Update on Guy Fieri Food, the Road Show, more

Guy Fieri is on the road in support of the release of his new cookbook, "Guy Fieri Food." So far, the road show tour has hit Charleston, Cherokee, Windsor and Cleveland, and ten more stops are on the schedule, today through June 7, 2011.

Allan of Toohey and Fee, Q104 radio, saw Guy Fieri at Playhouse Square in Cleveland last night. Take a look at some of his pics from the show!

Fans are loving seeing Guy Fieri live. The only slightly negative feedback I've received from some is that the video montage segment is ... less (?) ... entertaining than the rest of the 2 1/2 hour show. But the majority like it, saying that the energy, music and laughs are well worth the ticket price.

There have also been many requests for Guy's Pork En Fuego recipe. Click here to download.

"Guy Fieri Food" (HarperCollins: $29.99) is listed at #7 on the New York Times Best-sellers (source). Visit BrooksPR.com for behind-the-scenes information on the launching of Guy's new cookbook.

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

One of Guy Fieri's signature restaurants, Tex Wasabi's in Santa Rosa, CA, recently reopened after a 1 1/2 year closure. Brett Hutchison, chief operating officer, tells me that the first few days have been incredible!

Grand Reopening date has yet to be determined.

The Press Democrat reports that owners Guy Fieri and Steve Gruber spent $1 million to remodel the restaurant. "Santa Rosa is an extraordinary city," Guy Fieri wrote, "and we are sure that the national attention that Tex Wasabi's will generate will help to promote the entire downtown community.”

Tex Wasabi's employs 60 people and conjectures an annual revenue of $2.5 million.

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

Dozens of restaurants are on pins and needles when Food Network recently removed premiere episodes of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives from their schedule. The pending lawsuit between Page Productions and Food Network has put three previously-scheduled debuts, May 30, June 6 and June 13, on hold.

Grillin' and Smokin' was scheduled for 5/30/11, featuring San Antonio's Bun 'N' Barrel, Denver's Tocabe American Indian Eatery and Munch's Restaurant & Sundries in St. Petersburg. Barbequed, Baked, and Brined (repeat) airs instead.

Southern Flavor was scheduled for 6/6/11, featuring the Broken Record in San Francisco, Denver's Bang! and Jose's Real Cuban Food in Bradenton, FL. Sauced and Spiced (repeat) airs instead.

Gettin' Fresh was scheduled for 6/13/11. The episode was to highlight Five Points Community Farm Market in Norfolk, Chicago's Nana Organic and The Sink in Boulder. At the time of this writing, the 9 pm time slot is empty.

Jose Baserva and Darlene of Jose’s Real Cuban Food said they're stressed about the news, and Mark Heinritz of The Sink said, "I can't tell you how bummed out we are. Our script was just finished 2 weeks ago."

Restaurants see a HUGE influx of business in the days and weeks following a Triple D premiere. Owners must stock up on food, supplies and staff to prepare. All of that is on hold, pending a Food Network response to allegations of breaking contract with Page Productions.

We all hope for a swift and equitable outcome.

7th most successful American chef, Guy Fieri

By consulting various websites and databases, researchers at The Daily Meal considered net worth and salary estimates of American chef's personal income for 2010. They compiled their list of the 25 most successful chefs, listing Wofgang Puck at #1, Paula Deen at #5 and Guy Fieri at #7.

They write

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.

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."

Read the full article.

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. We look forward to continuing to work with Guy Fieri to produce future original episodes of his popular show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives."

We expect to hear more on the matter in due course.

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

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.”

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."

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.

New shows and one cancelled

As reported earlier, Guy Fieri and Rachael Ray are working on a new show, to premiere sometime this summer on The Food Network. Zap2it.com writes that Rachael described it as "the cooking equivalent of 'Dancing With the Stars.'"

Guy Fieri went on to say the competition is a

"brother and sister culinary battle," as he considers Rachael his "sister from another mister." The show is going to feature celebrities with varying degrees of culinary ability to come on the show and compete in two teams of five. "Rachael's going to get five, I'm going to get five and it's going to be battle royale!" teases Fieri.

And KansasCity.com reports that Jeff "Stretch" Rumaner, owner of Grinders in Kansas City of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives fame, is currently working on a potential television series with SpikeTV. The project, called “Hungry Men at Work,” will pair top chefs with men working dangerous jobs around the world.

“It’s not just another show where you throw ingredients in the bowl,” Stretch said this week. “It gives you the chemistry, the science behind the foods, like how cayenne helps the blood flow, the spinach has iron. We have great graphics too” — courtesy of the same team that does graphics for “Deadliest Warrior.”

Plans have episodes to be taped in the frozen tundra of North Dakota, with men fighting wilderness fires and drilling oil in the Arctic.

After his debut with Guy Fieri on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, "Stretch" has appeared with Guy on Guy's Big Bite, the Guy Fieri Road Show in 2009, and is set to join Guy again on the road this Spring. He travels with America's Chefs entertaining the troops, and he has also appeared on ABC's “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” and Discovery Channel's “Monster House.”

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

The Charlotte Observer reports this morning that the Guy Fieri Food Road Show appearance in Charlotte, NC, scheduled for May 18, 2011, has been cancelled. "Scoop Marketing, which was handling information on Fieri's appearance, would say only that a scheduling conflict forced the cancellation of Fieri's May 18 show at Ovens Auditorium."

"We regret to inform everyone that the Guy Fieri Food Road Show scheduled for May 18th has been cancelled," Ovens Auditorium wrote from Facebook. "All refunds will come from the origin of purchase."

Fan questions, March 2011

Recently I added a new page to this blog, Have a Question? At the end of each month, I'll share what fans are asking and what answers I could find for them. [Some answers are edited for brevity. ~D]

Darla from Cleveland, TN wrote, "I work in television and am very impressed with how well the show is shot, edited and produced. Can you tell me what kind of cameras you shoot with? Thank you!"

Our answer:: I wrote to Anthony Rodriguez, one of the crew who shoots Diners, Drive-ins and Dives with Guy in the field with your question. Here's his reply: "First off all, please pass on a very big thank you from the crew. We work hard to put DDD together in the field and it's such a huge compliment to hear that people enjoy it.

"To answer the question, we shoot DDD on Panasonic AJ-HDX900 DVCPro HD cameras."

Thank you Anthony! The camera costs $30,235; Anthony writes, "that's just for the camera body without a lens... :) !" Yikes.

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

Elena of Santa Maria writes, "There are two things my four year daughter Ashli knows really well, President of the United States and her favorite cook. She will make it a point to watch every time Guy comes on and we can't pull her away from the television when he's on. Once Guy is on we sit and watch. She will be five in June and all I want to make sure of is she gets T-shirt and autographed picture."

Our answer: Five! Always glad to hear that kids are interested in food and cooking. :) For Ashli's birthday, I'd like to suggest that you check out this T-shirt? For information on autographed merchandise, click here. I hope Ashli will be thrilled! Keep in touch to let us know it all worked out. :)

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

Cody of Thief River Falls writes, "Hey Guy, so since you didn't show at The Anchor Bar and Grill they don't have a 'Guy Ate Here' sign. Is there anyway you could find it in your heart to help them out with that? Personally, I think they deserve it."

Our answer: There are a few Triple D joints that have been featured on the show, un-hosted. Since Guy wasn't there to eat, he wasn't there to paint the "Guy Ate Here" tag and sign the wall. Also, none of the restaurants from the first season have tags; that practice started late in 2007.

But I should think that if the Anchor Bar wants something, they could contact their on-site producer or contact at Page Productions' home office in Minnesota. Thanks so much for taking the time to write in with your support of one of our Triple D's. The Anchor Bar is certainly a fan favorite!

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

Joey in Batesville, AR wrote, "about a month ago I watched a show (I can't rember what one)Mr. Fieri went to a restaurant where young adults (kids) were the chef's. I say Kids, teenagers. Can you please tell me the restrant's name? all I rember that it is in cal. Me and my wife are going to visit there and i'm wanting to take her to the restaurant."

Our answer: I'll bet that was Worth Our Weight, known as WOW, in Santa Rosa, CA. It was featured on the Funky Finds episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.

Worth Our Weight - website
1021 Hahman Drive, Santa Rosa, CA 95405 - map

Worth our Weight is a certified 501c(3) non profit. And if you'd like to review that segment from the show, follow this link for video on YouTube. I hope that was the one! And if you go, send our regards!

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

Edward, Allentown asks, "How did Guy Fieri start his career?"

Our answer: From Guy Fieri's official biography, Guy Fieri began his love affair with food at the age of ten, selling soft pretzels from a three-wheeled bicycle cart he built with his father named “The Awesome Pretzel.” ... attended University of Nevada Las Vegas, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Management. He began his career with Stouffers, managing their flagship restaurant in Long Beach, CA. After three years, Guy became District Manager of Louise’s Trattoria, where he oversaw six restaurants and was in charge of recruiting and training.

In 1996, Guy and his business partner, Steve Gruber embarked on a Sonoma County, CA-based Italian restaurant, Johnny Garlic’s. They opened their first location in Santa Rosa in the fall of 1996. And Guy competed and won the 2nd season of "The Next Food Network Star" in 2006.

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

Italo of Belle River, Ontario writes, "Is Guy coming to Ceaser's Windsor Ontario Canada if yes when? thanks"

Our answer: Yes! He sure is. And as far as I can tell, this is Guy's first public appearance in Canada. Guy Fieri's Food Show at The Colosseum at Caesars Windsor, Windsor, ON is scheduled for Saturday, May 21, 2011 09:00 PM - tickets

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

Karen from Bedford writes, "On Guy's Big BIte, who's trophies and what are they for?"

Our answer: Although a huge fan of sports in general, Guy isn't a judo champion, slam-dunk master or wold-class golfer. All the trophies on Guy's Big Bite shelf are rented from a prop house. Shhh, it's a set secret! :)

More information about the set, visit Food Network Magazine's Behind-the-Scenes on Guy's Big Set.

In September of 2009, Guy Fieri and his company, Knuckle Sandwich, announced they'd go on the road across America with a new kind of live entertainment show - a cooking demo, rock concert style. From November 17 through December 19 of 2009, the crew traveled by bus and airplane, entertaining thousands in 21 cities from East coast to West.


On December 11 and 12, 2009, in Seattle WA and Portland OR, camera crews caught all the action for a forthcoming television special.

Fans give back and connect with Guy Fieri

It's been said that Guy Fieri is perhaps the most accessible of all Food Network stars, hosts and chefs; I don't know enough about the other Food Network personalities to say. But I do know that fans are eager to meet him, and they frequently offer a token gift of appreciation and thanks for his shows, lifestyle and/or charitable works.

Carlos Lovato, of Sinners-Inc, presented Guy Fieri with a 12:1 piston ring at a book signing in June, 2009, during the Great American Food & Music Fest. Guy was so taken with the ring, that he's been seen wearing it at almost every public appearance, and on the majority of the shows he's taped and produced since that time.

In preparation for the Guy Fieri Road Show, and in appreciation for the invaluable national exposure of their jewelry, Sinners-Inc made exclusive custom piston rings with the Kulinary Gangsta logo for Guy Fieri and his "Kulinary Krew," right-hand man Kleetus and left-hand man Dirty.

Four rings were produced; one of those four is as yet unspoken for. Carlos is considering donating the fourth ring (an auction, perhaps?) towards the Friends Raising Funds organization, to support their efforts.

A fifth ring has been ordered for Rich Bacchi, a.k.a. Gorilla, from Gorilla BBQ (BBQ & More DV0510) in Pacifica, CA, who traveled with Guy Fieri on the Road Show. [I wonder what size ring a gorilla wears? :) ~D]

Carlos and his business partner Victor Martino hung out with the Krew and Guy's family in San Jose at the Road Show, December 2009. Carlos said, "it was quite the experience, and Guy is an incredible host."

Kleetus, Dirty, Carlos, Guy and Victor

Guy Fieri has long been a fan of baseball (even though we hear more about football and the Oakland Raiders). In Louisville, KY, Guy Fieri was presented with a Louisville Slugger.

Louisville Slugger's very own Danny Luckett and his wife Pattee, giving Guy Fieri a personalized bat when he was in town, December 2009.

Click here to read the MLB's All-Star Game's official program with comments from Guy Fieri.

At a recent Cowboy Mouth concert in San Francisco, CA, welcomingspirit.blogspot.com accidentally stumbled into Guy Fieri and his krew on a night out on the town. She writes, "Guy Fieri got up on stage and played the drums with Fred [LeBlanc]. Guy also danced with the crowd, surrounded by guys in black jackets with "Kulinary Gangsta" written on the back. Awesome. Seriously."


See more pictures from the show.

Foodies Like Us - an Arizona Triple D event

Foodies Like Us (website) in partnership with Mesa Arts Center proudly presented: An Evening with Guy Fieri and Arizona's Own Diner, Drive-in and Dive Chefs. The event was timed in the hours before the Guy Fieri Road Show in Mesa, Arizona, Friday December 18, 2009.


Tickets were $48 (+ service fee) for admission to Guy Fieri's Road Show and pre-party featuring Arizona Diner's Drive-ins and Dives chefs and menu samplings. The event also served as a benefit for the local food bank.

The Arizona-based restaurants who catered the pre-party event included:

The Phoenix New Times reported on the event, saying in part,

"Los Taquitos in Ahwatukee proved to be a crowd favorite -- or at least, a Guy favorite. While in town, Guy popped by the 10-year-old eatery run by five sisters for lunch. "Everyone was talking about it and coming in to see Guy," said oldest sister Adrianna.

Over Easy in Phoenix showed off their mouthwatering brioche french toast with caramelized banana and pecans. ​​Joe's Farm Grill tossed in an unexpected ahi slider, and Haus Murphy's in Glendale brought out the apple strudel and hackbraten (German-style meatloaf). Add that to barbecued pork, mango mousse, Emerald Chicken from Chino Bandido and Salsa Brava's tacos and you had one satisfied and stuffed foodie crowd."

The event in Mesa was unique to all of the 21 cities visited on the Road Show tour. No one else put such effort forth honoring locally-owned restaurants and in support of their area's eateries and food bank. Bravo, Foodies Like Us. Bravo.

I'd like to encourage everyone to check out GuyFieri.com/tourdates to see a message from Guy Fieri, thanking everyone for their hard work towards the success of the Road Show and suggests, yes. There will be a Guy Fieri Road Show 2010.

"We will see you again on the next tour ... stay tuned ... we're just getting' started!" - Guy Fieri

Random tidbits from the last few months

Sometimes I run across pictures, tidbits of news and rather random things that just don't fit in other posts. Either that, or what I find is something about which I've already posted. So this, rather random post, is just my way of cleaning out the fridge ....

Guy Fieri and Kenny Stabler, taping an upcoming special on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives called Triple D Goes Tailgatin’. This was filmed at an Oakland Raiders game on September 14, 2009.

The episode aired on October 17, 2009 to a lot of interest by tailgaters everywhere. It's a great idea for an entire series of shows; one hopes it might be picked up for a full season in 2010.
