Guy is an idiot.

Hearing the stories from a friend of mine that works in the kitchen at one of the places he visited, and just from watching the show myself, it's easy to conclude that Guy Fieri is a talentless hack and a douchebag to boot. here are the top 5 things that i hate about him.

#1. the glasses behind the head. i want to jam them down his throat.
#2. the "i'm so cool attitude" we don't care where you're from, looking like a fat surfer-hippie is only cool if YOU AREN'T A TOTAL TOOLBAG ON TELEVISION.. if ever.
#3. Talking down to pretty much everyone he encounters, as if they have a god or genius gracing them with his presence. free publicity isn't worth that.
#4. EVERYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF HIS MOUTH. but not the stuff going in. the food on that show all looks delectable. however, his reactions to biting into things are predictable and boring. no one cares what you think of the food, just eat it and smile at the camera you stupid gorilla. IT'S the important part, not you.
#5. Flip flops in the kitchen. there's a time and place for almost-bare feet, and it's not there. not to mention what happens if you drop a fork on your toe, and then decide you'd like to be a little richer by putting one of these great places out of business, dillweed. put some shoes on.

...Who's with me?

You say that you heard stories from a friend who works at one of the places that he visited, but your criticisms and conclusions for his being a "talentless hack and a douchebag to boot" seem to be based purely on personal observations from the show. Do you have any proof of his douchebaggery, or are you just a hater?

Ditto...Deeobella.

He went to The Red Arrow in Manchester,NH and everyone there said he was great. They also said that he usually just takes a bite from the dish and then let's the crew members finish it up. (He cuts off the part he bites from.)

I tend to disagree with the OP. There's a million of these "we come to your restaurant and taste your food and make yummy faces" shows on this and other cable networks. Yet, DDD endures and the others mostly went by the wayside.

I'll admit that it took a while for DDD to grow on me, but now it's my favorite show of this type. It's the one show that seems to really search out places where people stand in line for an hour to eat, and then gives you a really good idea of how they make their food.

Stupidest thread ever.

You're dumb. It's his job to taste the food and give feedback, the producers tell him to tell the audience what he's tasting and he does. And he does a damn nice job, I say, I always want a bite of what he's trying. Maybe sometimes he says the same things, but if you were told to talk about everything you've ever tasted on that show, wouldn't run out of great things to say as well?

I am kind of surprised that we don't have a show yet, where Guy doesn't strip off his T-shirt and show America all of his idiot tattoos.

his schtick is his own and doesn't take away from the joints he visits. guess you can tell that i dig the show. lighten up, watch somethin' else

Truth is, Guy is annoying...but, DDD is a great show, since I have discovered a few places here in Baltimore that I was unaware of. Like some have said, I have become used to him, so he doesn't annoy me as much. I think my biggest complaint about him is when he seems to question the cook/chef in the kitchen, when they add this or that to a recipe. I don't think he does it as much anymore, so to me, it's no big deal. And who cares about his weight?
