The famed&nbsp;<em>Diners, Drive-ins and Dives<\/em> host&nbsp;has been a mainstay on famous food shows over the years for good reason and his new achievement is a testament to his prowess.<\/p>\n<p>However, while the star plaque and his numerous accolades can attest to his culinary knowledge, there is nothing quite like the joy of being praised by your peers. So,&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/matthew_mcconaughey\">Matthew McConaughey<\/a><\/strong>joined Fieri on Hollywood Boulevard, where he is sharing how their relationship flourished because of their shared love for all things food.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fifteen or so years ago I was living in an air-stream, traveling across America&#8230; I lived on the road and I came across this show&nbsp;<em>Diners, Drive-Ins and Drives<\/em>, and it quickly became my favorite show,&#8221; the&nbsp;<em>Interstellar<\/em> star shares. &#8220;One day on the road I get the number of the host, Guy Fieri, and I call him up and I say, &#8216;Listen, hey man, it&#8217;s Matthew McConaughey.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-2\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"67\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"24\">\n<p>And that phone call sparked a friendship that will go down in history as one of the most surprising, yet endearing friendships. Plus, it helped the&nbsp;<em>True Detective<\/em> star expand his palate. He jokes,&nbsp;&#8220;I gotta say thank you, because the Subway sandwiches, although I like them, they were getting a bit old.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After zigzagging across the greater United States, McConaughey says he eventually found himself back in good ole&#8217; Los Angeles, at which point he finally met his &#8220;mobile concierge&#8221; in person. &#8220;This is when I met a conscientious Guy Fieri; Guy Fieri who cared about family, who cared about faith. This is when I met a guy who I could tell right away, could out-hustle a lot of people with equal talent; out-work them. This is when I met a guy who was not a food snob, and I want to give an applause to that, because that can happen, thank you for that,&#8221; the 49-year-old praises. &#8220;This is a guy I met who was also curious and was dealing with some newfound fame and wanted to talk about how best to navigate it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-4\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"58.5\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"7\">\n<p>He&nbsp;shares, &#8220;We cooked a lot of food. We ate a lot of food. We drank a lot of spirits. We talked about life, and we talked about being authentic to who you are and that&#8217;s the night that I met you, Guy Fieri.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-5\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"62\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"14\">\n<p>Matthew ends his speech by sharing that in the almost fifteen years since they became friends and moved up the ranks of show-business, Guy Fieri has &#8220;always remained exactly who he was,&#8221; which is a rare quality. He concludes, &#8220;Authenticity, we talked about it the first night we met, and in a business where you can be anyone you want to be, you&#8217;ve been you the whole time, and that ain&#8217;t easy. Congratulations, and congratulations on getting your star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, brother.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nicely said!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tune-in-6\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"33\">\n<p class=\"tune-in__text\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\">Don&#8217;t miss <em>E!
