American Food Trip - mit Guy Fieri

that are thinking of attending a live event: Went to the Atlantic City Food and Wine Festival sponsored by the Food Network. This was the worst event I ever attended.

With a name like "Guy Fieri's Cheesesteak Battle", I assumed 2 things: (1) It would be a "battle" like iron chef or chopped and (2) Guy Fieri would actually be there...like a host or MC. Neither of which were true.

Event was outside in 90 degree heat, it was muggy and started raining. You had to wait in overcrowded lines for cheese steaks and walk through grass which turned to mud. My wife and her heals didn't appreciate this at all.

We paid $80 a ticket because we thought we were going to a 3 hr event/show, INDOORS, with FOOD NETWORK QUALITY CHEFS...NOPE. Cheesesteaks were from sub-par establishments and chain restaurants. Lee's Hoagies had the best steak and it was a 6 on a scale of 1-10 for anyone who has ever been to Philly.

We left after an hour and a half so maybe Guy eventually showed his face. I don't really care, it was an awful event that took advantage of Guy's fans by attaching his name to it. I had come to expect more from the Food Network brand.

Over in Britain we are brain washed into assuming Americans eat nothing but junk food, but triple d with Guy Fieri is excellent, and shows us all the unknown gems which are good wholesome carefully prepared American independent food. Everything is freshly prepared, and such care taken by the people who make the meals, and what meals,I have never seen a burger made from minced sirloin steak, and all there own secret recipes, fresh produce too.

I sit here in Britain writing this comment, realising just how much the public in the UK are ripped off,on DDD servings are generous and seem excellent value for money. Keep on making the series Guy, it makes my mouth water watching you try the different dishes, I am very envious of your job.I was thinking of a holiday in the USA, the usual sort of thing Disney etc, but I would love to travel and eat at some of the places you have visited Guy during your great series.

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.

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.
