(When asked about his trademark armband) Guy Fieri: The wristbands started out as a thing between me and Hunter [my son]. I gave Hunter a wristband and he gave me one, and I told him that I'd wear it while doing The Next Food Network Star so he could see it. That's why I wore it. I gave mine to Santos from the Food Network Kitchens on the night we wrapped. Now it's turned into a bigger thing. These high school kids at a recent demo I did were all wearing them. I'm trying to find a pink one for breast cancer.
