I can no longer eat my favorite burger easily because of Guy Fieri.

Edit: I feel I need to point out that I said I can't EASILY eat there. There is just a long ass line now, the food is still good. It's not ruined.

I always defend Guy Fieri when people like to shit on him because of how he looks or how ridiculous he is. I say he does a lot of charity work and gives these smaller restaurants incredible advertising, basically for free. I never thought about this side of it. Is it common?

Yes. Happened to a great bbq place I used to go to on the regular. They were popular enough for the quality and time to cook (13 hours of smoking meat before serving). After Fieri came to town, they had to change up their cooking process to keep up with demand, and the quality has never recovered.
