A good friend of mine lives just north of Santa Rosa, and knows GF very well from their sons playing on the same sports teams. He’s personally interacted with GF on numerous occasions, both locally and when they travel for their kids’ tournaments. Says GF is a regular, down to earth, friendly dad with the kids and the other parents. GF is also extremely accommodating with fans who want a handshake, hug, picture opp and/or autograph. He’s also well known for donating his time, money and support for many fundraisers in the area.

This doesn’t surprise me 1 bit. I don’t care for his style at all, but he has always come across as a genuinely nice person. I don’t mind DDD in small doses.

Hell, I much rather have a beer with him than self-righteous Bourdain.

. . . Hell, I much rather have a beer with him than self-righteous drug addict racist womanizer Bourdain.

FIFY, based upon having read his book.

Guy Fieri’s Times Square restaurant, famously excoriated by the New York Times, is reportedly closing at the end of the year.

Eater NY reports that employees have been told Guy’s American Kitchen and Bar will be closing after service on Dec. 31. Indeed, attempting to make an OpenTable reservation for any date past the 31st results in a “not available” message; plenty of timeslots are available for the next few days, however, if you want one last donkey sauce fix.
