Some of us find grotesque and obnoxious food-related rich guy Guy Fieri unbearable to watch on the tee-vee, but Conan O'Brien discovered something very interesting last night: playing footage of Fieri backward has the opposite effect! As grating as Fieri is in normal footage, he's conversely tolerable when he's moving backward. Oh, the fun things you can do with video machines!

Guy Fieri's such a busy guy these days—between riffing on poop and teaching Cheech Marin how to cook, it's a wonder he's had any time to design an entire jewelry line at all! And yet, somehow, inexplicably, he has, and it's probably best to just let him explain it to you himself: more ›

You know the show—the new one on Food Network that "stars" "celebrities" like Cheech Marin and Coolio cooking for charity and, uh, one last desperate grab at the spotlight? Right! Well, now that New Year's Day is coming up, it's time for the first televised promos to roll out, like this one, in which we catch some memorable glimpses of the "chefs" in action, and get to hear some sage kitchen advice from Ray and Fieri: "SPRINKLE CHEESE ON TOP! PUT HOT SAUCE NEXT TO IT!" Which is exactly what Escoffier recommends in his guide to the fine art of cookery. more ›

Earlier this year, our skin crawled in trepidation at the thought of Rachael Ray and Guy Fieri colliding on the same screen, for a new show called Annoying Orange People Eating! Rachael vs Guy: Celebrity Smackdown. But the show must go on, and now, it's almost here, with a slightly different name: Rachael vs Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off (was "smackdown" too aggro for Food Network?), and a full lineup of D-list "celebrities." more ›

Anthony Bourdain, who's never been shy about his distaste toward everything from Alice Waters to Olive Garden, ripped into pretty much every Food Network star in a recent interview with TV Guide. more ›

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, the self-explanatory Food Network show hosted by spike-haired brochef Guy Fieri, is at the center of an ugly lawsuit, and the allegations are nothing short of profane. more ›

Why is this happening? First, Alton Brown peaces out, then the Food Network decides to rub salt in the wound with the announcement of its latest juggernaut, which is poised to become the most catchphrase-packed show in television history. It's called Guy vs. Rachael's Celebrity Smackdown, and if that name alone doesn't tell you everything need to know, the video explains it more. more ›

The aroma of cooking meat wafted as far as the BQE from the NYC Wine and Food Festival's Rachael Ray Burger Bash last night. Throngs of meat-lovers descended upon the Tobacco Warehouse to sample 18 burgers and vote (by text message) for their favorite. more ›
