It's just another "celebrity" restaurant chain geared towards shoving more money into their bank account. What makes Fieri an expert on anything? Who cares if he has a show on television? Yep, I think he's an ass. He wears sunglasses backwards on his head and thinks it looks frosty. A Chef? NIMHO. Restaurant owner? Easy enough to buy into with enough money but difficult to maintain.

I've seen a couple eps in the past, but I can now watch it all. The 1st ep was pretty interesting. Good food ideas and you can duplicate them fairly easy. Yes, GF is a douche, but then who isn't. His sunglasses on the back of his head is nowhere near as annoying as a guy who was part owner of the best pub in our town. He never worked there, jes dropped in to be seen by his adoring fans (it was a really good pub) and oversee his kingdom. He would take his Italian designer sunglasses off his eyes and park them right in the middle (?) of his Luke Perry forehead. Not on top of his head, like most ppl, but in the middle of his forehead!! I don't even think I can do that. It was infuriating! I wanted to slap 'em across the damn room, along with the smug smile that always accompanied his gloat. 8:| nb |

I was watching that Bizarre Foods show the other day for the final bit of it only because I wanted to see what came on after it. I was shocked to see the guy sample some Hungarian paprika with his fingers from a vendor's stall and then put the rest of it that he didn't eat back in the container. Um... No! |

If 1980 ever comes back, he may be cool again. IIRC, he got his TV start on Food Network Next Star as a contestant I guess he won. He also hosted a game show on NBC for a season. He has the raucous personality needed for it I guess. |

'Restaurant Impossible'. Robert Irvine. Sorry, never heard of him until I saw a few episodes of this show. When he takes off his glasses (not sunglasses, thankfully) he parks them in the middle of his forehead. I agree, it looks ridiculous. People who wear sunglasses at night to look cool have no idea how stupid they look. Jill |
