Things To Know About Guy Fieri

The frosted-tip chef plans to open a restaurant smack dab in Times Square, the most fitting place for tourists and Fieri alike.

He Really Likes Cars

Apparently the celebrity chef is a Chevy guy (according to the New York Post), and he was even picked to pace the Indy500 race in 2012.

His Lamborghini was Stolen… by a Teenager

Fieri's Lamborghini, stolen in 2008, was finally found in a storage unit owned by a 17-year-old. The 17-year-old (who pleaded not guilty, natch), is accused of car theft by rappelling down through the ceiling of the dealership, and also attempted manslaughter. Busy guy.

He Has a Jewelry Line

Of course Fieri would have a jewelry line involving star-studded dog tags, and of course he would describe the line with the word "kewl."

 

He May Be Homophobic? Or Just a Nice Guy Caught in a Scandal

In the first scandal with Fieri, City Pages' feature with ex-producer David Page alleged that not only is Fieri homophobic and immature, but that he also actively required knowledge of subjects' sexual identity prior to interview.

He Has 120 Pairs of Sunglasses

According to a recent New York Post article, Guy Fieri owns 120 pairs of sunglasses, which he wears at all times, sans sunglass cord. How did he come about wearing them on the back of his head? "I could fold them in my shirt, but if I go to stir something in the kitchen, then whoop, where did they go? And I don't want to wear them on top of my hair — then they get [hair] wax on them — so one day I just put them on the back of my head. There was no real design about how it all came about."
