The NYT reviewer probably tried to make a pass at Fieri and got shot down.

Guy got even by having his son beat up the critic.

Guy is not gay. But he is a first class jerk. This I know from first hand experience (so to speak). <<<the jerk part
His NY restaurant probably relied more on Guy’s name vs really good food as a business model. Either the food will need to get better or it will go buh bye.
Either way...Guy is still going to be a rich jerk. He’ll be just fine.

So Guy is fun to watch. I like triple D. Is this the reason? Just wondering. He finds good food in Omaha, Etc...

More of a question about Wells.
I'll stipulate that I've stayed WELL away from Manhattan for decades.

Guy highlited a restaurant on Broad St. in Memphis that I had walked right past many times and didn’t pay attention to. Decided to try, and was pleasantly surprised that I really loved eating there.

"Guy is not gay." But is Pete Wells? Maybe he thought that Guy, pictured here, was gay, and was rebuffed?

a panel of experts comprised of Star Jones, Donny Deutsch and Dr. Phil sounded off on Wells unrelenting review.
A panel of experts? Culinary experts .... no, a bunch of TV hacks.

Just because there is a famous name on it, doesn’t mean it’s a great place. Like he said himself, he doesn’t personally work there or manage it, he infrequently visits it. His prime interest is in his West Coast restaurants. They could be cooking and serving fried horse turds, with his special sauce, for all he knows. If the food is over rated, either the dim witted NYC residents will eventually cause the place to fail (even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while) or Mayor Bloomberg will find offensive food elements on his menu and close him down.

He may be a “D” based on what he might says on his show, but I’ve been to a few of his “Triple D” sights around TX and they were good. No issues. I’ve agreed with his take on the food. Wonder why the NYT is on his case? Is it because he is married with kids? I thought he would have a good relationship with the Lib press. I guess he is an “outsider”, being from CA.

No normal human really cares. The whole diseased NYC mess is not worth snot.
To: nickcarraway; Salamander
I think it’s just fine having people I can’t stand watching open up restaurants serving food I’d never eat in a city I truly hate to visit.
It cuts way down on the chances that I’ll find myself in distasteful circumstances.

Why would care about people I’ve never heard of having a cat fight over something I don’t give a flip for?
I spent a year in NYC one night.
I learned all I’ll ever need to know about the place.
