Next month, Mario Batali will host Asphalt Chef, an “Iron Chef”-like a charity event, at the Texas Motor Speedway during a NASCAR weekend. And Batali will be facing off against Food Network star, TGI Friday’s shill, and legendarily gigantic tool Guy Fieri.
In the videos below, the two issue some standard gentle trash talk. Batali poses outside a TGI Fridays, while Fieri fires up his super-sized douchemobile to run over a pair of orange Crocs, Batali’s famously ugly footwear of choice. And of COURSE Fieri has a ginormous truck. The dude stole his style from Smash Mouth, a terrible band that was barely popular enough to be loathed ten years ago. Did we really expect him to drive something contemporary and sensible?

I may have read it here, but Fieri has a tattoo that reads “KULINARY GANGSTA.” What a cock.
I WILL NOT STAND IDLY BY WHILE YOU BESMIRCH SMASH MOUTH!!! THEY ARE AT LEAST THE FOURTH BEST JOKE-POP BAND OF 2002!!
Fieri is a tool, but i want his job. Traveling around the country eating all that deliciousness…
And unlike me, being allowed with in 100 yards Giada De La Renta
and the orange crocs sign “I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN…..”
Mfillmore, is that Oscar De la Renta’s sister?
Also, Fieri’s car will take you to Flavor Town with a capital F, and with horrible gas mileage.
/sing, dammit
@mfillmore – you got 100 yards? my judge made it 500!
@ Farthammer – damnit! iphone auto correct screwed me.
I’m sure that Mario Batali will fit right in at a NASCAR event in Texas.
NOT!
/Smash Mouth thinks that that joke is funny.
I hope Guy Fieri dies from mouth cancer in a car fire.
I like how running over the crocs really did nothing….
judging by the comments others have made, I’m in the minority here in saying I like Fieri..( his real name is Guy Ferry, how he changed to Fieri ( ‘fietti’ pronunciation) is beyond me..)I think his triple D show is great.Like Lidia, he doesn’t act like a pompous arrogant pr*ck. he shows he’s a family man by having his wife and kids on, and that they’re ‘real’, unlike the ENTIRE cast of Giada’s cooking show which are just a bunch of pretentious California d-bags..
he might have strange tats, ood hair ,and shades on the back of his head, but show me any TV personality from California that isn’t ‘cliche’ or isn’t a dooch, like the men wearing blue mechanic shirts,have sleeves of tats, and a comical landing strip goat-tee in the middle of the lower lip..or the women with their fat botox lips and bad nose jobs..
