The program focuses on small, independent eateries featuring traditional American - style, sometimes Canadian, cuisine ( such as barbecue, smoked meat, hamburgers, deep - fried food, pizza, steak, and bacon - and - egg breakfast ), regional styles, or ethnic specialties. Most often, the chosen restaurants use fresh ingredients, home - style recipes, and gourmet culinary approaches to what is usually not considered gourmet food. The host interacts with both the customers, to get their opinion on the food, and with the kitchen staff, who demonstrate how to prepare one or more of the dishes. Guest appearances The show has had various stars appear in the kitchen alongside Guy Fieri, including fellow chefs Robert Irvine, Andrew Zimmern, Michael Symon, Emeril Lagasse, and Geoffrey Zakarian, as well as celebrities such as Matthew McConaughey, Gene Hackman, Rosie O'Donnell, Joe Theismann, Kid Rock, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Clint Bowyer, Gene Simmons of KISS and Steve Harwell from Smash Mouth. Lawsuit In May 2011, Page Productions, the original producers of the show filed a lawsuit against Food Network. The lawsuit alleges that the network failed to pay required production costs, and failed to make the show 's host, Guy Fieri, available for taping. The producer also alleges that Guy Fieri harassed crewmembers and `` raided their fridges ''. A week after Food Network counter-sued the producer, a settlement was reached in August 2011, allowing the 12th season of the show to resume, with a new production company, Citizen Pictures.
