Anyone else watch this religiously? I feel like I am a one man cult that watches these and goes to ones that look interesting. I traveled all the way to Vancouver for a meatball sandwich from this show. Sometimes, when I go to a place that was on the show the previous night, I run into other cult members who have done the same thing. He finds all the best little places.Places like these are why chains should be abandoned. They usually use local ingredients as well. /soap box

I'm right there with you. A few months back I flew to Boise for a bbq sandwich.

Ok, no joke, I just typed in the website for the show because I am planning my trip across the country and our goal is to eat at one 'Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives' every day of our trip!Is there a list?? We're traveling through:Memphis, TNLittle Rock, AROklahoma City, OKAmarillo, TXSanta Fe, NMAlbuquerque, NM(mostly I-40)So... any help on this would be awesome!! kthx tww

i'd love to check out some of these places, but never have. has he ever been to this area?^there is a place in Tucumcari, NM right off of I-40 and the old route 66... i can't remember the name of it, but it has some awesome new mexican food... we stopped there for geology field camp back in the day (and then the second time i went as a camp manager), and then when i went out on my solo road trip out west the next summer... maybe it is called La Cita? (that's the first mexican restaurant i saw looking at google maps in Tucumcari. )[Edited on April 18, 2012 at 6:54 PM. Reason : ]

Whenever I travel I usually consult this page:http://www.tvfoodmaps.com/It seems to have all of the places from several shows.

It's not been on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives but you should check out Scratch Bakery in Durham. It was on Unique Eats.Its one of my favorite places to get breakfast in Durham. They have a sea salt and chocolate crostada that is so freaking amazing.http://www.piefantasy.comScratch111 Orange StDurham, NC We went there the day after seeing it on Unique Eats. If you go there on the weekends, try and go early b/c it can get very busy. There is a nice outdoor seating area if there arent tables inside.The sea salt and chocolate crostada is the first thing in this pic:[Edited on April 18, 2012 at 7:25 PM. Reason : s]

I'd like this show better if that douchebag didnt host it.Only one I have been to is Cabo Fish Taco in Charlotte. Loved that place.

The wife and I were in Baltimore and we stopped in this pizza place near Fells Point. We ordered our pizza and looked over and there is this big poster of Guy. We ask the waitress about it and, sure enough it was on an episode. We were really excited because we love the show and decided it was fate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_Smg8UJJuQbtw - The waitress said Guy was really nice but drank like 4 or 5 espressos.

Anyone ever ate at Bottoms Up in Richmond?
4/18/2012 8:45:28 PM
I ate a breakfast burrito at a place in Santa Fe a few weeks ago that had been featured on this show.
4/18/2012 8:52:32 PM
i've never traveled to any of the places on the show...but i do watch this show quite regularly.

Flew up to RI for dinner at Flo's Clam Shack that we saw on DDD. Any time we travel we try to find places that we saw on the show, and we'll probably plan some more foodie type trips to other places. Another good show like DDD is Unique Eats. It's like DDD but classier.

I've never actually been to scratch. Do they have meat or savory pies? I love savory pies (like... you know, British pies too) but you just can't find them it seems.

Meh...he came to charleston recently and everyone said he was the biggest douche. But I guess that's on par for [food]celebrities
4/18/2012 10:58:51 PM
I would never travel more than an hour for the sole reason of going to one of the places he went to but if I happen to be in a city he visited I'll check it out. I went to a philly cheesesteak place in Kansas City once, its was ground control to major NOMS.

^^^ charleston has their fare share of douches as well (present company excluded). maybe it was just personality conflict. Thoughts on the Tattooed Moose he promoted?i've heard him on the radio, guard down, not promoting anything and he seems like a pretty good dude.^ it's not like the restaurant didn't ask for the promotion][Edited on April 19, 2012 at 10:06 AM.

i feel like this is the only thing food network shows these days
4/19/2012 10:38:25 AM
he doesnt know how to be subtle. he's incredibly garish, and that makes him a grade a certified douche.
4/19/2012 12:36:30 PM
anyone who watches this show, or supports that guy in any way, can die in a fire.
4/19/2012 12:48:54 PM
^lol yes!
4/19/2012 12:53:16 PM
Tattooed Moose is great...as is Fuel, another place he went where I'm good friends with the owner. The owner is a really laid back guy and was excited that he was going to be on the show (for publicity reasons, obviously)...and he just said Fieri was an asshole douchebag. That's all. One of those, "nicest guys in the world when the camera is on, then yelling, screaming, and berating everyone once the camera turns off" type guys.
4/19/2012 12:55:55 PM
"omg i watch this show im such a foodie lol"you are the equivalent of this
