Overview
- In new interviews, Fieri said he is "doing better" after a November fall on the Flavor Town Food Fight set tore his quad and required immediate surgery.
- Doctors characterized the rupture as a rare central, full‑thickness tear, leading to eight weeks of no weight‑bearing and reliance on a wheelchair.
- He has progressed to crutches and careful walking and told Entertainment Tonight he expects to begin full physical therapy in a couple of weeks.
- Fieri says he intends to be mobile for his Flavortown Tailgate in Santa Clara on Feb. 8 and vows not to rush his recovery.
- The injury reshaped his holidays, with sons Hunter and Ryder and nephew Jules stepping in at home and set to join him at the tailgate.
