The star of the Food Networks Diners, Drive-ins and Dives took a fine toasting in the Minneapolis-St. Pauls City Pages story Guy Fieri in Diners, Drive-Ins, and Disasters. Featuring excoriating commentary from Fieris ex-producer, David Page, the story levels a number of fairly scandalous (and mostly amusing) charges against Mr. Fieri, including:

Fieri was weirded out by gay people, and show researchers were required to note any indications of homosexuality detected during pre-interviews, says Page and another ex-producer for the show.

Fieri has roaming eyes and a dirty mind: You have to protect Guy from all of his poop jokes, Page reports in the City Pages story. Anytime any woman mentioned cream, Guy went into a sexual riff. When cutting the show, you had to tell the editors to watch Guys eye line, because its always on breasts.

After stardom went to Fieris head, he took to hanging out with a posse called the Garlic Mafia, with friends like Gorilla, Kleetus, and Dirty P. Fieris manager called himself the consigliore, and Fieri regarded himself as the mob boss.

Fieri wears sunglasses indoors.

Curious if these charges were accurate, CHOW.com made contact with a former production worker on the Food Network show, a woman who asked to be called Jane due to the tenets of the nondisclosure agreement she signed as she left the show. Basically, everything in that City Pages article was true about both of them. Fieri had ridiculous requests at all hours of the day. He knew most of us lived in Central Time, but he would regularly make requests after 11 p.m. He would have shoots rescheduled around getting his hair done. He refused to fly on certain airlines. I dont think anyone actually liked him.

Jane says the whole experience left such a bad taste in her mouth that she exited television production altogether.

Maybe if shed just given herself a nickname like Dirty J she could have stuck it out.
