Guy Fieri Talks His First Audition Tape & Tournament of Champions

On this week’s episode of Food Network Obsessed, host Jaymee Sire plays a fun game in honor of guest Guy Fieri. He joins the podcast to talk all things Tournament of Champions and who actually is in charge of the diabolical randomizer. They discuss the cutthroat, sports-style bracket challenges and how they developed the show to stand out from the rest with blind taste testing. Guy then talks about his philanthropy, raising millions of dollars this past year for the Restaurant Employee Relief Fund, and the resilience of the restaurant industry. He also tells the story of the audition tape that got him on the network and showing up to the set of Food Network Star in a yellow leather jacket and flip flops. Connect with the podcast: https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/food-network-obsessed-the-official-podcast-of-food-network Follow Food Network on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/foodnetwork Follow Jaymee on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jaymeesire Follow Guy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guyfieri/ Learn more about Tournament of Champions: https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/tournament-of-championsStart Your Free Trial of discovery+: https://www.discoveryplus.com/foodobsessed Find episode transcript here: https://food-network-obsessed.simplecast.com/episodes/guy-fieri-talks-his-first-audition-tape-tournament-of-champions Hosted on Acast.
