Guy Fieri's New Restaurant Is A Gourmet Wonderland

Thanks to Applebee's, Dave and Buster's, Dallas BBQ, Chevys, Red Lobster and Olive Garden, Times Square is the culinary capital of New York City and now it's the culinary capital of the world. Times Square can thank Guy Fieri (born name: Guy Ferry, which sounds like the name of John Travolta's boys, booze and blow jobs cruise) for making that happen, because that's where he opened his three-story, 500-seat gourmet emporium called Guy's American Kitchen & Bar. The New York Times reviewed Guy's latest mess of an eating place and the review is full of so much gold that I just want to slather it with donkey sauce, top it with SMC and eat it all. Let's start with the ingenious names for some of the gourmet dingles on Guy's menu:

- Guy’s Pat LaFrieda custom blend, all-natural Creekstone Farm Black Angus beef patty, LTOP (lettuce, tomato, onion + pickle), SMC (super-melty-cheese) and a slathering of Donkey Sauce on garlic-buttered brioche

- Awesome Pretzel Chicken Tenders

- Ain’t No Thing Butta Chicken Wing

- Guy-talian Nachos

The Times' Peter Wells then went off and created a masterpiece of a review. Guy's food is just like him, it's gross, full of lard and putting your mouth on it will give you a never-ending case of the wet shits. That's what it did to Peter and he let it all out in his review. Here's just a few of his greatest hits:

- Hey, did you try that blue drink, the one that glows like nuclear waste? The watermelon margarita? Any idea why it tastes like some combination of radiator fluid and formaldehyde?

- When you hung that sign by the entrance that says, WELCOME TO FLAVOR TOWN!, were you just messing with our heads?

- What accounts for the vast difference between the Donkey Sauce recipe you’ve published and the Donkey Sauce in your restaurant? Why has the hearty, rustic appeal of roasted-garlic mayonnaise been replaced by something that tastes like Miracle Whip with minced raw garlic? And when we hear the words Donkey Sauce, which part of the donkey are we supposed to think about?

- Is the entire restaurant a very expensive piece of conceptual art? Is the shapeless, structureless baked alaska that droops and slumps and collapses while you eat it, or don’t eat it, supposed to be a representation in sugar and eggs of the experience of going insane?

- Why did the toasted marshmallow taste like fish?

ATMOSPHERE 500 seats, three levels, three bars, one chaotic mess.

SERVICE The well-meaning staff seems to realize that this is not a real restaurant.

SOUND LEVEL Rawk and roll, but at moderate volumes.

Guy's restaurant should be shut down and he should be prosecuted to the furthest extent of the law for making toasted marshmallows taste like fish. That's like a dream wrapped in a nightmare. That sounds like something you'd find on the floor of a strip club in Thailand after the strippers ran out of ping pong balls. And donkey sauce? Sauce that goes on food shouldn't make me think of Fear Factor.

Guy's restaurant sounds the kind of place where you'd pull a bleached hair out of your food and wonder if it came from the nutsack on top of his neck or the nutsack on his crotch. As temping as that sounds, I'll pass. I'll wait until Sandra Lee opens her own restaurant. It'll be a giant tablescape and the only thing she'll serve will be an economy-sized bottle of vodka and melted Otter Pops and Lemon Fresh Clorox for mixers.

I just recently went to Bobby's Burger Palace. It was OK but not as good as BGR or Kraze, the other burger joints around here. It is better than 5 Guys though, I'll give him that.
-----------------------------------------------

honey there is one by me in Paramus honey and ya know the burger is great honey but ya know, the potato chips on the burger, honey I can do that at home and honey the fries ain't all dat, and honey don't knock 5 Guys down just to give Bobby Gay a boost honey, it's really unladylike, not afraid to say that to your face because everyone is thinking it, everyone, honey.

HAHAHAHAHA! They had this on NY1 this morning and Pat Kiernan was quite amused.

I like my own cooking best. We can't afford to eat out anyway, but on the rare occasions we do (when MIL treats or something), we all come home and drink gallons of water because the food is too salty and Mr. Hekki invariably goes to CVS for Tums.

The exception is Japanese food or other exotic ethnic stuff I can't make myself. Italian or French is a waste because I can do that in my own damn kitchen. And some desserts like macarons, because I can't be bothered with that ether.

oy vey everyone as a restaurant these days. FTV is crap. They don't have 'real' chefs on anymore. Just a bunch of fly by nights who throw together medicore chow.

I had the best meal of my life at Le Bernadin. Mr. Ripert is a GENIUS.

From when I understand, Rick Bayless is there a lot and has very high standards for his places and everything coming out of his kitchens.

My dumb ass brother got a job at one of his places quite a few years ago either during or right after chef school. Dumb ass brother walked out after a few days because Rick himself told him what he was doing wasn't up to snuff. Talk about squandering an opportunity. Did I mention he's a dumb ass?

Who the hell would think "Donkey Sauce" is a good name for any type of food? Really, unless it actually goes on a donkey, it's a crappy name.

Are Million Dollar Birthday Fries on the menu, too? Because everything sounds like it's taken from the episode of The Simpson's when Moe changed the bar to Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag.

Food Network is a joke. They have all these "cooks" on now, and they don't have the slightest idea what they're doing (Guy, Rachel, Sandra, and Pioneer Woman--yes that's her name), yet they're the most popular. I do like Alton Brown. His show is part science experiment part cooking show. But they don't really play his show anymore. God forbid they not play 8 hour marathons of Cupcake Wars.

Anybody watching The Next Iron Chef on Sundays? I am. They really picked a stale piece of white bread last season and they know they have to pick a woman, which they have never done. I like the 3 ladies left (the lesbian runner up from last season especially who is too sweet and fragile to be on this show) but I think roly-poly Alex Guanersherrioorwhatever is going to win. Watching her talk about her food like its people is too much, it's just food bitch.

^Yasssss! I can't stand the faux modest Alex Guaraschelli. I mean, she's chewing through the set, let alone the food. You're good -- we know this: you're Zakarian's sous chef. But come on, girl, grown up.

I like the SF pastry chef (argh, forgot her name!) who was runner up, but I really like Amanda Freitag for the win.

Expensive "celebrity" restaurants are really only for foodies. I have been to a few in Chicago, and the only one that lived up to my expectations was the one owned by Rick Bayless. I think he counts as a celebrity. He seems like a nice guy. I saw him once in Xoco actually cooking the food and schmoozing next door the other time I was in Frontera.

Speaking of delivery, I all too often feel like Miranda from SATC (shut it; I was about 25 when it was hot), and the scene where she orders Chinese and they guy on the phone knows her entire order. (those who know me here, shut your face re: comparisons)

Also: who's seen the Key & Peele where the fat guy orders a ton a food and pretends he's with a bunch of people. MY LIFE.

We have an unspoken rule: I tip 35%, and you keep you mouth shut.

My thoughts exactly. GF is an overweight 40 year old man-boy who acts and dresses like he's 12 years old.
