SNL didn't air their parody skit on famous restaurateur and television personality Guy Fieri (whose new NYC restaurant Guy's American Bar and Grill recently got some awesomely horrible reviews and critiques) on Saturday night's episode, but the video has since leaked online, and it's definitely worth a few good laughs! The SNL skit stars wise guy Bobby Moynihan as Fieri who happens to drop by Seth Meyer's infamous "Weekend Update" to respond to the "New York Times" restaurant review. There's just one thing - Fieri hasn't even read it yet... he's "happier than butter on gravy" and ready to go "full throttle" until he actually reads Pete Wells' rather scathing piece. He then becomes only "half throttle." Continue on to watch the hilarity commence.
Fieri (Moynihan) isn't so much hurt by Wells' harsh critique - he's just upset that the "New York Times" expected so much from a donkey-sauce, flame-sleeved wearing California chef. "Fieri" exclaims, "I don't look like a high society chef, I look like I'm playing the sun in a school play... Grouping me in with regular New York restaurants is like comparing apples and fat dirt." Moynihan's one-liners are so sharp and spot-on, that veteran host Meyers can't even help but to let out a few giggles. Check it out:
Pete Wells' contemptuous review piece was pretty interesting considering every harsh sentence was posed as a question. Here's the entire review. A Fieri superfan actually responded to all of Wells' question in a hilarious post which Mstarz fans can check out here. As for Fieri's own response:
"I just thought it was ridiculous. I've read reviews. There's good and there's bad in the restaurant business ... That one went overboard ... Why [is] the kind of cooking you celebrate on television ... treated with so little respect at Guy's American Kitchen & Bar?... I've been in the restaurant business 25 years. Do we do it perfect? No. Do we strive to do it perfect? Yes ... Do I think I've fallen short? By no means. [But] do we make mistakes? Absolutely... People see me as a TV guy. I'm a real chef."
