I recently read (I think on Eater SF) that Tyler has moved from NYC to SF and is in the process of opening a restaurant. Maybe he needed some seed money, hence the Appleby's gig. As for Guy, I met him one evening at Otto where he was having dinner with his family right after he won the FN show and he seems like a very nice guy.

Michael Chiarello doesn't even use a knife to chop his garlic anymore. Is the gadget he uses from Pampered Chef????? I really like Tyler and was not thrilled to see him shilling for A. What is so appealing about Guy Fieri that he has multiple shows on FN? What's with his pants? My hair is on fire!!!!

Considering Michael Chiarello sold himself out to George Foreman, rember he lost that informercial "cook-off" to George, I think he's the biggest sell-out of the bunch.

Here is why Guy Fieri won Next Food Network Star he is friends with Michael Chiarello. If you watch Entertaining with Michael (and I been watching him for years) you would have seen Guy years prior to him ever showing his Biker Guy cooks with jewelery act. I did.
His restaurants serve regular american food

As for Tyler I still love him. He has mouths to feed same as anyone else.
If he wants to sell himself to the masses who are we to deny him.
Food snobs that is who.

Guy Fieri restaurants all seem like chain restaurants in the making (with names like Johnny Garlic's and Tex Wasabi's ) so the TGIF spokesrole is hardly a shock...

@jasonbrink........I think Tyler Florence sold out because his contributions to the menu are far beneath his talent. Steak and onion rings? That was his tv commercial!!! C'mon! If he had them serving some of his "ultimate" dishes, I'd say hooray for Tyler.

My main issue with Guy Fieri promoting TGI's is that his show "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives" focuses on the family owned diners that have been in business for generations. Just the type that wal-mart-like food outlets (like TGI's) put out of business. I actually like his show. He visits many places near my home.

Nobody with any level of respect looks like that. What a tool!! F**ing Bowling Shirt and Bleach Blond Spikey hairdo from 1996. Probably Listens to Creed! And he doesn't know how to cook either. Nothing worth watching outside of Alton Brown on Food Network anyway!! It's a channel for housewives who cook casseroles with ketchup, not people who care about food! Anyone who cares/knows about food at all can see the level of industrial/processed garbage they promote on that channel and it's gross.

I’ve never understood the whole “sellout” mentality – whether it was a Chef, Author, or Band. They are all in the business of what they do to make as much money as possible (just like you) and considering them less of a person/professional because they have become successful enough to better themselves (be it financial or otherwise) is a little hypocritical.
No one ever looked at you cross-eyed because of the career choices you made (or didn’t make) and it doesn’t make you any less of a professional. Kudos to Pepin, Child, Tyler, Guy, Rocco, Ming, Emeril, Alton and any chef that can branch out into other parts of the game – be it fast food, mass media sit-down dining, or their own line of cookware or seasonings.
While Bourdain can poo-poo Ray and Cora all he wants – I don’t think that either he or Ruhlman would turn down the opportunity to have their own brand of cookware (or in Bourdain’s case – a signature Zippo lighter).
