    The thing this article hints at but doesn't mention directly is that Guy Fieri seems like he's just so genuine. I think that's his appeal. His Twitter account is full of people sharing memes that are ostensibly making fun of him, but he owns it and becomes part of the joke.

    I also love that he married over 100 gay couples in honor of his LGBTQ sister.

      I also like that he seems to be serious about highlighting good, well-made "lowbrow" food. There are plenty of shows and chefs that are all about French cuisine or whatever the newest, most fashionable fusion is, but I like seeing some good junk food sometimes.

        Very loosely related but BA's video on Chris Morocco blindly recreating Guy Fieri's Trash Can Nachos is a great time and does a pretty good job of highlighting why it's a good dish and how it surprisingly breaks but reinforces some culinary conventions.

        Totally agree. Sometimes you just want a a greasy Philly cheesesteak. I feel like he’s the food equivalent of a film scholar who spends all their time writing about schlocky B movies.

    This is great. Like Scaachi, I somehow heard about this Alsion Roman/Chrissy Tiegan drama over the weekend and couldn't help but follow it as it ran its natural course. I don't really cook, nor do I really care, but I was hooked, haha.

    I haven't read one of Scaachi's pieces in a while, I forgot how funny she is. She's on fire in this one, I think there are only a couple of sentences in the entire piece that don't have some kind of joke in them.
