My New Guilty Pleasure

Several months ago I stumbled across a wonderfully addicting show on the Food Network and have recently added it to my DVR rotation. I feel I need to spread the word on this fun, quaint program. “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” airs several times during the week and explores a seemingly endless number of small restaurants scattered throughout America. The show is hosted by Guy Fieri, a previous winner of the Food Network’s equally addicting show “The Next Food Network Star.” You may recognize Fieri more from his semi-annoying T.G.I. Friday’s commercials, but he comes across more personable in this show. In each episode, Guy will visit between 2 or 3 different restaurants in various cities in America each with similar food themes. The main goal of the show is finding equally unique and delectable menu items at these establishments. Fieri will stand with the chef or proprietor as they explain the preparation for the entrée and will sample the finished product. The Food Network airs the show in high definition which only amps up the level of hunger when viewing the delicious creations. The beauty of the show is its simplicity as well as the connection it creates to everyday, hard-working Americans creating wonderful foods all over the country. Give the show a try, it won’t disappoint.
