I'm not entirely sure what the criticism is here. It has too much cheese? The sandwich was wrapped, so of course it will be messy. The sliced meat looks .. real. Idk what the hell is under it, but the bread looks fine. Now and again I need a two cheese burger meal from McDonald's. How it looks and how it tastes aren't nearly equal.
I'd give this sandwich a go. That said, I am of the mind that celebrity brands are underwhelming at best.
I had the burger burrito. It literally just tasted like a fast food burger without the bun in a wrap. It wasn't too hateful taste-wise, but I burped shitty fast food burger for the entire day, it was bad.
I have seen much, much worse down there. When people come to town, they arenāt unhappy there. Passable foodā¦ā¦ok pricesā¦ā¦variety of music. I can name 5 worse experiences within a block of there.
You must not have heard of the colostomy bag incident I was referencing. Back during COVID when a lot of bars on Broadway still had some business allowed, a drunk patron climbed onto a table and started swinging around his colostomy bag, spraying the contents on the other customers. A friend of mine was dating the bartender on duty that day, which is where I heard the story.
I haven't been to tons of celebrity restaurants. I have been to a couple of Fieri's. Both sucked. Rick Bayless' Frontera Cocina in Orlando is really good. I've been there with the family three times over the years, and loved the food each time.
I haven't been to any Guy Fieri restaurants but I go to a lot of Celebrity Chef restaurants and they're usually very good. I've been to probably half a dozen Iron Chef's places and a handful of others from people I've seen on Food Network and I'm rarely disappointed. Granted they are not the type of places that like have their executive Chef's name and face pasted on the signage, they're just normal restaurants you need to look up the chef and find what restaurants they own. So might not be exactly what you're talking about.
That's what it seems like. They are kinda ridiculous looking burgers and nachos and stuff but it looks fun. Don't think they're angling for a Michelin star
Probably different when the celebrity is also a chef, as they have a reputation to uphold. Iām thinking more of places like margaritaville, Wahl burgers, that sort of thingĀ
Going to a local restaurant that's owned by a celebrity chef is very different than going to chain fast food restaurants that have a celebrity chefs name on it.
New York times review of his time square restaurant is the stuff of legends. A masterclass in snarky and derogatory writing. The writer did not like his experience
Looks like fake cheese and store bought lunch meat. I guess that doesn't mean it does not have flavor, but you could probably make the same thing yourself for half the price if that is all you want. That plus it is kind of gross looking.
They sell these in gas stations. They are made to be OK (not great but OK) being heated from frozen (probably) and then sit on a warmer for a couple hours. Obviously you could make it better and cheaper at home but you're not at home swinging through a gas station on a lunch break when you don't have time to do anything else.
As a gas station Chuckwagon "enjoyer" I completely understand this type of food and what it's for. It's not supposed to be good it's supposed to be acceptable for the 5 minutes you have to scarf down something to get you through the day.
I am pretty sure this is literally from a gas station. I have seen them, with the Guy Fieri Flavortown label and signage, on the warmer at a gas station.
I wasn't aware this is Gas Station food. I guess that tracks. I used to watch Guy Fieri on Food Network and I assumed this was something that would be a little bit higher quality. Thanks for the update
Bro guyās burgers on the cruise I was just on were fucking GAS. I had to stop myself from going too crazy. Having free rein of a place like that is dangerous.
I've eaten at two of Guy's restaunts. Both were dry and flavorless trash that rely on loads of fat, salt, and sugary sauces to make their food palatable.
The one time I ate at a Guy Fieri restaurant I ordered a grease and bacon burger, dizzled with grease, with a side of grease. Neither my heart nor my soul have recovered.
I went to flavortown on a work trip in Vegas, got the āTexas brisketā. It was so horrifically dry and the flavor was eh. Iāve had much better brisket cooked by my dad
Never had Flavortown, but Ive had Chicken Guy and that trash murdered my guts. The one and only time I ate it but it made my farts so hot and rancid that it woke my wife out of a dead sleep. She woke me up to ask if I shit my pants.
I could be wrong but this looks exactly like the ones that are sitting on the warmer with the other warmer stuff in gas stations.
I mean there's something to be said about Guy Fieri allowing his name to be attached to food like that, but also I think you should set your expectations about what you're getting from food like that lol
