Guy Fieri was rushed to emergency surgery after missing a set of steps and tearing his quad muscle in half.

During an interview with Fox News Digital, the Food Network star explained that he is currently in a wheelchair and using crutches.

"[I] slipped down a set of steps and one foot went forward and the other foot got caught on the threshold. So, you know, it extended me out. I looked like I was probably doing the splits, but when my right leg compressed into itself the giveaway point and the doctor said he's never seen — you know, in 20 years — he hasn't seen a tear in the biggest, thickest part of your quad in half. Yeah, it sucked," Fieri said.

He explained that he was rushed to surgery after the fall to ensure his muscles didn't "recede."

"You normally tear that muscle at your tendon or the tendon tears off the bone, but this was right in the center of the whole quad muscle and it exploded," Fieri said.

The chef explained that he was in the middle of filming his new show, "Flavor Town Food Fight," when the fall and surgery happened.

"So, right in the middle of filming that and we've got everybody in town and all the chefs there and 125 people on set – and everybody's ready to go – and I'm in surgery. So, we figured out how to pivot through it and to have some creative filming techniques. But it's been a run, and now I'm up here at the ranch, where it's always about hiking and outdoors, and you know, beautiful," Fieri said, explaining that his injury has been a "damper."

"Oh, it's going to affect it because I'm on crutches and in a wheelchair. I mean, I have to stay off it and the whole thing. I can't walk on it for eight weeks. So it was funny. My son, Ryder, texted me from school and he said, 'Well, I guess all the training you've given me and all the cooking I've been doing while I was at school, it was going to be my time to shine.' And I said, 'I am so happy you're asking me about this versus me telling you, you have to do it,'" Fieri said.

The professional chef plans on passing the torch to his two sons, Hunter and Ryder, and his nephew Jules, for this holiday.

"So, I got my three boys, Hunter, Ryder, and Jules, and they all know how to cook. And now it's gonna be me quarterbacking from the wheelchair and telling them what to do. And we cook for about 40 people up here. So it's going to be, it's got to be an adventure," Fieri said.

Fieri is in for a long recovery. After eight weeks of no weight on his leg, he will have to go into a cast and then rehab his quad.

"Eight weeks of no weight on it, crutches and a cast and then the rehab, which to me – I want to get after it as fast as possible. He's like, 'You know as much as you want to, get back to being Guy, you're going to really have to go through [it].'"

"I haven't busted anything. I mean I broke it all as a kid. I broke my leg, broke my knee, broke my wrist, broke my sternum, my ribs, my tailbone. I mean, you know, name it, I broke it. But I got done doing that s--t. You know, I got done with that type of behavior long ago," Fieri said.

The Biden administration allegedly pressured U.S. airports to house migrants despite warnings that it could compromise safety and put travelers at risk, according to a bombshell Senate report.

The 47-page document, "Flight Risk" released by the Senate Commerce Committee, alleges the White House directed the Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to find airport facilities for shelters or processing centers for migrants.

According to the report, the administration instructed DOT and FAA to "inventory available facilities" at both federally owned and local airports and to "divert federal resources" to support migrant arrivals.

Internal emails cited in the report show concern among staff. On Oct. 6, 2023, one FAA official wrote to Massport:

"We have received a request from the WH to determine if there are available facilities on airport or surrounding areas… This is an immediate ask so please prioritize this effort."

Another DOT staffer responded candidly: "Yikes, this is definitely Fox News fodder in the making."

The committee found that at least 11 airports, including Boston Logan, Chicago O’Hare, and New York’s JFK, were asked or even pressured to house migrants inside terminals, hangars, or auxiliary buildings.

FAA officials, according to the report, recognized that such use would usually need federal approval under grant-assurance rules. 

Instead, they "ignored them most of the time when airports used their facilities to house aliens," per the report.

Massport, which operates Boston Logan, warned federal counterparts: "We are not designed or resourced to manage the intake of migrant populations… this would create a host of unintended safety and security consequences."

Despite that warning, the report says Logan hosted up to 352 migrants overnight in Terminal E, spending $779,000 on security, cleaning, and transportation.

At Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, as many as 900 migrants were sheltered in a shuttle terminal. 

Between April 2023 and February 2024, the report says police logged 329 service calls and 26 arrests, including thefts, disorderly conduct, and a death investigation. 

Chicago officials acknowledged that "asylum seekers [we]re not restricted to the staging area."

The report also highlights a 2024 security breach at JFK Airport involving Kleber Loor-Ponce, described as "an alien from Ecuador [who] ran past a security post into ‘the secure area at [JFK],’ toward two runways."

When apprehended, "Security found him, arrested him, and found a box cutter and pair of scissors on his person."

Beyond airports, DOT and its sub-agencies were allegedly directed to assist in other migrant-support operations.

The FMCSA, the report says, was told to help produce a "Know Your Rights" pamphlet for bus passengers and to coordinate with states tracking bus companies transporting migrants.

The FTA was "encouraged to remind local transit agencies that federal grants could be used to move migrants."

The committee concluded that these directives reflected "a dangerous diversion" of federal transportation resources.

"The Biden-Harris administration made airports and aviation less secure," the report states, "by allowing and encouraging aliens to shelter at U.S. airports, by allowing improperly vetted aliens to fly into and throughout the United States, and by diverting needed federal air marshals to the border," it said.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, said, "This report exposes how the Biden Department of Transportation conspired with local leaders in New York, Boston, and Chicago to house migrants in airport facilities at taxpayer expense." 

"Their decisions – to transport illegal aliens through airports without identity checks, even those with felonies — shows in new detail how Biden’s open border policy coopted government agencies to put American citizens at risk," Cruz added.
