In a headline-grabbing moment that’s got everyone talking, celebrity chef Guy Fieri reportedly kicked Hollywood icon Robert De Niro out of one of his restaurants — and his parting words weren’t exactly subtle.
According to several sources, Fieri told the Oscar-winning actor to “go dine in some woke place,” before asking him to leave. The unexpected showdown has stirred up a frenzy online, blending celebrity drama, food culture, and the ongoing battle over “wokeness” in America.
What Went DownThe incident allegedly took place at Guy’s American Kitchen & Bar in New York City. De Niro had stopped in for dinner with a small group of friends. At first, the mood was relaxed. Staff and fellow diners were excited to see the actor, known not just for his iconic roles but also for his appreciation of fine dining.
Then things took a turn.Eyewitnesses say Guy Fieri himself showed up unexpectedly and made a beeline for De Niro’s table. What followed was a brief but tense exchange — and no one saw it coming.
“You should go dine in some woke place,” Fieri allegedly said, before asking the actor to leave.
Those nearby say De Niro was surprised but didn’t argue. He quietly left the restaurant with his group.
Political Beef?The real reason behind the alleged confrontation is still unclear, but speculation is running wild. Some believe it may be tied to politics. De Niro has long been an outspoken critic of Donald Trump and conservative policies. He recently made headlines praising Trump’s conviction in the hush money trial.Fieri hasn’t commented publicly, but some think the incident might reflect deeper cultural divides — especially since the word “woke” has become such a loaded term in recent years.
