worst sounding sushi roll at guy fieri's southern bbq & california style sushi restaurant tex wasabi's

i am watching this--honestly it's a breath of fresh air after sandra

i enjoy guy

CAD stick around for "down home with the neelys"

he's less obnoxious when he's just cooking as opposed to like, diners/driveins/dives

what do they do? sadly it's not till 5:30 and i was going to try to drag my sick ass to class

it's hard to describe the neelys -- they're a couple and their show is weirdly sexual & the husband is just freaking bizarre

i really started to enjoy diner drive-ins and dives after the missus pointed out how OBVIOUSLY totally baked he is half the time on that show

ddd is one of my favorite shows on tv

then again i watch food network from the hours of 2 pm - 5 pm every day so \(o_O)/

the best part of ddd is when the ppl are genuinely weirded out by him and would obv rather not be doing the show cuz he's like constantly fist bumping

I'm on record for my endorsement of the Neelys, terribly earnest pop psychology lectures to the camera and all.

they are kinda bizarre and yet i want them to adopt me

they would make you eat vanilla ice cream with the Neely's Special Dry Rub sprinkled all over it.

man you guys are tempting me but i haven't been outside for over 50 hours

jeez

English speakers butchering of Japanese vs. Japanese speakers butchering of English?

was in a restaurant a while ago and some v loud guy at a nearby table was telling everyone how he had been to Japan and you know karaoke isn't pronounced like that and mispronunciation is a terrible and shocking ignorance that is uniquely white and Anglophone (continued for about 10 minutes)

was mentally compiling a list of Japanese borrowings from English which are not pronounced like the English

basketoburu

every culture mispronounces/appropriates words in a weird way. The Japanese do it, igringos do it, Latinos do it. Guy Fieri is still Satan.

igringos!

I was at this really nice cafe in cleveland that I guess was on ddd. Guy Fieri signed a poster they had hanging in the front window. This fuckin guy actually writes like this:

TO DA' DINER DAT HAS DA' BEST BREAKFAST IN ALL OF CLEVELAND

TS: this guy vs. the guy stumbling out of the sushi restaurant across the street from my house yelling "I LOVE SAKE!"

Americans have a weird relationship with Japan

The Western world has a weird relationship with Japan

Fixed.

i don't actively dislike guy fieri, really, he seems like a KIP kind of dude and some of those places he's been to look insane.

Guy Fieri's Rock and Roll Sake = soy sauce/mayo/chili oil with a Coors Light chaser.

this dudes "wearing sunglasses on the back of his head" game is TIGHT

today he's making "guy-talian nachos" and "won tacos"

this "guy-talian nachos" thing is so sandra lee that it's almost scary

he's making an "italian salsa" & also right now he's combining sour cream & ricotta cheese because of how sour cream is usually on mexican nachos, but these are italian

"it tastes like an italian lasagna... on a crispy wonton. which is exactly what it should be!"

lol

sounds like he needs better weed?

so we went to our favorite / the best taco place in queens* and upon entering we saw guy fieri's face stenciled on the wall w/ "guy was here - 10/10." me and gf were sad that we didn't happen to end up there the day it was being filmed.

the owner talked to us about it - apparently he's pretty true to his tv character. prob not gonna air til like january, but it should be pretty good for business. it's definitely not a 'diner, drive-in or dive'.

*tortilleria nixtamal for nyc ppl

yeah they kinda moved from diner/drive in/dive to 'just good places to eat'

I'm surprised he doesn't end up in nyc more, w/ the food network headquarters here? but I guess he is set up on the west coast. not that the food network needs more shows talking about nyc restaurants.

in my head I sorta have the food network mapped into 'blue state shows' (iron chef, bobby flay, chopped, the reality tv shows) and 'red state shows' (unwrapped, guy etc.)

looking at a supermarket sushi snack pack which proudly announces "no raw fish"

thinking of how delighted some dude in a suit probably was when a focus group said that they would buy sushi for lunch except they weren't sure about "raw fish", and he realised that without the fuss of expensive cuts of good fish and proper curing he could now sell two tablespoons of white rice, a tiny sliver of seaweed, three 0.6cm squares of red pepper, three 0.6cm squares of cucumber, and a teaspoon of tinned tuna + mayo for £3 a go

this guy was in jaxon's hood a couple days ago lol.

I had no idea until right now that Tex Wasabi was Guy Fieri's fault. There's a bunch of them around Sacramento and they were always just so WTF to me. Barbecue and Sushi? NO! FUCK NO!. But now that I know it's Guy, the unholy marriage makes so much more sense. Like, Ohhhh. Of course!!
GROSS.

god it makes so much sense that this guy WENT TO COLLEGE in las vegas

They has college in las Vegas???

unlv

lol he just ate a meal w/ the singer from smash mouth

Aren't they the same person?

Dr. Gobbler and Mr. Yuck

I actually spent a couple months at UNLV for a job. it's a really shitty place and it's getting worse as nevada continues its downward spiral. student center looks like a small airplane food court and is probably the most impressive part of campus. students would probably struggle at a better state's city colleges.

if y'all missed the food network special where guy and matthew mcconaughey bro'd down and cooked dinner together and drank cocktails YOU HAVEN'T LIVED

bongos y/n

bongos on set i believe but not played iirc

dudes are like tight bros, which surprised me but then suddenly made perfect sense

actually i take that back they did play bongos

YOO are lookin' streeeamlined

guy fieri seems like a tool and always with the pinky finger dipped in w/e is being cooked, but most of the places he visits look pretty outstanding and i like how they give you the lowdown on how the food is made.
