I know how much you guys love Guy Fieri, and he just opened a restaurant in Las Vegas. The problem is he clearly doesn't know how to write descriptions for the items on his menu. Clearly /ck/ could do better judging from that thread we had where we described your own food as if you were Guy Fieri.

So /ck/, rewrite Guy's menu descriptions as if Guy Fieri himself was honestly describing them to the camera/you out loud.

I live in a rural area and do not eat out much, but seriously almost $20 for a burger? Same for tacos. It seems ridiculous to me, because i doubt the food there is above applebees tier. Is that common for big tourist filled cities?

DC reporting in. ~$10 is not unheard of for a decent sized gourmet burger around here. It's probably only that expensive because of his name + the fact that it's served in las vegas.

>> No.5379676

>>5379665

celebrities are business people. their business is to market themselves and sell their brand (their brand is themselves).

So... he has built up quite a following, right? Why did he hire all the publicity agents, why did he start all these shows? To grow his brand. Now his brand is large.

People will pay $20 dollars just so they can say they got a guy fieri burger, just like people will buy $300 dollar jordans just to say they have that shoe.

It's not a hard concept. If you're not star struck by Guy Fieri's awesome resemblence to Smashmouth lead singer, and late Oxyclean spokesman Billy Mays, then maybe you should go to a less commercialized, marketed, hollywoodesque place.

This SHOULD be common sense. All you have to do is "google" with your fucking brain.

Because he's on TV. I don't know about you, but I spend so much time online and listening to music that I forget the power television still has. For many it's still the main information and entertainment medium they consume. If you're a television personality you are a celebrity. And if you're a food celebrity you will come up in discussions about food.

Otherwise he'd just be some guy who owns a chain of overpriced, lowbrow restaurants, along with an embarrassing line of frozen foods.

Same is true for Bourdain. If he hadn't become a TV personality he'd just be a former chef who wrote a couple hilarious books.

I am, like you, fascinated by the mystery of how Guy Fieri's voice became so deeply rooted in this man's mind. Did ancient astronauts embed it in our collective unconscious millenia ago in retribution for not paying the bill for the pyramids on time? Did God not get enough sleep before he went to work and end up spilling it all over Anon's mind when he was on the workbench?

Bourdain was a chef at a few places. He fucked up with addiction, and had to build back a career. By the end of his cooking career he was chef of a respectable, but hardly noteworthy joint that mostly sold steak frites. No doubt he knows his shit, but we know about him because he wrote an outrageous book that he built a fresh career around. He has yet to open his own restaurant.

Fieri might not know anything about food beyond what a fat guy with poor judgment and too much money wants to eat, but he turned that into an empire before we knew who he was. He may not know shit about good food, but he's a successful restaurateur, regardless.

While I tend to agree with Bourdain, and find Fieri a joke, the only reason we talk about either of them here is because they're television personalities.

You guys have the formula right. Fieri got his start working for Stouffer's. He never has been about fine food. He built his career posing answers to the question, "What would someone with trailer trash taste eat if they suddenly came into money?" The kind of guys who love to eat, have made a little money, but would feel uncomfortable using a fork and knife in public. If they had to wear a jacket for dinner it'd look funny over their bowling shirt.

So he creates a fantasy world where they are the epitome of success, and to prove it he makes the food expensive. And these slobs with more money than taste line up for it, almost as a point of pride, as if to show the world THEY'RE right, and the world of fine dining is just so much horseshit.

It's a celebration of ignorance, excess and bad taste. Perfect for Vegas.

If gimmicks are your thing, that's fine. But the food almost always suffers for it.
>>5383653
I think he's a brilliant businessman. I just think what he's done is a little bit of a shame. Let me tell you a story:

My bro is a big guy with a goatee, a muscle car and he wears bowling shirts with flames on them. He's a big American food enthusiast, and a master at the grill and smoker. For years he's joked that Fieri is doing the show he ought to be doing, and he hates the guy with a passion.

But there's a big difference between my bro and Fieri, which is the reason Fieri is a success in the restaurant business, and my bro is just a serious home cook. Unlike Fieri, my bro cares about the food being good. He doesn't give a fuck about being excessive or extreme. He doesn't care about the biggest cheeseburgers in America, but he's traveled enough to know where to find some of the best. He doesn't care about the most extreme ribs, but will slow smoke his own for 10 hours if need be. He has a weakness for the roadside, hot rod, early rock and roll Americana thing, but knows to avoid restaurants that try hard to evoke that pastiche, because the food won't live up to the image evoked.

I pointed out to him that if he did a show it would fail, because it would be too much about the food. It would be too serious a celebration of this kind of American food. Fieri's evil genius is celebrating the stupid - the excess of it all - to the point where the food itself is beside the point. You have to come from more of a foodservice background like Fieri to pull this off. If you really love the food you couldn't do it.

Exactly. These things taste good. They may not be the healthiest choices for day to day eating, but they're worth celebrating as, well, celebration foods. Our cuilinary history might not go back very far, but we can take pride in having come up with some delicious stuff so far.

There's no reason (beyond greed) to turn these foods into symbols of excess, then celebrate that excess to such a degree than an intelligent person feels stupid for likeing them.

This is what Fieri does.
