Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives

I thought I would take a moment today and tell you about one of my favorite shows. Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives on the Food Network.

Guy Fieri travels around the country trying out little out of the way eateries. Usually single location mom and pop operations.

It's a great time, watching him go back in the kitchen, learning a little of the history of the place, and how some of their signature dishes are made, and then going out into the dining room and checking in with the customers, which really makes for some good realism, and getting a feel for what regular folks think about a certain place. Most of the time anyway, there was that one time he found Gene Hackman enjoying a little place down in New Mexico, but I think that's the only celeb I've ever seen on the show.

Guy is a lot of fun, and the show probably wouldn't work without him, he just brings such high energy and such a great sense of humor to the table.

Take a little time, it's just a half hour show, and check it out. I think you'll be glad you did.
