears to be after editing. :)

-------------------------------------------------

Judy asked, "where can i buy your sauce. or can i order please let me know. thank you"

Our answer: Guy's bbq sauces and salsas are available in many grocery stores. They're also available online through FoodNetworkStore.com. And let us know how it works out? Thanks for writing in!

-------------------------------------------------

Denise from Austin, Texas asked, "How did you get started doing Diners, drive ins and Dives?"

Our answer: I think that story is best told by David Page, the creator and original producer of the show. Check out this interview. Enjoy! And let me know if you want to know anything else about the story?

-------------------------------------------------

Thomas asked, "where is Guy's hometown and restaurant?"

Our answer: Guy is originally from Ferndale, CA and now lives in Santa Rosa, CA. His first restaurant, Johnny Garlic's, is also located in Santa Rosa, and it now has three other locations in nearby Windsor, Roseville and Dublin, California. Guy's second restaurant concept is Tex Wasabi's, with locations in Santa Rosa and Sacramento. Visit www.johnnygarlics.com and www.texwasabis.com.

-------------------------------------------------

Jessi of Glasgow, MO wrote, "My Dad was telling me about watching one of your shows and you had a salsa on there that took pineapple. He only caught the tail end of the recipe. I was wanting to surprise him with a "father-daughter" night and make that salsa for him. Would you please e-mail me that recipe? Thank you."

Our answer: I believe the recipe you were looking for is Guy Fieri's Roasted Pineapple and Pepper Salsa. Check it out and let me know if it is the one!

-------------------------------------------------

Gregory from Rochester MI asked, "What kind of dog does he have? And do you have a picture?"

Our answer: At last count, Guy has three dogs: two rottweilers, Medusa and Diesel, and a chihuahua, Rock Star. There's also Pops, the family's turtle. :) Rock Star made a guest appearance on an episode of "Dear Food Network: Thanksgiving" a few years ago! I can't find any pictures right now! But if I come across some, will be sure to forward them along.

-------------------------------------------------

Sean wrote, "Guy and I met while he filmed at the resturant in westport ct. the Black Duck, and I have a question what is the ring he wears that apears to have the letter R on it."

Our answer: Guy wears a ring with the initials RRF, which stand for his oldest son's name, Ryder Ramsay Fieri. When Ryder grows up, he'll get the family heirloom ring. On his other hand, Guy wears a ring with his younger son's initials.

-------------------------------------------------

Mike from Florida asked, "I would like to know how guy does his hair and what is the name of the color"

Our answer: Guy uses several similar shades of platinum. He has someone who touches it up in Chicago, someone in New York and two in California. For the spikes, he uses J Beverly Hills Clear Wax. He was in an airport, and a woman just walked up and gave him some. Guy says, "It's the best stuff in the world."
