This Twitter Thread Shows How Guy Fieri Would Look As Every Marvel Avenger
Guy Fieri, mayor of Flavortown, hair gel enthusiast, lover of diners and dive bars, and ... superhero? One Twitter thread from superfan account @Flavortown took the time to imagine how the Food Network star would look if he existed within the Marvel universe.
While the memes don't show Fieri creating his famous dishes like Tex Wasabi's Koi Fish Tacos or Texas French Toast Bananas Foster (via Food Network), the question remains: How would Fieri-as-Antman infuse flavor into his signature dishes? Would he bring the flavor on a molecular level, giving every bite a generous sprinkle of the signature Fieri sizzle that fans love? Or would a cape-clad Fieri create a Donkey Sauce slip-and-slide to stop bad guys in their tracks?
Although these Marvel universe memes appear to be far from the kitchen, we bet Fieri fans can imagine his favorite cooking tool just out of camera range, ready to take a lackluster meal from blah to bro in 15 seconds flat. We've paired these Marvel-Fieri mash-up memes with some of our favorite Fieri recipes, so you can eat like the super-chef would.
Guy Fieri as Ironman
From the pose to the facial expression to the absolute mayhem going on behind him, this is a photo that begs for excess. After all, Tony Stark is the master of extra, why not extend the honor to your meal? Channel the over the top wonderfulness by creating a tower of Fieri's infamous Trash Can Nachos that would make Stark Industries look like a camping tent (via Food Network).
Ironman's flair, panache, and zippy one-liners also pair with Fieri's Firecracker Chicken Wing recipe (shared by the Food Network) like a witty convo with your sarcastic bestie.
Guy Fieri as Hawkeye
The straightforward intensity of Marvel's Hawkeye demands a no-nonsense dish with lots of flavor. Fieri's Summer Steak Skewers (which the star showed People how to make) evokes Hawkeye's deadly arrows while offering up steak the way it should be eaten: hot, steaming, and served on a stick.
For more skewer fun, Fieri's Veggie Kebabs takes your average vegetables, seasons 'em, stabs 'em, and places the entire stack over an open flame. What's not to love (via Food Network)?
Guy Fieri as Captain America
What's more American than a good old-fashioned burger? According to Porthole Cruise and Travel, Fieri's Straight-Up with a Pig Patty Burger will take almost 3 hours to make, but we think it's worth it. The recipe combines three of Fieri's signature ingredients: Donkey Sauce, Super Melty Cheese, and bacon — lots of bacon.
Unfamiliar with Donkey Sauce? The savory condiment gets it's unique flavor from a dash of Worcestershire sauce, garlic, mayo, and mustard (don't tell anyone, but Fieri informed Thrillist it's basically just aioli). Super Melty Cheese Sauce is one of those recipes that is exactly what it says: super melty. The trick is to take your time as your prepare the sauce; remember, good food comes to those who wait.
Guy Fieri as Hulk
It might surprise some Fieri fans to know that the star really loves juicing. According to MyRecipes, he even keeps a juicer in the trunk of his legendary Camaro when he films "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives."
Guys Rockin' Smoothie recipe already calls for a quarter of a cup of kale, so why not make it even greener by upping the amount or adding spinach, green apple, or green grapes to the mix (via Food Network)? You could also go the other way and make Guy's Caliente Margarita, which Kelly and Ryan share gets a spicy, Hulk-worthy green kick from to the addition of jalapeños.
Guy Fieri as Antman
Antman may be small, but he's mighty — just like what is undoubtedly the best part of any meal: appetizers. For hors d'oeuvre heaven, try apps like Fieri's Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp with Chipotle Barbecue Sauce, Beer-Battered Mushrooms with Garlic Aioli, Pigs in Spicy Blankets, or Awesome Pretzel Chicken Tenders with Spicy Honey Dijon Sauce (via Food Network).
Better yet, make a meal consisting of all your favorite Fieri appetizers, pile your plate high, and binge-watch triple-D.
Guy Fieri as Thor
Thor fears nothing in the universe — even carbs. After all, lifting that hammer all day must be a pretty serious work out. Guy's secret garlic bread ingredient brings so much flavor, we think even Thor would set aside his weapon to get a taste. Serve alongside a pasta dish with superhero-levels of flavor, like Fieri's Carbonara Classica from the Food Network, or (if you're not as big a carb fan as the God of Thunder) any other food you care to noodle. Whatever you choose, just don't forget the sauce.
Guy Fieri as Spiderman
You know a classic when you see one: a little black dress, a cashmere cardigan, a red Corvette, Spiderman.
While Peter Parker doesn't have loads of money like Tony Stark or the beefy machismo of Thor, he has something the other heroes don't: the type of earnestness and optimism that only a teen could offer. And what's more earnest and optimistic than comfort food? Fieri's Bacon Mac and Cheese Burger merges two favorites into one, teen-approved combo (via Today).
Not feeling the gut-busting combination of pasta, cheese, and a burger? Venture into safer territory with these grownup versions of your favorite childhood foods. You may like to reminisce about your teenage years, but we don't blame you if you would prefer not to eat like one.
