Surprising Facts About Guy Fieri: Revealing His Real Name, Love for Peacocks and More!

He Won the Barbecue Hall of Fame in 2011

Since he was 12 years old, Guy dreamt of competing at the American Royal, a competition that most chefs regard as the Super Bowl of BBQ. In preparation, he enrolled at a barbecue camp taught by Lola Rice, a former winner. While at this camp, he met an architect, a pharmacist, a truck driver, and a computer tech expert.

This group of people who didn’t have much in common—except a love for smoky meat—formed the Motley Que and eventually won the American Royal in 2011. This award got Guy inducted into the Barbecue Hall of Fame. Yes, it’s real, and it exists!
