An Open Letter To Guy Fieri



Dear Guy Fieri,

Okay, I understand. You're making "casual dining" a more approachable, even more fun experience. You're helping re-position TGI Friday's as more "with-it" and "down with the kids." When one visits TGIFridays.com, they're met with a posterized face of your mug and some garage band rock blaring. You're building on the familiar equity of Friday's and giving it some "edge."


But you know what? I don't think any of us need that. We like our shitty jalapeno poppers and precooked chicken sandwiches just fine. We've never expected a proper chef to serve us foie gras and pheasant under glass, because we are eating AT THE FUCKING MALL. So don't try to think you're totally breaking down the barriers of cook and customer by calling yourself a "food dude." That sounds like someone who doesn't wash their hands.

And go wash that shit out of your hair. You're embarrassing your kids.

Fuck a horse,

Eat A Dick Joel
