Guy Fieri has become a pop culture icon in his own right. These days, the 52-year-old is best known for being a staple on The Food Network and a philanthropic king!
However, some people still view the culinary king as a meme, or as a JOKE. Guess what, sweeties — he's not a joke. He is FAR from it.
Ya know, back when he was visiting restaurants that were operating out of old, abandoned school buses. He was truly a pioneer of the social media foodie reviewer.
Now, almost 15 years since his season 2 win of Food Network Star, Guy is still working for the respect he deserves!
He is one of the most successful chefs and TV presenters to come out of the Food Network, after all.
However, some people still like to make jokes about his spiky bleach blond hair, or his two-toned beard, or the fact that he wears his sunglasses on the back of his head! (We've all done it).
Not only does Guy host three very successful TV shows, Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives; Guy's Grocery Games; and Guy's Ranch Kitchen, he has opened 60 restaurants across four different continents since the beginning of his career!
As you may have heard, the spikey-haired king has helped raise over $21 MILLION for out-of-work restaurant staffers since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
THAT IS LITERALLY MORE THAN CONGRESS HAS DONE IN EIGHT MONTHS, NO BIG DEAL OR ANYTHING!
GUY FIERI FUN FACT: Did you know the Food Network mogul officiated 101 gay weddings in Florida after the state lifted the ban on same-sex marriages back in 2015?!
If that's not a king, IDK what is!
The next time you want to put your sunglasses on the back of your head to MOCK this legend, think about what a REALLY AWESOME PERSON HE IS!
