Excellent and well-earned. I've never understood why this obnoxious clown Guy became the darling of Food Network.

Guy responds. Quote: Today on the Today show, Fieri defended himself in an interview with Savannah Guthrie. The Food Network star's reaction to the piece? "I thought it was ridiculous. I mean, I've read reviews —- there's good and there's bad in the restaurant business, but that to me went so overboard, it really seemed like there was another agenda."
He went on to say, "The tone, the sarcasm, the question style." Fieri didn't think it was fair to visit the restaurant four times in two months. "That's tough times, especially this size of a restaurant." http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/peop ... k/1706207/

After the third visit I'd say the guy was just looking for more ammunition.

Which is why I'm saying that four trips is excessive. No way that he didn't know what to expect on that fourth visit.

I took Guy's complaint to be that because the restaurant was only opened for 2 months at the time, problems should be expected and the 4 visits should have been spread out to when the restaurant had been opened 6+ months. It's stupid of Guy and it should be good from day one but it's my guess what he means.

Folks in the restaurant business will tell you to give a restaurant a couple of months of operation before giving them a try. Not that they shouldn't be 100% from day one... But if you want a good representation of their dining experience, you should wait a while so that they can get the kinks out.
Not sure what the SOP is with critics. But as a patron, you should either steer clear or expect some hickups from a brand new restaurant.

I think if you're a nationally renowned TV celebrity chef who opens up a giant-ass restaurant in Times fucking Square, a review after two months seems like pretty fair game. This is neither Ma's Diner on one hand nor Chef Esoterica's culinary experiment on the other. It's a big commercial enterprise.
