Guy Fieri Has His Own "Flavortown Island" On Animal Crossing

[Ubiquitous]

There are a few things everyone is doing during quarantine: Baking
bread, watching Tiger King, and playing Animal Crossing. And when we
say everyone, we really mean _everyone_. In a recent tweet, resident
mayor of Flavortown Guy Fieri revealed he’s abandoned that title to
take up residence on Flavortown Island instead. And who can blame him,
really?

I’m here on Flavortown Island checkin’ out a joint run by
local legend, Tom Nook! Unlike the homes around here, you
won’t have to take out a loan to afford these dishes

In the tweet, Guy showed off his avatar, which he’s gotten to look
surprisingly like himself (mine looks like a Raggedy Ann doll, but what
can you do?). He wrote the tweet like it was a Diners, Drive-Ins and
Dives intro: “I’m here on Flavortown Island checkin’ out a joint run by
local legend, Tom Nook! Unlike the homes around here, you won’t have to
take out a loan to afford these dishes.”

Clearly Guy is feeling the pressure of the single stressful thing in
the game (other than those GD tarantulas): The fact that as you exist
on your idyllic island, you remain perpetually indebted to a trio of
raccoons. Don’t worry, Guy. We’re sure you’ll get your house paid off
in no time.

And since all of us are playing Animal Crossing to help pass the time
in quarantine, the news of Flavortown Island has spread like wildfire.
The entire Switch Community is pretty desperate to find a way to friend
Guy Fieri so they can pay his island a visit. It is legit the most
desirable Animal Crossing location.

We’re also all pretty much in agreement that while the rest of us slave
away to build our museums and stores, Guy is likely on his own level,
running his island in a way Tom Nook could only dream of.

Guy Fieri is on his own level no debates

The thing we all (and apparently now, Guy Fieri) love about Animal
Crossing is that it gives you so much freedom to create the world you
want to see. Some people make idyllic island paradises. My roommate and
I run Butthole Island with an iron fist, constantly looking for new and
creative ways to antagonize Dierdre, Tybalt, Peanut, and especially Tom
Nook. Potato, Potahto.

And Guy has made Flavortown into a tiny cartoon island where we can
only imagine nothing is ever under-salted or burned. It sounds like
paradise, TBH, so I’m gonna shoot my shot here: Guy Fieri, please
friend me and invite me over. I promise I won’t steal all your iron
nuggets like I do to my other friends.
