Guy Fieri Details Gruesome Leg Injury That’s Left Him Unable To Walk For 8 Weeks

Guy Fieri is on the road to recovery. The Food Network star detailed a gruesome leg injury that’s left him unable to walk for eight weeks, telling Fox News Digital in an interview published Nov. 24 that even his doctor was taken aback at the extent of his wound. “[I] slipped down a set of steps and one foot went forward and the other foot got caught on the threshold. So, you know, it extended me out. I looked like I was probably doing the splits, but when my right leg compressed into itself the giveaway point and the doctor said he’s never seen — you know, in 20 years — he hasn’t seen a tear in the biggest, thickest part of your quad in half. Yeah, it sucked,” he said. Guy shared with the outlet that he was rushed into emergency surgery after the incident and is currently using a wheelchair and crutches while he heals – making for an unexpected challenge for not only the filming of his new series “Flavor Town Food Fight” but also preparing Thanksgiving dinner. Luckily for Guy, he said he has three dedicated sous chefs at home willing to step up. “My son, Ryder, texted me from school and he said, ‘Well, I guess all the training you’ve given me and all the cooking I’ve been doing while I was at school, it was going to be my time to shine.’ And I said, ‘I am so happy you’re asking me about this versus me telling you, you have to do it,'” Guy noted, adding, “So, I got my three boys, Hunter, Ryder and Jules, and they all know how to cook. And now it’s gonna be me quarterbacking from the wheelchair and telling them what to do. And we cook for about 40 people up here. So it’s going to be, it’s got to be an adventure.”
