Five reasons why Guy Fieri should drive to Douchebagistan and never come back

Hate Guy "Ferry". Love this article!

Poor journalism whether u love him or hate him!

Y'ALL BE  SIPPIN DAT HATERADE. You must have a pretty sad, pathetic life to sit down and write something like this.

"a flame decorated windsock fueled by mouth gas"!!!!!

This goes a little far, but I have to agree. He needs a makeover!!!

Wow. I dyed my hair blonde, wore funny sunglasses and went to Burning Man. Do you hate me too?

That guy sure is a tool.

hahaha

the writer is the douche here.

You cry baby's need to hop on the crazy train to flavor town.

Westword this was done in BAD taste! If your don't have something nice to day SHUT UP!

LMAO Douche a Loompa. Classic.

I like all that greasy, fat, high calorie food he shows. I like doing the hunch on a giant artery clogging burger that weighs 3lbs. I don't count calories and carbs unless I'm going for 10,000 is a single sitting. He's a cartoon character that shows what chefs call junk food all over the States. I'd rather eat the food he shows than some pretty, colorful crap that some culinary chef spread his artistic sauce on a plate using some ingredients I can't buy at King Soopers. I'd rather eat at a restaurant called the Big Kahuna than Le Dish any day. He's got nice cars and a TV show that will also be shown in reruns when he is done and has had a bypass. God bless him. Show me some more BBQ Money!!!!!

Yes he's douchy. But hate him or not, his show (DDD) gives some insight into the kitchen and I respect that.

Way to really bunker bust a hard target Denver Westword Insiders... When can we finally read that finely crafted Linsey Lohan hit piece? I guess they will serve no whine until it's time... Does Westword not have an editor anymore? This blunderbuss of hateration really blew up in the face of the author... Yes, guy Fieri is a hacky middle of the road beige piece of nothing... What makes anyone think that the readers of Westword care? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FONN-0uoTHI

^^^ Who has butt hurt feelings Skid? Everyone is entitled to opinion. Me personally, enjoy Guy and DDD. But what, on earth, is the reasoning for some editor (intern I would bet) to bash on someone just because? Again, LAME!

And, the author seriously hated Guy in the late 90's? What kind of douche specifies when they started hating a person? Really? You hated Guy before Food Network gained steam and anyone knew who he was? Did he cut you off in traffic or something? You just sound like a douchey angry hipster.

The Guy Bashing Train was mildly entertaining at best a few months ago. This article is about 8 weeks past it's prime. Even then, calling it funny or entertaining is a stretch.

Guy sucks and if you give him the benefit of the doubt just because you have butthurt feelings towards the Westword, so do you.

Gf never asked me if I was ready for nickleback at the Pepsi center... Ust

I thought I was the only who hated Fieri until I read this a couple of weeks ago. NOT lame in my book.

I can't stand that guy...of all the people on Food Network he is probably the most annoying. This article is spot. On. I remember reading it for the first time when it came out a while back. Superficial? No, just truth. But I'll admit he's successful at what he does. To each their own.

Lame as fuck. This whiny ass editor who wrote this sounds like a jealous, bitter dick hole with nothing better to do than attempt to be funny (and failing) while trying to bash a person who is by far, more successful than the "douche-bag" who wrote this article. Give me back my 3 minutes I wasted on these five pages of trash, and go get a fucking life, loser.

The Westword is just full of lameness lately.

we all love to hate Guy!

I'm not a Fieri apologist, but that was the lamest most superficial article I've ever read.

Figures that he loves The Cherry Cricket. 

@TREEVYFBABY Hahah haters gonna bate

Jenn,

That has to be the best thing I've read in Westword in 5 years or more.  Glad to see I'm not alone!

GF jumped into the whole retro-foodie thing and ran with it with little or no credentials other than getting a hair job and coaching on how to dress and talk to appeal to Gen X/Y followers who don't know good food if it came up and bit them on the a** and after watching Fieri, they'll never know. He's not advancing the appreciation of unique or quality food and instead is all about marketing himself to excess.

Spot on, Jenn!  This post is nearly as good as the review that crucified him a couple of weeks back.  I was in NYC and could not believe the people willing to eat his bastardized  Applebees/Chilis/TGI Fridays food and pay for it.  He could only be more douchey if he wore a fedora on his space-alien pornstar pube hair.

So funny Jen!

Bravo, Ms. Wohletz! That was indeed a finely crafted, scathing platter of cold, hard TRUTH. You may have just become my favorite Westword contributor...

So, you think he's a douche bag? It doesn't get funnier or more insightful when you repeat if five times. Sorry, this isn't clever or insightful. Bad writing.

I shared this on Facebook for this line alone:

"Fieri has hair like space-alien pornstar pubes"

Spot on, he's a massive DBag. But the fact that you included the bit about your preference for the DB and their antics back in the day; grabbing their meat-sticks with glee in the good ole no-strings days, kind of undermines your credibility, i.e. perhaps your strong animosity toward this particular DBag is coming from your own disgust from the fact that before you flipped the switch, these guys used to flip yours.  Just thinking out loud. A personal touch is nice and all, but there are plenty of us who could always spot a DBag and youth had nothing to do with it. 

The kulture that soaks up the grease oozing from guys like Fieri is alive and well, perhaps not for a late 90's version of a DBag like Guy, but certainly for the 2012 versions. Image won out over integrity long ago. There is no shortage of condescending barkeeps and chefs with their sleeve tats and silly hats and overstated eyewear and ironic t-shirts in Denver to keep a Dbag blog dripping with wet ink in perpetuity. The problem is, people - especially young women as you have pointed out here, lap it up. So until the 2012 versions of your '90's self stop falling over each other to be seen and hopefully molested by said barkeep at the latest organic hand massaged pork-belly and "mixology" joint, we will never run out of the likes of Guy.   

Brutal. Loved it!

Well said.
