Some people really need to chill the fuck out. I think the people receiving the food probably did not care he was using a smoker and meat on his own dime to feed them. Internet culture just needs to be outraged at something right?

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

Should they not hand out bottled water for flood victims?

 

[hydruxo]

Okay? He's trying to help them. I don't see any problem. Guy Fieri always seemed like a good guy tbh.

 

[ronaldthump]

this is stupid. Cooking requires fire anyhow.

good on him for feeding the people

 

[Master Yoshi]

He probably took a vehicle to get there, too. What a monster.

 

[Omadahl]

I don't like his tv personality but come on. He's feeding people in need of a meal. Props where props are due.

 

[dankir]

Will it's not like the smoke situation will get worse. At least he's feeding people.

 

[Like the hat?]

He's a douchebag piece of shit opportunist.

 

[Calion]

Still haven't seen a good reason why people don't like this guy.

 

[Ferrio]

He's a douchebag piece of shit opportunist.

Opportunist?

 

[Davidion]

This seems like a nice gestu...

He's a douchebag piece of shit opportunist.

...uh...well

 

[mAcOdIn]

He's a douchebag piece of shit opportunist.

Even if that were true, and for all I know it could be, uh, so what? Are we going to implement a charitable purity test now and start refusing aid or donations from people who don't meet our lofty standards of selflessness?

 

[Darkman M]

Really?? I mean we are really suppose to be offended about this? Strange times.

 

[dsp]

This seems like a nice gestu...



...uh...well

There's at least one in every thread. We could have a thread about Mr. Rogers and someone would call him a piece of shit.

Good on Fieri for helping out.

 

[danthefan]

This is the dumbest shit I've seen lately, which is saying something. You generally need heat to cook meat. Dumb shits on twitter getting outraged over nonsense as usual. Good on Fieri.

A-fucking-men. I could not believe the absolute shit I was reading in the OP.

You absolute monster, how dare you try to feed these people!

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Smoked meats. Sounds like comfort food to me.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I bet his car even has a combustible engine in it!

 

[Brewster123]

The smoke from that smoker is probably just a drop in the bucket at this point. Plus, I don't think it would be possible to cook that much food without a smoker... Really nice gesture by him.

 

[Raven117]

Even if that were true, and for all I know it could be, uh, so what? Are we going to implement a charitable purity test now and start refusing aid or donations from people who don't meet our lofty standards of selflessness?

Without keyboard heroes, where would we be? Truly the white knights of our times to remind us that people are not perfect. Perfection is only reserved for the perfect posts, the perfect blend of cynicism and outrage to justify sitting behind a computer screen and justify lazy fearful inaction to actually fight for a better world.

 

[SexyFish]

He's a douchebag piece of shit opportunist.

...the fuck.

Who the fuck could be mad at this? Seriously?

 

[roflwaffles]

Someone of you people are just purposely looking for something to be mad about.

This should not be one of them.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

[D4Danger]

He's a douchebag piece of shit opportunist.

it makes me miserable that people like you exist online

how spiteful and ignorant can you honestly be

 

[Enilced2]

Good on Guy for helping out. And chances are he's using a smoker because he has a giant trailer smoker that can be used to feed mass numbers of people.

He's a douchebag piece of shit opportunist.

Good job on the drive by shit post

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

You shouldn't say that about him, you don't even know him: I am sure he is such a humble, selfless, generous guy and has done so much more for humanity in one day than Guy Fieri has done in a year!

 

[Westbahnhof]

He's a douchebag piece of shit opportunist.

Do you know something we don't?
Because right now you're coming across as ridiculously hateful.

 

[Davidion]

There's at least one in every thread. We could have a thread about Mr. Rogers and someone would call him a piece of shit.

Good on Fieri for helping out.

I'll note that the article highlights a bit of a vacuum around his presence for the rest of the people helping to prep food, but I feel like this is something that organizers can sort out.

But yeah, some people just really dislike the guy I suppose. I say this as someone who takes some stabs at flavortown here and there.

 

[DerangedHermit]

Funny seeing this thread since i was just reading an article titled "Guy Fieri Spent Yesterday Making Nonstop BBQ for California Fire Victims and First Responders"

Man, what an asshole.

 

[Hickbilly Deluxe]

He's a douchebag piece of shit opportunist.

Can I borrow some of your edge? My lawn could use a trimming.

 

[Skellig Gra]

He's a douchebag piece of shit opportunist.

It’s time to get off GAF for the day my man

 

[TheAuldTriangle]

When people talk about "outrage culture", this is it right here.

I'm not familiar with the dudes work, but props to him for feeding people who are probably desperate for a meal. Seriously. A hot meal goes a long fucking way.

 

[itwasTuesday]

He's a douchebag piece of shit opportunist.

He only feed those people for his own selfish gain? What game is this man playing?
Cause it ain't bowling.

 

[poppedcollar69]

He's a good Guy

 

[i3allistic]

He's a douchebag piece of shit opportunist.

he lived in Santa Rosa for a bit, wtf you done too help?

 

[DraconisNav]

Good intentions...nooot the best way to go about it.

Cooking? Should he have just served soup and salad?

He's a douchebag piece of shit opportunist.

WHAT IS HAPPENING

 

[jacobeid]

As ridiculous as Guy Fieri is, hard to get mad at a dude who also had to evacuate trying to help some other people out (with a smoker or otherwise).

1000%. If he had to do it again I would suggest maybe looking into another option that doesn't emit visible smoke into the air, but it's entirely possible that given the entire situation that is what he had to work with. He's doing a good thing.

He's a douchebag piece of shit opportunist.

I hope I missed the /s tag somewhere.

 

[Steeped in a Sea of Games]

Man, I'd be pretty happy to eat bbq if my house burned down. Some of these people might be eating out of cans at this point.

 

[Jencks]

Good on him. Those getting upset I will never understand.

 

[The Jazz Cabbage Master]

My opinion is this, unless any of you shitting on him are actually contributing to the effort in a means that is above and beyond his contribution then kindly sit down and shut up.

The internet would act the same if say Nickelback discovered the cure for cancer.

 

[Brazil]

Oh, fuck off, Twitter.

Good on him.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Oh my god. He's using FIRE to cook for evacuees and first responders. How insensitive. /s

 

[sinkfla87]

The internet would act the same if say Nickelback discovered the cure for cancer.

"On one hand my cancer can be cured now thanks to Nickleback, on the other hand I'd have to publicly announce that my life was saved by Chad Kroeger. Hmmm... How long would it take for my life insurance to reach my family?"

Good on Guy. Are there any other celebrities (lol) out there helping people? Dude might be cheesy as fuck but he's always seemed okay to me.

"My house was hit by a tornado. No I would not like to use your portable fan in this heatwave. How dare you."

 

[Raw64life]

Good Guy Guy

What he did for these people was righteous. Gangster. Baller, even.

 

[Neptonic]

I’m just laughing really hard at this
Good that he’s helping his community

 

[Alcotholic]

People are sensitive. I understand this situation is traumatic, but he's not making smoke for no reason. He's cooking for people who have lost their homes.

 

[Vanillalite]

The purity tests for some of this shit is just outrageous.

Good on Guy for getting out there and making a difference.

He's crazy and over the top. I get why his personality night grate on some people. He's definitely not for everyone nor is he someone that's gonna be chef at a Michelin Star restaurant.

He seems to be an overall good dude though, and he's doing good work here.

 

[besada]

Guy Fieri is a dumbfuck, but at most this is sort of awkwardly funny.

 

[PrankT]

No good deed goes unpunished.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

These are people displaced from their homes, they are tired, they are hungry.

Barbecue is delicious.
