Guy Fieri's "Midnight Series" of Ergo Chef knives

We first heard of Guy Fieri's association with Ergo Chef knives in April of 2009. Two months later, the announcement was made that Guy's company, Knuckle Sandwich, designed a set of two knives with Ergo Chef, released in August of 2009 - a chef's knife, "The Big Stick," and utility knife, "The Dragon Dagger."

Since that time, a full line of cutlery has been developed, with rave reviews. First announced at the Home & Housewares show in Chicago, March 2011, the Knuckle Sandwich "Midnight Series," is now available at FoodNetworkStore.com for customers who want an elegant and sleek, all-black handle design, still with Guy's signature logo.


Included in the full set:

8-in. Big Stick Chef's Knife with Crisscross Crusher
4-in. Lil' Guy Paring Knife
5.5-in. Chopper Santoku Knife with Crisscross Crusher
5.5-in. Dragon Dagger Utility Knife
8 Steak House Knives
6.5-in. The Beast Meat Cleaver
10-in. Blade Warrior Sharpening Steel
17-Slot Battle Station Storage Block


Features:
The blades are precision heat-treated to keep a great edge.
Patented ergonomic design is created to be an extension of your hand for natural comfort.
Made of high-carbon German stainless steel for stain resistance.
Full tang and abbreviated bolster adds strength and balance.
Hollow ground ovals in blade promote less stick and smoother cuts.

There are some great deals on various knife sets. Click here to see the available options. Please visit ErgoChef.com for more background information, find them on Facebook or follow on Twitter @ergochefknives.

Guy Fieri at the JD Invitational BBQ, 2011

It's been a few years since Guy Fieri went to the Jack Daniel’s World Championship Invitational Barbecue. He and Ray Lampe were both judges in 2008. In 2003, Ray Lampe is credited with inadvertently naming Guy's then BBQ team, the Motley Que Crew. (the full story)


The JD Invitational that began in 1989 is held every 4th Saturday in October, in Lynchburg, TN. Visit www.jackdaniels.com. Teams are only allowed to compete if they've won a previous competition. Motley Que Crew won the 32nd American Royal BBQ Overall Grand Championship. (See video or visit them on Facebook.)

This year, it appears that Guy Fieri brought mic's and camera crew to the event. Taping a show?

Tickets on sale for 2012 SoBe Wine & Food Festival

Tonight at midnight, tickets to the general public go on sale for the 2012 South Beach Wine and Food Festival.

Guy Fieri's featured event at SoBe Wine & Food Fest will be Moët Hennessy's The Q presented by Allen Brothers, sponsored by Miami magazine, hosted by Emeril Lagasse and Guy Fieri.

The Q promises to kick off the Festival’s next 10 years in the most glamorous way. To host our opening night, we’ve tapped two major food personalities, Emeril Lagasse and Guy Fieri. Emeril is known for his enthusiastic catchphrase ‘Bam!’ and his highly successful restaurants throughout the US, which specialize in showcasing the cuisine of New Orleans, especially the long history of flavored BBQ creations. He currently hosts the Cooking Channel show Emeril Live and the Food Network Show Essence of Emeril.

Guy Fieri’s charcoal cred includes his Tex Wasabi's restaurants in California, which specialize in bringing Southern BBQ to the West Coast. He also hosts the NBC game show Minute to Win It and Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. At the forefront of this new event is a collection of the best BBQ chefs from across the nation preparing their signature dishes on the grills and in the smokers. From chicken to ribs and brisket to pork buns, expect to run the gauntlet of overflowing flavors and sauces.

A limited number of lucky Q enthusiasts will have the opportunity to purchase VIP tickets ($400) and get a special 45-minute preview. Be the first to try the BBQ as doors are open for you from 6:15-7 PM and watch Emeril Lagasse and Guy Fieri meet and greet The Q chefs and taste what they’ve got cooking.

Barbecue from Guy Fieri's Tex Wasabi's will be there. And participating chefs include Michelle Bernstein, April Bloomfield, Scott Conant, Marc Forgione, Nadia G, Stephanie Izard, Al Roker, Aaron Sanchez and many more.


Tickets for The Q include admission to The Q After Dark. The Q After Dark is your chance to dance the night away while tasting the delicious cocktail concoctions mixed together with a full-bar of spirits from the Moët Hennessy USA portfolio. This is a new tradition of Festival late-night parties! Who knows what remaining fare may be floating around from The Q? Dance in the sand, cocktails in hand, under the stars, with Moët Hennessy bars, party late-night, lots of delight! Sold separately, tickets to Q After Dark are $100.

Fan questions, Mid-October 2011

I've added a new page to this blog, Have a Question? At the end of each month (and sometimes part-way thru!), I'll share what fans are asking and what answers I could find for them. [Some answers are edited for brevity. ~D]

Barbara from South Carolina wrote, "I love food and love to cook. Everything looks so exciting and tasty on the show, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. I cant afford to travel, but would love to with you on one show. To experience the food, fun and the people. My question is would you consider me this wonderful experience just once, PLEASE?"

Our answer: Guy's coming to South Carolina for Diners, Drive-ins and Dives this Fall - we don't have exact dates yet. You can email storyideas@tripledinfo.com for more information, and you can contact Guy's company directly at

Knuckle Sandwich LLC
575 W. College, Suite 202, Santa Rosa, CA 95401

Best of luck! And let us know how it goes?

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

Ford from Lockney asked, "I really enjoy 'Triple D'! Ask Guy to do a show where truck drivers can get to the location. Many times, experienced as a professional truck driver, the locations featured are such that a large, 80,000lb truck, are not allowed to travel. I love to eat, especially places 'off the hook', so, help out a hungry trucker! Do a show for us 'over-the-road' drivers.

Our answer: So glad to hear you enjoy the show! You can email your suggestion to storyideas@tripledinfo.com

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

Roy from Anniston asked, "Where in Alabama can i find a decent plate of red beans and rice? Or do you all have a good recipe for some?"

Our answer: Guy suggests
Guy's Gumbo Shack - website
212 & 1/2 Fairhope Ave., Fairhope, AL 36532 - map
(251) 928-4100
www.guysgumbo.com

You can check out their recipe for Red Beans and Rice, or watch the video from Guy's Gumbo Shack. Guy also loved the Red Beans and Rice at Bunk Sandwiches in Portland, OR. Click here for their recipe. Hope that was what you were looking for!

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

Maurida from San Antonio asked, "What kind of food does Guy Fieri prefer to cook?"

Our answer: What Guy cooks at home is very much like what he cooks on Guy's Big Bite. Pizza from his backyard wood oven, stir-fry Chinese food and Italian meats and pastas are staples.

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

John from Kansas City asked, "Guy did a video for Rachael Ray from his home kitchen that had a 7' commercial range. Do you know what the brand was?"

Our answer That video was made a long time ago! Visit www.rachaelrayshow.com to view the video. Great find! We're told it's a Viking range.

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

Leslie from Townsend asked, "Is Guy coming to DE to Helen's Sausage Hose. Rumor has it he is and if so when? We live around the corner and would love to see it. Thank you"

Our answer: We've heard the same rumor! Helen’s Famous Sausage House, Sambo’s Tavern and the Smyrna Diner have all been researched. Last minute decisions and changes prevent the production company from confirming exact dates and locations at this time.

We'll sure keep our ears open!

If you live so close to the Sausage House, it would be worth your time to visit with the owners and request permission to be there the day of the taping. Typically, shoots are closed to the public; guests are present at the shoot by previous arrangement and permission of the owners. Let us know how it goes!

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

Kristen from Canada asked, "Where can i find/buy your red and black chef jacket? I am extremely desperate to get one by christmas to give as a gift. Any help that could be given to get a hold of one of these chef jackets would be extremely appreciated."

Our answer: They aren't marketed ... yet. That's been in the works for almost a year now. Every so often, one pops up for sale on eBay. We'll keep your email address at hand when we see one!

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

Robin from Chicago asked, "Was Guy on a plane to Germany (from Chicago) on Sat., Oct. 8, 2011? If not, he has a twin who was signing autographs, lol. Just wondering if it was really him. Thanks :)"

Our answer: No. Guy was playing mini-golf with his boys that night. Sorry! October 8 from @GuyFieri, "Enjoyin' a weekend at home with Hunter and Ryder..." and @Guyfieri, "At Scandia mini golf with Ryder and Hunter. Ryder made a hole in one 3 times, last one on the 18th. Rockin it at age 5!"

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

Regina from Long Island asked, "Just trying to find out where Guy recommends to eat in Boston, MA. Love his show and know his advice will be great. Traveling up there for a weekend to meet up with my son who is attending his first year of college.
Thanks!"

Our answer: Depending on what kind of place you're looking for, or what kind of food you're craving, in Boston, check out

Mike's City Diner, 1714 Washington St., (617) 267-9393, www.mikescitydiner.com, watch DDD video.
