Guy Fieri says quad ‘exploded’ mid-shoot, keeping him in a wheelchair for 8 weeks

Food Network chef Guy Fieri recently underwent emergency surgery after tearing his quad muscle in half on the set of his new show, “Flavor Town Food Fight.” Fieri slipped down some steps while filming and experienced excruciating pain. Doctors rushed him into surgery to prevent his muscles from receding, and he is now in a wheelchair and using crutches. Fieri faces a long road to recovery, with doctors advising him to stay off his feet entirely for several weeks before beginning rehabilitation. Despite the setback, Fieri remains determined to get back to his usual self as soon as possible.
