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. :)

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.

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."
