Guy Fieri is recovering at home after a sudden on-set accident led to an unexpected surgery and a major change in his Thanksgiving plans. The Food Network star slipped while filming his new show, resulting in a rare quadriceps injury that required immediate medical attention. Production continued with adjustments while he began his recovery.
Now resting at his ranch in Northern California, Guy is using a wheelchair and crutches and won’t be able to put weight on his leg for several weeks. Because of this, his sons Hunter and Ryder, along with their cousin Jules, took over Thanksgiving cooking duties for the family’s large gathering, while Guy guided the process from his wheelchair.
The injury came just two months after a joyful family milestone — Hunter’s wedding to Tara at the family’s ranch. The multi-day celebration featured heartfelt vows, personal details, stylish fashion, and the enthusiastic support of friends, family, and fellow celebrities. Photos from the event quickly spread online, prompting a mix of warm congratulations and playful fan commentary.
Despite his current mobility challenges, Guy remains upbeat and grateful. He has expressed pride in his sons, admiration for his daughter-in-law, and optimism about returning to full strength. Surrounded by family and celebrating recent happy moments, the beloved TV personality is focusing on healing and enjoying time with loved ones.
