Guy Fieri isn’t a small guy, but he’s not morbidly obese. And given the amount of food we see him eat, you’d think he would be.
But here’s Guy’s secret: He really DOESN’T eat. You might see him put food in his mouth, and even chew it a few times, but you pretty much never see him swallow.
A streamer who calls himself Doctor Spaghetti examined a bunch of Guy’s videos, and figured out some of his tricks.
The most obvious one is camera cuts. Guy puts some food in his mouth, chews it once or twice, and then the camera cuts away.
Now sometimes, Guy will “eat” something, but then talk. In those cases, it looks like he’s packing the food into his cheeks like a squirrel . . . presumably so that he can spit it out off-camera.
Then there are times when he just flat-out fakes it. Like one scene where he allegedly takes a bite of food from chopsticks.
When Doctor Spaghetti slowed down the video, it showed that there was NO FOOD in the chopsticks to begin with.
Secondly, Guy just quickly moved the chopsticks to his mouth and then dropped them. He didn’t even open his mouth. It looked more like he was sniffing the food than eating it.
Then there’s another scene where Guy acts like he’s taking a massive bite of a loaded hot dog . . . but if you look closely, he barely lops off the tip.
Sure, Guy wouldn’t be the only foodie to fake it. But Doctor Spaghetti contrasted him with Gordon Ramsay by showing two clips where Gordon DOES swallow.
Side Note: He also pointed out that Guy always sticks his tongue out like a BABY when he’s about to shove food into it.
