Right Lauds Guy Fieri 'Canceling' Garth Brooks Booking, Misses Key Point
Twitter users have praised Guy Fieri over a report that he canceled Garth Brooks' booking at one of his restaurants—despite the article being posted on a parody website.The Dunning-Kruger-Times recently published an article in which it was claimed country star Brooks had made a reservation at one of restaurateur Fieri's eateries, adding in a note that he was "bringing a camera crew and to have plenty of Bud Light ready."According to the fabricated article, Fieri personally canceled Brooks' reservation after a manager warned him that the musician "was staging some kind of gotcha moment." A quote attributed to the manager stated that Fieri "called [Brooks] directly and told him there are two things he refuses to serve: Bud Light and Him."Since April, Bud Light has drawn relentless criticism over a small branded partnership it had with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
In a video posted to Instagram on April 1, Mulvaney said that the beer brand had sent her a can with her face on it to commemorate 365 days of her living as a woman.Mulvaney's partnership with Bud Light drew condemnation from several conservative figures, including Texas Rep.
Dan Crenshaw. Amid boycott calls, musicians Kid Rock, Travis Tritt and John Rich counted themselves among those who publicly declared their aversion to Bud Light over the collaboration.Bucking the trend, singer-songwriter Brooks said that he would not be banning the beer from his bar, Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk, when it opens later this summer in Nashville's popular South Broadway District."I know this sounds corny, I want it to be the Chick-fil-A of honky-tonks," Brooks told Billboard in June.
