So as a treat, and because I have people in my family who would jump at the chance of going if Guy Fieri came to their cities, I went to the Guy Fieri Roadshow at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center Sunday night. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that photographs were allowed (good thing I’d decided to sneak my camera in anyway). I took more pictures than probably anyone who wasn’t there would be interested in. Given that it’s almost midnight when I’m posting this and I’m getting up in the morning to drive six hours, I didn’t try to label all of the photos in the Flickr folder. (If you really want to see all of them, here they are in a slideshow format.)

Here are a few highlights:

Hayden “Woody” Wood, master mixologist, gives a little “flair” as the warm-up act.

It was really hard to get a picture of Guy behind the stove. I couldn’t even begin to tell you what he cooked, because that wasn’t really the point of this show.

Guy took several volunteers from the audience to go up on stage and sing something for him. This little girl wailed on a Taylor Swift song, and as the “winner” of the Guido Karaoke competition, Guy took the sunglasses off his head and gave them to her.

This is why I have no idea what was cooked (by the sous chefs and Anne Burrell)—because Guy spent most of his time pacing/dancing/gesticulating across the front of the stage telling absolutely hilarious stories.
