Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives
 

Every time I watch this ****ing show, I want to eat everything I see. Why can't my hometown have Juicy Lucy's or incredibly cheesy looking homemade Mac N Cheese with bacon. I hate this show.

Why didn't I come up with this idea?

Travel the world and ****ing pig out.

That show's decent, but I think Man vs. food is way better.

It's a great show. Very addictive.

I imagine Guy Fieri as Phobia's distant brother.

triple D is the bomb. Me and my fiance are going to St Louis later this month for a hospital visit, and afterwards we are going to go to Anthoninos (?sp) which we saw on the show.

After that, we are gonna make it a thing

Guy Fieri is the ultimate douche, but I can't help but like the show.

I actually don't think he's a douche at all. His personality is incredibly charismatic.

He is charismatic (and actually likeable), I'll admit that. But he is the very definition of douche; with sunglasses around the back of his head, blond spiked hair, frat boy bullshit at the age of 45 etc.

That's just his style. He's a celebrity. It happens. I ain't gonna hate.

I'm not hatin, just callin a spade a spade, bro.

dude's a self made man also. can you believe he started his "empire" from just a pretzel cart.

planning on forcing my 7 y.o. to do the same thing. ;)

I hear his restaurants are over priced shit food.

I had some surgery this summer, and it required a stay at a rehab facility. I found out the my P.T. guy's mom had her show on 3D. It was Patty's Pierogies, in Fall River Mass.

The Juicy Lucy was a genius idea.

When I was in California a couple of years ago we stopped and ate at his restaurant Johnny's Garlic in Santa Rosa. Was not impressed.

Dude must come to Peculiar Drive in.

Watching this right now and they are in Kansas City at a place called "Pot Pie"

Anyone eat there?

For good burgers, try Carl's drive in or Baily's range.
For a good steak try Anni Gunn's or Tucker's.
Briskets = Bogart's or Pappy's.
Ribs = Roper's.

isnt there a guy fieri look-a-like that goes to Royals games sometimes?

Yep. Delicious, good quality food, but a little pricey; huge portions though. It's right next door to Bluestem, on Westport Road and SW Trafficway.

Ha. Nice find.

Is Winstead's still there? I used to enjoy going there as a kid.

The Varsity is good in Atlanta. It is greasy as hell but the chili dogs and onion rings rock. It is right next to Georgia Tech.

That was prolly the best episode of the year.

This.

The show came to a place right up the street from us (Munches). Fantastic food. Great atmosphere.

Here's the link to the show.

Have to be careful on this stuff. Chef Tio in KC was like one of "THE" Chefs on Food TV. We went to her place in Waldo and it sucked…no, it SUCKED. The food was all over the place..4 courses two were out of this world, two were awful, the service was similar to going to Sonic. And worse was no response to feedback. Zero.

Compare that to Rye in KC…Total 100% Home run

I watch it all the time.

He went to a place in KC that was known for their tater tot pizza, forgot what it was called. Everything on that show looks damn good.

Looks like a big, cold pile of crapola. Turrible.

No shit, looks like they're dry. The bottom two sandwiches don't have toasted buns.

Yup, filling is fine, but you gotta have correct buns. Slappin that shit on a plain great value store bun ain't gonna cut it.

I ****ing love that place.:clap:

very good food. I 'think' they come up with their menu everyday to some extent based on fresh ingredients they get.

He must get high first. Probably who South Park's Towlie is modeled after. Bleached, fluffy & absorbant.

Guy Fieri has reached Rachel Ray status. Way overexposed. Food Network might as well rebrand themselves Guy Fieri Network, it's ridiculous.

I watch 3D more for some of the recipes at the places they have. If I see something I would like to try and make I take notes....

I've been to a couple of the places they have featured before...the places were alright, nothing really wrong with them, but I can find great hole-in-the-wall places just as easily.

There's a place here in Indy that they previewed...not bad, but there is a better place just 4 doors down.

This guy isn't a douche. The guy who is a douche is the dude from Olathe who looks exactly like Guy, now that guys a douche.

Fieri has been at the Am Royal BBQ the last two years. Good guy

Guy looks like a douche, but he's basically just a California "dude." I remember here in KC he highlighted Woodyard BBQ and Grinder's in the Crossroads district. I highly recommend both.

In St. Louis, he highlighted one of my favorite mom and pop restaurants called Iron Barley in South St. Louis. Great food and folks there.

he's ok .. but that's just my thoughts .....

They've been to Swagger in KC down in Waldo. If you haven't been there, you should go. Home of the Waldo Trucker. I think that's why DD&D was there.

My favorite though is the Suribachi burger. The burger is cooked to order, then tempura battered and fried. With a Sriracha sauce and wasabi coleslaw on top.

I hate that lady boy mother ****er.

He's says the same shit at every place and he talks with his mouth full.

**** him I will not watch that show.

You should sue him.

I wish I had his car.

"This burger is outta bounds, on point my man. You can taste the sweetness from the caramelized onions and then the heat from jalepeno kinda sneaks up on you, you nailed it brotha".

I got the triple d app on my phone and if I'm on a road trip sometimes I'll try one of the places.

I hate when he goes to a place I have been going for ever and ****s it up by letting the secret out and then I up waiting in line for a bunch of new people.

Yep. I've also heard a lot of places' quality goes down with the increased traffic, too.

That settles it, dude's gotta be stopped!
You just can't **** shit up for the regs.

:D

My kids constantly say food is "off the hook" now thanks to Guy.

We try to go to one of his spots whenever we go to another city. We tried Hank's Haute Dog in Hawaii(not very good) and Mr. Bartley's Burger Cottage in Boston(we liked it, wife, who is a uber liberal had, The Republican, and I had The Mumbles Menino). Just something fun to do.

I prefer the Adam Richman productions, especially Amazing Eats. DDD's fine too but Adam's funnier.

There is a BBQ place near downtown Dallas in the farmers market that I had been meaning to try but turned up on that show and the lines now are ridiculous well over a year later.

You're referring to the pecan lodge. I ate there once. It was decent enough but there's long lines because it's because most of the que joints in this area suck. They are actually moving out of the farmers market stall and into deep ellum.

One thing I've noticed from his show: No matter what kind of food it is, almost all these places put garlic in EVERYTHING.

cause garlic is the ****ing bomb.

LMAO we got Duck Dynasty here, Pawn Stars and Dog the Bounty Hunter! HAHAHAAA YEEEAH

"the sweet, the heat... this is on point bro, gimme some dap on that"

That is the one and agreed that there isn't much in the area. Lockhart is supposed to be good but wasn't the only time I tried it.

They are closing soon.

Four Seasons?

They don't have a good bathroom to do coke in.

garlic makes the world go round, SIR.



/plus it keeps away vampire. LEARNED!

I planted garlic this fall. Will have 30 bulbs of four different types of garlic this spring/summer.

Next Sunday, Jan 19th.

It's my go to show when there is nothing else worth watching. I think Guy is entertaining for the most part, like to see what people are cooking and love the 69 Camaro.

I have a gmail account which is very similar to many others out there. So I get random emails meant for other people from time to time. Most recently I received some regarding Fieri's 46th birthday and them wanting me to RSVP for it. This is what I know it's in Santa Rosa CA on Jan. 18 and it's a Cannonball Run themed party. I'm crashing that bitch.

shit....you serious Clark?

Unfortunately. I've heard about some potential investors to buy it, but it sounds like just fanboi talk at this point.

Don't forget "texture"

Set your DVR's. Guy Fieri recently visited my town and here are the upcoming shows. Love you guys:


BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) - Guy Fieri brought his "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" crew to town in January.

This trip, Guy's headed coast to coast, from north to south. In Atlantic City, the local legend dishin' out righteous crab-stuffed flounder and a legit spin on cannelloni. In Phoenix, the mom and pop pizza shop firing up pies topped with everything from baked ziti to chicken marsala. And in Bakersfield, Calif., some sunshine and down-home specialties, like tri tip and grilled chicken, worthy of a road trip.

"FROM ATLANTIC TO PACIFIC"

Synopsis from "Triple-D" show page:

This trip, Guy's gettin' a far out taste of both coasts. In Bakersfield, Calif., the 75-year-old steakhouse firing up savory stuffed pork chops and legit lobster mac 'n cheese. Across town, the Latin-American fusion joint cranking out chicken and tri-tip with a south-of-the-border spin. And in Somers Point, N.J., the sandwich spot serving up all kinds of crazy combos, like a killer crab melt and the bomb pork belly reuben.

"GLOBE TASTING"

Airs -- 10 p.m. March 13; 1 a.m. March 14

Synopsis from "Triple-D" show page:

This trip, Guy's getting an authentic taste of all ends of the earth. In Bakersfield, Calif., the firehouse-turned-restaurant firing up Latin-fusion favorites like basque lamb tacos and popcorn pork with a side of zing. In Northfield, N.J., a Sicilian spot servin' all kinds of authentic specialties like grandma's pizza and homemade pappardelle pasta. And in Phoenix, the funky Thai joint dishing out off-the-hook dumplings and coconut Asian pork.

Fieri is also nearing the opening of his own restaurant, Johnny Garlic's, at The Marketplace in Bakersfield.

Have you been to those places? Thoughts?

I was disappointed that they left the "g" on that final "dishing" at the end.

I've been to Muertos (excellent burgers, fried mushrooms and garlic fries) about 3-5 times. Saltys is directly across the street from me and I've been there about 12-15 times. Excellent sandwich called The Pig. Pulled pork and tri tip topped with coleslaw. I've been Moo Creamery once about a month ago and had a burger, it was very good. I won't go to KC Steakhouse, I've heard a lot of bad things about it. Never been to the other two.
