Guy Fieri on Viral Super Bowl Moment with Gordon Ramsay: 'Whenever We Get Together, There's a Little Jawing Back and Forth' (Exclusive)

Guy Fieri is spilling all the details behind his viral moment with Gordon Ramsay at the 2025 Super Bowl.

Two weeks after Fieri, 57, and Ramsay, 58, made waves across the internet when they hilariously mocked each other in an Instagram video filmed from a suite at the Caesars Superdome, Fieri tells PEOPLE that the moment was all good fun.

"Gordon is one of my favorite chefs in the world and such an amazing guy and does so much for so many people. I know everybody sees the tough Gordon on TV, but in honesty, he's really a very kind, gentle person, and very humble with people," says Fieri at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF) on Friday, Feb. 21.

"I mean, takes a picture with every fan, just the neatest guy," he adds.

Because they both have a mutual respect for one another, Fieri says, "Whenever we get together, there's a little jawing back and forth."

"I was giving him a hard time that he wasn't communicating. He wasn't texting me. So he left on the other side of the stadium and came over to surprise me," the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives host recalls.

Fieri tells PEOPLE that poking fun at one another has become their "little thing."

"He always walks in, he says, 'I'm not getting paid enough money. How are you getting this necklace?' So I put it on him. I do my bad British accent. He does his best effort at making a rocker sign," recalls Fieri.

"It's pretty funny where we come from," he adds. The Food Network star jokes that he and the Kitchen Nightmares host may even be related.

"His last name is Ramsay. My middle name is Ramsay. Spelled the exact same way. Most people spell Ramsay, S-E-Y. But mine is S-A-Y, like his. So we might be related," Fieri jokes.
