Guy Fieri is at it again - new Vegas restaurant menu

I had a coworker take me to a place in Everett called "Bobby's Hawaiian" or something that he said he heard was good.. saw Guy's face plastered on the window as he'd apparently visited and suggested we not eat there but he insisted.
It was so awful. Ordered a pulled pork sandwich that they claim to slow-cook.. it was clearly quickly boiled pork meat, with no flavor, on a bun you'd expect to find in a bag with a big orange 99 cent sticker on the expired food rack at Safeway.
I enjoy watching his show though.. like a test of my ability to stomach his personality.. but he's hilariously funny in a not meant to be funny kind of way. His mannerisms and catch phrases.. my friends and I love to parody him.

All of that sounds pretty decent. I would totes eat some, though it is all just overpriced and what not.
To be fair there's a lot of different sauces of different types the world over that fit that description. To be less fair that particular combo sounds like a Plain Jane Thousand Island without the ketchup.
Guy Fieri is an annoying dude and I instinctively recoil at every TV show he's on.
"Tatted-Up Turkey Burger $16
This burger is a work of art like Guy's tattoos. Smash-grilled "
Yeah OK. Us food snobs. https://twitter.com/GuyFieri/status/214872885045628929

But his target audience is willing to overpay for something they can get for cheaper at a Denny's? $17 burgers is a bit excessive. If I'm paying that much for a burger it better be exquisite.

Sashimi Won-Tacos $14
The Ultimate Asian Chicken Wraps $13
Guy-talian Fondue Dippers $13
Triple T Fries $14
The Guy-talian Deli Salad $16
The Mayor of Flavortown Burger $17
I rather spend $25 and go eat at Vegas' many gourmet all-you-can eat buffets. Or just sit and gamble for a couple hours and get my buffet comped for free.

Like I said, I'd never set foot in there. His target audience watches his show and will probably pay more than what they'd normally pay at Chili's or TGI Fridays for the chance to see a wall with "flavortown" written on in. He's playing the same game that Wolfgang Puck and even respected guys like Rick Bayless play (with likely shittier food). If people actually go in there and pay for the food, laugh at them. This dude is just riding his frosted tips and shitty silk button up flame shirt to the bank.
Yea I'd probably do the same. But most of the good buffets in Vegas actually cost like $40 at least.

I only used the $25 buffet as an example on the quality foods you'd expect from Guy's restaurant.
so I don't get it this post clearly has a to be a viral marketer right? Directly being paid to post this or directly working for Guy.
he posts no comments simply the menu and big bright picture of Guy.
There is nothing to discuss cuz the OP did not open a topic to discuss he simply made the posting and then left it to us to argue about Guy good or bad. All this is doing is giving him the market awareness in our demographic argh.
Gaffers, you have let me down with how easily you jumped into this trap.

Boy, please. This was posted because of the reaction the last thread related to a Guy Fieri restaurant opening received. Ain't nobody here going to Vegas to eat at this place that wouldn't have before.
you'll stop that talk unless you wanna end up wrapped up in a truffle infused meat blanket at the bottom of a chocolate luge floating in a puddle of your own creme fraiche
The Garlic Mafia don't play games.

To Wolfgang's credit, CUT is probably the best steakhouse on the strip.
And a night at Wicked Spoon is anywhere from $35/45 depending on the day of the week. That's well within the price range of someone who buys 3 courses at Fieri's shithole.

I wonder if he's still with his hairdresser
dsquared2?
Well yea. Wolfgang Puck has restaurants in various ranges. Same with Rick Bayless in Chicago. I was more referring to the fact that Wolfgang puck, rick bayless, and a number of other well known chefs sell frozen and prepackaged foods with their faces on it. None of these guys are businessman, they are a business, man.

I like his shows, and his recipes are awesome from the ones I've tried. I'd go to one of his spots in a heartbeat if I were in the area. Such an identifiable character.

When is the last time you went to Vegas? The good buffets are 40 to 50 bucks. Sure you can go to the Monte Carlo or Treasure Island and get their 25 buck buffets but you will definitely regret it. Much worse than what Fieri is selling.

The fuck is this post? With all that's been said on GAF about Guy Fieri, the context speaks for itself. This is merely the latest chapter in the saga that is terrible overpriced food attached to Guy Fieri's doucheface. I wanted to see if GAF thought the same. I in no way have ever supported a single thing this guy has ever done. Don't start throwing around accusations.

I don't know, while I've never eaten at Guy's, what on his menu is so special? Frys, burgers, salads, chicken wraps? Same thing with a $25 buffet except all you can eat. Hell I rather just go to In-n-Out if you really wanna know what I would choose.
