Guy Fieri Stencil Gets Obama's Signature
With his larger-than-life personality and an uncanny knack for crafting catchphrases, Guy Fieri has taken the world by storm, one diner, drive-in, or dive at a time. This week, the food-loving bro's popularity reached new heights when President Obama signed his name next to a stencil of Fieri's face when he visited The Sink in Boulder, Colo.
Fieri is known for leaving his mark on the restaurants featured on "Triple D" in the form of a stenciled painting of his face with message that reads "Guy Ate Here." Amazingly enough, this isn't the first time Fieri has been associated with the White House; in fact, he was invited to cook a meal for a group of White House staffers in 2010.
That said, the bleach-blonde TV star is not one to shy away from publicity; whether the news is flattering or controversial, Fieri is very often making headlines. Check out some highlights of some of the most outrageous and noteworthy Fieri news, to date.

Yahoo! Thinks Guy Fieri Is Mario Batali
Mario Batali has been trending on the news thanks to some uncensored comments at Time magazine's Person of the Year debate. But it seems Batali's Halloween costume was too convincing; Yahoo! has been all over the Batali piece, but they posted a photo of Guy Fieri instead.
