Before He Ruined Food, Guy Fieri Was Shilling Mufflers On TV

Before he introduced middle America to donkey sauce, Food Network’s walking
flashback to 2001 Guy Fieri was pitching Flowmaster mufflers. Everyone knows
that you can’t have an on-air drop-top cruise for Cincinnati’s best-kept-
secret chili spot unless you tricked out your Camaro with sweet pulleys ‘n’
flows.
https://youtu.be/LZ1ZnScr45Q
Fieri feels a bit stilted here, but then again, this is before Food Network
decided to slather Guy’s kickin’ secret magic all over a good half of their
programming and bake it at 350 degrees. Either way, it’s bizarre to see Fieri
not describing this in a tricked-out barrage of mom-appropriate adjectives
guaranteed to light your tastebuds on fire.
https://youtu.be/I_l7xVuMPP4
One thing that has baffled me with these old commercials is Flowmaster’s
unwillingness to leverage Fieri’s personal style to sell more stuff. Even in
this commercial for American muscle exhausts, Fieri looks uncomfortably
professional, yet no set of cars is more associated with the kind of aging
Classic Cruise-In demographic the Washington Post hits up for advice on
millenials.
Guy’s signature boo-yah Hawaiian shirts and flashback gelled up tips proudly
proclaim, “Car Guys who still envision ‘yer lady’ as a cupholder, I am with
you, and I shall wisk you away from this Back to the Sixties Meet to a Flavor
Town for your ears.”

We actually have a Guy Fieri restaurant very close that the food delivery
services keep wanting me to order from. I think it might be one of these
newfangled restaurants that’s actually a sub menu of another restaurant.
Like George Lopez tacos.

We look to have three of them all very low rated.

Wow, that food looks unappealing, unless one has been drinking or a case of "the
muchies".

anyway.
It’s only open until nine. Isn’t that sort of early for the munchies?

Yeah, Munchies 420 in Sarasota opens at 16:20 and stays open past 2:00.

They serve similar food but I'd rather eat theirs.

I agree. I've been watching a lot of DDD reruns and made a note every

time he featured an L.A. restaurant.
Then I was sad when I looked them up to get addresses and fully half of
them were listed as "closed permanently" because Garcetti and Newsom
drove them out of business with their useless restaurant closures over
the last two years.

He featured a restaurant I'd been eating at for years in one segment!

Yeah, I got a kick out of some of the restaurants featured.

He must not be proud of that; there's no mention of any media career

involving TV or otherwise prior to Food Network 2006 on his Wikipedia
page. It is almost jarring to see him in this environment.

Oh, those don't exist in FL. The first time I ate at one was during a road
trip to TX, near Planet Houston.
