"The "Flavortown" foodie admitted that on the now-canceled "Late Late Show with James Corden" (via YouTube) back in 2022, when he was asked whether he faked it with plates that didn't pass the taste bud test. This is because he doesn't want to promote a place with food he doesn't like, so instead of saying that on TV, he just doesn't show it."
"Those big bites viewers see him take on the show aren't his first impression of the dish. While he does taste the food for the first time when he is on location and filming, Fieri shared that he actually takes what he calls a "princess bite" or a tiny bite so he can take in the flavor of the food. "I've got to taste the food and come up with something to say about it and keep the show rolling," Fieri explained."
Guy Fieri omits segments where he dislikes the food, choosing not to air those visits rather than promote places he finds subpar. He revealed that on-location tastings begin with a tiny "princess bite" to capture the dish's flavor before delivering commentary. Fieri sometimes prolongs reactions, chewing slowly and drawing out responses to make eager cooks sweat. He avoids certain foods, including eggs, and dislikes trendy truffle oil. Fieri balances honest taste assessment with showmanship to keep episodes engaging while protecting his own food standards.
