Guy Fieri is recovering after a brutal freak accident.

The Food Network star was rushed into emergency surgery after he missed a set of stairs, which resulted in him tearing his quad muscle.

"[I] slipped down a set of steps and one foot went forward and the other foot got caught on the threshold," Fieri told Fox News Digital in an interview published Monday. "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."

The 57-year-old explained he needed to go through with the procedure to make sure that his muscle didn't "recede."
