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.

Just read the status of DDD... certainly disappointing. I am sure there are two sides to every story... I hope Guy remembers we enjoy his show... but it is people that makes him the success that he is.
