Guy Fieri Reportedly Boots Robert De Niro from His Restaurant, Tells Him to “Find a Woke Spot to Eat”
In a moment that’s lighting up social media, celebrity chef Guy Fieri allegedly asked acting legend Robert De Niro to leave one of his restaurants — and his send-off wasn’t exactly diplomatic.
Sources claim Fieri told the Oscar-winner to “go eat at some woke spot” before asking him to leave the premises. The unexpected clash has sparked a wave of online buzz, merging Hollywood drama, foodie culture, and the ever-heated debate over “wokeness.”
What Allegedly Happened
The incident is said to have gone down at Guy’s American Kitchen & Bar in New York City. De Niro had reportedly arrived with a few friends for a quiet dinner. Everything seemed fine at first — fans and staff were thrilled to see the actor, well-known for both his film roles and his love of gourmet dining.
Then things escalated.
According to witnesses, Guy Fieri appeared unannounced and walked directly to De Niro’s table. What happened next was a short but intense conversation no one expected.
“You should go eat at some woke spot,” Fieri reportedly told De Niro, then requested he leave the restaurant.
Onlookers say De Niro appeared caught off guard but didn’t push back. He and his group exited the restaurant without incident.
Political Undertones?
The motives behind the alleged encounter remain unclear, though many suspect political tension may have played a role. De Niro has famously criticized Donald Trump and conservative viewpoints. Just recently, he made waves by applauding Trump’s conviction in the hush money case.
Fieri hasn’t publicly addressed the claims, but the confrontation — if true — seems to echo the cultural rifts that the term “woke” now represents for many.
Social Media Meltdown
Predictably, the internet lit up.
Some applauded Fieri’s bold stance.
Others slammed him for mixing politics with hospitality.
And a large number were simply shocked that something like this could happen in a restaurant setting.
So far, neither De Niro nor Fieri has confirmed the altercation, and without official statements, it’s hard to know where the truth lies. Still, in a time when rumors spread fast and emotions run high, the story has definitely stirred the pot.
If nothing else, it proves that in the age of internet drama, even a dinner reservation can become national news.
