How to REALLY Tell If Guy Fieri Is Enjoying The Food He Is Eating On Television
On today's Pardon My Take, Mr. Cat and Mr. Commenter welcomed on the one and only Guy Fieri. The restaurateur, author, and an Emmy Award winning television presenter joined the show to discuss his 9 AM food delivery to the Barstool Office on Friday morning, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Flavortown, the debut of Tournament of Champions, and much more. The fellas also got into it regarding how to tell whether or not Fieri *actually* enjoys the food he is eating on television. There's no way he truly enjoys every single dish he puts in his mouth, right? Take a look:
Mr. Commenter: You've definitely brought like a relentless positive energy to food television, which is something that it was missing, I think. You know, sometimes it gets like a little stuffy, gets a little full of itself, especially in, like, the food criticism realm. And so I think people naturally gravitated towards that. And my favorite part of any Triple D episode, is right after you take the bite, figuring out which level Guy Fieri is going to react. Excuse me, Guy Fieri, because there are three levels, right? In my opinion.
Guy Fieri: I love these theories.
Mr. Cat: I have one, too, that I will drop after PFT's.
Mr. Commenter: The first: When you think something's good, not great, you take the bite and you look at the person, you nod and you're like, that's out of bounds, man. As you're chewing, right? The second one is you take a bite and then you just put your hands on the table like you're LeBron coming out of the game and needing a quick breath. Like, you just start breathing as you're thinking about it and you just kind of get lost in your brain, right? And then the ultimate Guy Fieri compliment is when you take a bite and then you tell the camera, "I'm going to need a minute to process this." And then you go in for bite two, as the camera is banning out from you. Would you say that's a fair assessment of like the three levels of how much you like something?
Guy Fieri: Well, I think that your guy impersonations are spot on. And matter of fact, if you could cover a couple of shows next Thursday for me, it would really help open my schedule up. There are differences of exclamation and exuberance and contemplation. First and foremost, if I don't like it, you don't see it.
Mr. Cat: Oh, so here's my theory. You aren't harsh on people, which I actually love, because it's supposed to be fun. But I think your tell is when you say something's the real deal, you're just literally saying it's real, and that's the baseline of niceness. So, it's probably not great, but it's real. It's tangible, you are touching it, it's the real deal. That's the , "OK, I don't really like this, but I'm going to say something nice to you."
Guy Fieri: I've never been psychoanalyzed on Triple D, I've never had it broken down like this. Hey guys, I'll tell you what I'm going to do is I'm going to start paying better attention to this because I don't know what the hell you're talking about. It's asked all the time. The first thing I tell people is one, I won't bullshit you, if I don't like it, I don't like it.

These types of nuggets are what makes PMT the best. The behind the scenes look into one of the most popular food shows out there are revealed through the Big J journalism questions asked by Mr. Cat and Mr. Commenter. Could these theories presented by the two of them be true? Potentially. One thing is for sure, though. Guy Fieri approves of PFT's impersonations of him. That seal of approval is very, very important.
