The chef jokes that the ‘Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives’ star copied her hairstyle
Anne Burrell and Guy Fieri’s similar hairstyles are not lost on the two Food Network stars. In an interview with The Daily Meal, Burrell revealed she had pin-straight hair as a kid.
So to change things up, she began wearing her hair like Farah Fawcett until it evolved into her current style. Asked about the similarity to Fieri’s hair, Burrell joked that he stole the look from her.
“I had it first,” Burrell said. “Guy Fieri copied me!”
The chef then recalled a trip to Hawaii where she rented a brightly colored convertible, which Fieri is known for driving. And she remembered thinking she could be mistaken for him.
“It was actually really funny,” Burrell shared. “I was in Hawaii, and we asked for a convertible, and of course, there was nothing left. And the only thing they could give me was a bright-yellow convertible Camaro. And I was like, ‘Oh, great — everybody is going to think Guy Fieri is in town.'”
