Guy Fieri grill recipes from The View, Memorial Day

Guy Fieri was on The View on Monday, May 30, 2011, to teach the co-hosts some of his favorite recipes for the grill - perfect for Memorial Day! Here they are:

PEPPERONI BURGER

2 ⁄3 pound ground beef (80% lean)
1⁄3 pound medium grind ground pork
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup pepperoni matchsticks
1⁄2 cup diced onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1⁄4 cup diced seeded tomatoes
Four 1- inch slices fresh mozzarella
1⁄4 ice cube cup
4 ciabatta rolls

1. In a medium bowl, gently combine the beef and the pork. Form the mixture into four 1- inch- thick patties, season them with salt and pepper, and refrigerate.
2. In a cast- iron skillet over medium- high heat, heat the olive oil. When it's shimmering, add the pepperoni. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes or until just crisp. Transfer to a paper-towel- lined plate.
3. Cook the onion in the same skillet for 5 to 6 minutes, until they just start to color. Add the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Add the tomatoes and pepperoni and cook for 2 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer everything to a bowl, leaving the oil in the skillet.
4. With the heat still at medium- high, cook the burger patties for 5 minutes on one side and 3 on the other for medium- rare. Top each patty with one quarter of the pepperoni mixture and cover with a slice of mozzarella. Add the ice cube to the pan and cover tightly for 3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and cover the patties.
5. Meanwhile, split and toast the rolls.
6. Place a burger on each roll and serve immediately.

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.

Click here for the full story.

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."

Take it from Kathy Griffin, eat at Johnny Garlic's

Johnny Garlic's in Santa Rosa, CA got a nice shout out from Kathy Griffin on Twitter:

@KathyGriffin: Wow! If u want great food, do like I did & run to @chefguyfieri! Team G @ Johnny Garlic's...

While in Santa Rosa for a performance on Saturday, January 29, 2011 at the Wells Fargo Center, Kathy Griffin and her entourage were treated to a 10-course meal, served by Guy Fieri and his staff.


For more on Kathy Griffin's tour dates, click here.

Johnny Garlic's currently has three locations: in Windsor, Santa Rosa and Roseville, CA. A fourth Johnny Garlic's, at Hacienda Crossing in Dublin, CA is under construction and scheduled to open in Spring, 2011.

A few of Johnny Garlic's unique dishes include:

The Grilled Onion Tortilla Stack, a Fieri Family Recipe. 12 layers of flour tortillas, with a mixture of caramelized onions, garlic and balsamic aioli. This dish was featured on the Sangria Shrimp episode of Guy's Big Bite.

The Hunters Creations are a rotation of exotic game and 'Off Da Hook' seafood, brought in daily and prepared by Johnny Garlic's culinary leaders.

Finish your meal with the mouth watering Breath Mint Pie (recipe), an Oreo cookie crust with junior mints tossed in mint chip ice cream. This dynamite dessert was seen on the Camp Cookoff episode of Dinner: Impossible with Robert Irvine.

Tex Wasabi's currently has two locations: in Sacramento and Santa Rosa, CA. The Santa Rosa location has been closed since the Fall of 2009, due to a broken water main that destroyed the floor. A series of difficulties with city building permits has delayed the remodel and construction process, but a recent update from Tex Wasabi's management states that the Tex Wasabi's in Santa Rosa is now under construction and slated for opening in early Spring 2011!

*Update* Tex Wasabi's in Santa Rosa is now open for business. Click here.

Featured at Tex Wasabi's:

The Bourbon Street Hurricane has Cruzan Estate Light Rum, orange and pineapple juice, grenadine and a float of Don Q Rum! This is a sure way to celebrate Mardi Gras without leaving town. To make a hurricane at home, try this one from the Guy's Big Easy episode of Guy Off the Hook.

Word on the street: a Guy Fieri signature restaurant will open in Las Vegas, NV sometime this year. More as we hear of it.

"One of the most unique foods I tried when I went to Pittsburgh, that I couldn't even believe was going to be as good as it is, and as a matter of fact I even made my rendition of it and did it on my show, 'Guy's Big Bite,' and that was at Kelly O's; haluski. Haluski at Kelly O's was one of my all-time favorites," Guy said.

Guy Fieri on Tuesday's Tonight Show with Jay Leno

Guy Fieri will appear (again) on Jay Leno's Tonight Show on Tuesday, May 11, 2010. The show airs at 11:35 p.m. ET/PT and at 10:35 p.m. central and mountain.

Amanda Seyfried is the first guest, who plays the role of Sophie in both "Letters to Juliet" (2010) and in "Mamma Mia!" (2008). She was nominated for an MTV Movie Award for Breakthrough Performance Female in "Mamma Mia!" and won an MTV Movie Award for Best On-Screen Team in "Mean Girls" (2004).

Guy is the second guest on the Tonight Show to promote Wednesday's charity episode of Minute to Win It with Kevin Jonas. Guy's NBC competition show has been averaging 5.5 million viewers. I'll put my money down K2 will increase viewership to 9.5 million. Any takers?

This will be Guy's fourth television appearance with Jay. First time was in March 2009, when Guy cooked Pork En Fuego on The Tonight Show. Guy appeared on The (now defunct) Jay Leno Show in November 2009, for the Ten @Ten. Then in January 2010, Guy deep fried foods for Kim Kardashian, again on The Jay Leno Show. The most recent time was in March 2010, just before the premiere of Minute to Win It, when Jay and Kristen Stewart played the M2WI game, "Hanky Panky" on The Tonight Show.

The music act, Luke Bryan, a country singer / sonwriter who won two awards at the 2010 Academy of Country Music Awards, will make his debut appearance on "The Tonight Show" Tuesday and will perform his smash single, "Rain Is A Good Thing" from the CD "Doin' My Thing".

Oooo! When Guy's in chef's coat, you know he's cookin'!

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on NBC. View recipes from the show.

Speaking of Minute to Win It, followers of @ChefGuyFieri on Twitter were treated to a Live Twitter session, a blow-by-blow commentary of the show last night. Guy, great job! I'm wondering if a M2WI Twibe is in order? or perhaps a live chat session on GuyFieri.com in the future? The tweets were several hours too late for anyone east of the Pacific time zone, and a competition spoiler for anyone west of it.

Oh yeah, and someone's gotta introduce that man to Justin.TV, too. :)

Guy Fieri - on fried Oreos and fried pizza

On Tuesday, January 5, 2010, Guy Fieri made a guest appearance on The Jay Leno Show during Kim Kardashian's Earn Your Plug segment.

Today, I've been inundated with requests for Guy Fieri's recipes for Fried Oreos and Fried Pizza. Readers, there is no recipe, per se, but here's how it all went down on Leno.

Fried Oreos - according to me, as directed by Guy Fieri
Ingredients
Oreos (could be double stuff, could be original)
Milk
Flour
Tempura batter (available in most grocery stores; check the Asian section)
Canola oil, for frying

Directions
Preheat oil to 350 degrees F
1. Dip those Oreos deep in milk. Get them completely covered.
2. Dredge the Oreos in flour, coating both sides.
3. Dip the Oreos in prepared tempura batter
4. CAREFULLY drop the Oreos in oil; fry until golden brown and delicious.
5. Serve with vanilla ice cream and chocolate topping (if you can get the chocolate topping out of the squeeze bottle. haha.)
6. According to KK, enjoy once a year.


Deep Fried Pizza - according to me, as directed by Guy Fieri
Ingredients
Pizza skin (that would be pizza dough to the rest of us; commonly found in the frozen foods section of your grocery store)
Pizza sauce
Mozzarella cheese (or pizza cheese mix, check the deli section of your store)
Pepperoni
Other toppings as desired
Water
Canola oil, for frying

Directions
Preheat oil to 350 degrees F
1. Thaw and stretch out the pizza skin
2. Cut each skin in half
3. Slather pizza sauce on one half of each piece of pizza dough
4. Top with cheese, pepperoni and desired toppings
5. With your finger, apply water around the edges of the pizza dough
6. Fold piece in half, creating a calzone-like pizza pocket; pinch the edges together tightly.
7. CAREFULLY drop pizza in oil and fry 5 to 10 minutes


For a limited time, view Guy Fieri, Jay Leno and Kim Kardashian's segment on www.TheJayLenoShow.com or at Hulu, if that platform works better for you.

A brief aside: From @JeffBryanDavis, Had dinner with Guy Fieri last night at a fancy Japanese restaurant. I wish I had something funny to add to that. Which, in itself, is funny.

Guy Fieri to cook on The Jay Leno Show

Guy Fieri will be on The Jay Leno Show (website) tonight, Tuesday, January 5, 2010. According to Guy's press agent, "Want to know how to deep fry Oreos, pizza or cheesecake? Tonight @ChefGuyFieri will teach Kim Kardashian on Leno!"

I'm sure Guy will get a shout out for his new prime time game show on NBC (the same network as the Jay Leno Show), Perfect 10. (Er, or is that Minute To Win It - tweet) Kim Kardashian is the special guest and the featured segment is with Jillian Michaels.

The last time Guy Fieri was on The Jay Leno Show was for the Ten @ Ten: Guy Fieri, on November 11, 2009. Two of my favorite questions?

Jay: Choose A, B or C. Johnny Garlic's is...
A) The name of one of your restaurants
B) A dish you created
C) The worst name ever for a men's cologne

Guy: I wish it was C, because that would be money. But it's actually A, the name of my restaurant.

...

Jay: Choose A, B or C. number ten. The Awesome Pretzel is...
A) A three-wheel bicycle cart your dad built for you so you could sell pretzels
B) A new show by Cirque du Soleil
C) $200 at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch brothel

Guy: [laughing] I don't even want to know how C was dreamed up. But it was actually A, the name of my pretzel business when I was a kid. The Awesome Pretzel.

Guy Fieri also made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in March 2009, where he demonstrated Pork En Fuego.

On New Year's Eve, Santa Rosa's newspaper, the Press Democrat, caught up with Guy Fieri and his family, celebrating Ryder's (Guy's son's) 4th birthday.

When asked about Perfect 10, Guy said that he's "been sitting on this for about two and a half months." He went on to say a very cool set is being built in a 350-seat studio in Los Angeles. Shooting for the show starts mid-January, which doesn't yet have a premiere date.

The article also mentioned that Guy Fieri is preparing to visit the White House and the Obamas to promote cooking with kids.

It has been a long-time goal of Guy's to make a national Cook With Your Kids Day. The first step was for California to recognize the day on a state level. In March of 2008, Governor Schwarzenegger teamed up with Guy Fieri on the steps of The State Capitol in Sacramento, California, for Ag Day.

In May 2009, Guy Fieri teamed up again with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver passing a resolution that the second Saturday in May be proclaimed "Cook With Your Kids Day" in California. Now it's straight to the top. Guy Fieri, best of luck!

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. For more from the day's shoot, click here. The episode is due to air on January 25, 2010. Click here for more information on this episode.


Guy Fieri flipping a coin while taping Tailgate Warriors on August 15, 2009. Click here for more information on this Food Network special. 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.



Here, Guy Fieri and his crew do a radio interview before the Guy Fieri Road Show in San Jose, California on 107.7 The Bone: The Bay Area's Rock Station, based in San Francisco, CA. www.1077thebone.com
