This is a great show - with one exception. Guy Fieri cannot seem to get through a show without letting us see the contents of his mouth while chewing and raving about what he's just eaten. I understand it's supposed to be a show about casual fare, but weren't we all taught this basic rule when we were kids? Perhaps a little editing would be in order, so that I can watch it without losing my appetite. Aside from that, he's enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He's not so much a reviewer as he is a cheerleader for these places. This show makes me want to go on a DDD road trip, but please Guy, swallow your food before you talk about it! I know people who won't even watch anymore because of this.

... View Morethat 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.

He stops at locally owned restaurants which generally feature big portions, big flavor, big attitude, and big crowds. Many of the restaurants on this show have been local favorites for decades, some going back 90 years or more.The restaurants featured on "Triple D" usually have some unusual feature. This includes a restaurant inside of a gas station, a classically trained chef serving meals at a bowling alley, a roving wagon which brings bar-be-que to your neighborhood, a restaurant that is made out of old school buses, a joint that serves a combination of Mexican-Jamaican-Chinese food, and hundreds more.As a cooking show, I find DDD to be better than most of the shows on Food Network. With most pot and pan shows, the host is trying to impress you with their cleverness. On DDD, you get to watch actual people cook actual food for actual crowds of people spending actual money. You see plenty of innovative techniques and flavor combinations for making and serving great food when time is of the essence.Many of these techniques and flavor combinations can be applied to lean protein, fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes and whole grains. In other words, you can watch this show and then make a healthy meal for your family that they'll actually eat. Watch this show with a pen and a notepad. You'll be glad you did.Diners Drive-Ins And Dives showcases America's diversity, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit. 500 years from now, historians will study this show to understand American culture in the early 21st century, and to laugh at Guy Fieri's hairstyle.
