But a recent accident showed that even the Mayor of Flavortown can be forced to slow way down. While filming a new Food Network show, Fieri suffered a serious injury that sent him into emergency surgery and a long recovery. Fieri was stepping out of his production trailer on set when things went wrong. Fieri couldn’t cook like he usually does, so he had to sit back and direct things from his wheelchair. Outside of television, Fieri is getting ready for his annual Guy’s Flavortown Tailgate at Super Bowl LX in February.
