Cooking with kids is not just about ingredients, recipes, and cooking. It’s about harnessing imagination, empowerment, and creativity. – Guy Fieri
I was always a kid trying to make a buck. I borrowed a dollar from my dad, went to the penny candy store, bought a dollar’s worth of candy, set up my booth, and sold candy for five cents apiece. Ate half my inventory, made $2.50, gave my dad back his dollar. – Guy Fieri
I really believe you’ve gotta put the power in the people. They’re the ones who are gonna make the experience. – Guy Fieri
I am the worst at the grocery store. It turns into three carts. It turns into, ‘Oh did you see the truffle cheese? We’ve got to get the truffle cheese!’ – Guy Fieri
We’re getting ready to sit down at the table and have Thanksgiving, and there’s people that are not with their families. There are people that are in dangerous areas, putting their lives on the line to keep our country free, and I think that’s something we should all celebrate every day. – Guy Fieri
At first, people think about vegetarian food like, ‘Here’s some veggies. Here’s some pasta.’ But there’s so much more you can do in the vegetarian and vegan world. – Guy Fieri
Did I ever think about TV stardom? I don’t watch a lot of TV. I wasn’t even aware of the phenomenon of what was going on in food television, what you started with the Food Network. – Guy Fieri
The Tom Brady sandwich would be a prosciutto with a nice Buffalo mozzarella, on a crispy baguette with a little fresh basil. Brady is classy; he’s a really cool dude. He’s got a lot of flavor. – Guy Fieri
I never try and do the same show, ever. The audience controls the dynamic of the shows. Sometimes they listen, and sometimes they ask a million questions. – Guy Fieri
I look at a basketball laying on the ground, and it makes me think of something. Popcorn ball. How ’bout a spicy popcorn ball? That is how my mind is always working. – Guy Fieri
My first words were always about food – I grew up in northern California, and when I was 10 years old, I had my own pretzel cart business. – Guy Fieri
I’m a big greens fan. I’m a big vegetable fan. I’m a big whole grains fan. And I exercise a lot. That’s how I keep this petite dancer’s figure. – Guy Fieri
Anybody that pays attention to hate really is wasting their time. I don’t subscribe. I don’t buy in. – Guy Fieri
I was raised with hippie parents, so I get down with the positive. I don’t pay attention to the negative. – Guy Fieri
The wok is one of my favorite things to work with when I’m camping. Outdoor cooking is not just about hot dogs and hamburgers. There are so many styles of food you can make. – Guy Fieri
My spiked hair goes back about 15 years ago. I had long, curly rocker hair then. The woman who cuts my hair thought I needed a new style, so I let her surprise me. I flipped when I first saw it, but I soon realized the look was really me. I’ve always been a little crazy. – Guy Fieri
I always tell my family – and they laugh about it – but someday, I will write a vegetarian book. My cousin, who’s a big vegetarian, tells me flat out, ‘You’re my favorite vegetarian chef.’ – Guy Fieri
When I was 13, I opened my own business called The Awesome Pretzel Company, and my dad helped me build a pretzel cart. – Guy Fieri
I eat healthier than you think. I eat grains and vegetables when I’m home – and I eat in courses. My wife, Lori, thinks it’s because I don’t want foods to touch. That’s not it. If you eat courses, you slow down your meal and eat less. It’s a trick I picked up in France as a kid. – Guy Fieri
