Everything he creates is like an overblown caricature of an actual cool custom.

Stuck in the 90s, overhyped, banking on past successes. Yup it tracks.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Fieri owned a Foose car.

And I can picture Foose eating donkey sauce at Johnny Garlics.

Absolutely true. Foose is more like Emeril.

I don’t think I see one, but this picture is a few years old.

Hey, you know what? I’ll agree with this. But probably not in the way you intended.

They both built franchises and empires on their on flavor-town twists on other people’s ideas. And did a pretty damn successful job of it.

They both do what they love, and promote others up. They both celebrate the joy of making something that makes people happy.

That’s... well, that’s pretty good, in my book.

I might be biased. I’ve actually met Fieri and he exudes the same aura of douchiness that you expect from the way he presents on TV.

That’s fair; I’ve never met him. Or Foose. And I also, despite my own experience and credentials, choose to celebrate people who make other people happy.

FWIW, I never really liked Foose’s stuff. But I do appreciate what he’s able to do. And both of them raise real money for great causes.

No, that's Richard Rawlings.

This is what I immediately thought of when I saw this hot take; followed by, I actually think Guy Fieri is the Guy Fieri of car culture.

So, Guy Fieri is the Chip Foose of food?
