Guy Fieri injured while filming Food Network show, says quad muscle ‘exploded’
- Guy Fieri, 57, underwent emergency surgery after tearing his quad muscle when he slipped down steps filming Flavor Town Food Fight.
- On the Flavor Town Food Fight set earlier this month, Guy Fieri slipped down steps after one foot caught on a threshold, extending his leg and causing the injury.
- Fieri said, `You normally tear that muscle at your tendon or the tendon tears off the bone, but this was right in the center of the whole quad muscle and it exploded,` and his doctor claimed `in 20 years he hasn't seen a tear in the biggest, thickest part of your quad in half.`
- Fieri won't be cooking Thanksgiving this year, facing eight weeks with no weight on his leg while Hunter and Ryder Fieri and nephew Jules handle the kitchen.
- Production sources say Flavor Town Food Fight adapted with creative filming techniques as about 125 people on set pivoted, while Fieri begins rehab at his ranch in Santa Rosa, California.
