American Food Trip - mit Guy Fieri

Touring America's restaurants the only way Guy Fiery knows how - by introducing you to the families who prepare it & the cultures that inspired them to do so. Making food fun is what Guy does best.

Guy Fieri is entertaining as the hose of Diners, drive-ins and divers. Most of the food I see on the show looks delicious. And some of the portions are large.

Its interesting to see all the different types of food the restaurants make on the show. Watching the show makes me wish that food could be passed from inside the TV to me. A food transporter. It makes me wish I had smell o vision at the very least.

I have never tried to make any of the food on front the show. I never even thought of making any of the food front the show until I wrote that.

I am surprised that there are so many restaurants for Guy to travel to. If the whole world were like me there would be no restaurants. I have not been out to eat in awhile. But, I like seeing the restaurant food. That is for sure. Most of it looks delicious.

If you like food I am sure you will like Diners, drive ins and divers. Its fun to watch. The food is out of bounds as Guy would say.

Guy makes this show work, he is funny and even though I may never get to all the locations in the series. Highly recommended.

If you are looking for Julia Child, this is not the show for you. Guy Fieri, the host of the show, visits diners, drive-ins and dives, just like the title says. These places feature down-home cooking, bar food, truck-stop standards, Cajun recipes, Southern dinner table traditions, NJ diner menu items, etc. In short, they feature comfort food. What is comfort food? According to Wikipedia, comfort food is "food which provides a nostalgic or sentimental value to the consumer and is often characterized by its high caloric nature, high carbohydrate level, and simple preparation." In short, the show features food that is comforting as well as delicious. Guy travels from the Atlantic to the Pacific and highlights restaurants that have a reputation for comfort food. He visits the kitchens and a few menu items are prepared in toto with us, the food-loving public, watching.

Guy has a style all his own, but the show's emphasis is on the food, which is usually mouthwatering. As HGTV is to home remodeling and buying, DD&D is to food preparation and consumption.

Watching the restaurant customers chow down on the food is both satisfying and tortuous, because you want to partake yourself. Watching the food preparation gives the viewer a vivid concept of the subtleties of the recipes, and some of them are not simple despite the definition of comfort food.

This is enjoyable viewing for anyone who appreciates finding those hidden treasures of delightful dining that are somewhere in every small town and big city.

This is a pretty fun and interesting show. Guy Fieri gives the viewer a well rounded assessment of what he saw and ate while he was out and about. I like how Mr. Fieri does his thing – he is always positive and never says anything bad about any establishment. I can only assume the intent is to leave hard-core opinions up to the diner to decide. Additionally, I have gone to a few of the eateries mentioned and some have been excellent before and after his visits and others have not fared so well. In particular - there is this favorite lunch spot we all go to while working in Florida. Before Guy showed up, the food was pretty good, nothing to write home about - but the ambiance was really very cool. After Mr. Fieri showed up, ate and left – the food quality went down as the prices went up. This is actually a very rare case. Are all Guy's 'hot spots' like this? No way. This is the only flippity-flop experience I ever had. All the other places I have frequented (that Guy also visited) – continued to practice what brought him there in the first place. Quality local food at quality local prices. Good Show and I will continue to watch as an avid fan.
