Diners, Drive-ins and Dives

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.

...Guy Fieri needs a little more finesse.

I mean, I like the show because it does show some excellent culinary wizardry in various locales across the country, but the few things I don't like are Guy's showmanship, the way he wants to stick his nose into wanting to assist where It's not very welcome, also sticking his fingers into things like sauces, batters, unfinished products, and so on (bad hygiene!); but the one thing that sickens me is his "hunch" - good lord, Guy do you have to stuff half a sandwich in your mouth to enjoy it? What if you got a whole mouthful of raw garlic or undercooked chicken? Would you then call it ridonkulous? How many takes does it need to be what you really call edible? I'm sure no restaurant chef or diner cook is going to redo the same plate more than three times to satisfy your pallet!

Other than, it's good to watch, but he could lose the childish behavior and jokes behind. Maybe I am just overcritical here, but like I said, I do enjoy the series.

I love the concept of the show, but, good grief Food Network. A little variety doesn't hurt. The Guy Fieri overload has gotten out of control. Triple D, Triple G, specials, etc are getting OLD.

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