My family and I are huge Guye Fieri fans. We all love the Food Network and have for years and years. Remember Gordon Elliott’s Door-Knock Dinners, the original Iron Chef, East Meets West With Ming Tsai, The Galloping Gourmet (great fun!), From My Garden with Curtis Aikens (Great food, great recipes, great personality – where oh where did Curtis and his garden go?!), Grillin’ and Chillin, Molto Mario, Nigella Bites, Too Hot Tamales, Ready-Set-Cook!, The Naked Chef, Pick of the Day, Food 911, and Emeril Live…. Live (one of the best shows ever – cooking or non-cooking)? Remember when $40 a Day and 30 Minute Meals were fresh off the stove? Remember when you first laid eyes on Alton Brown?!
Remember the first time Paula Deen charmed us all?! She still charms the paintings off the wall and Rachael Ray is still a breath of fresh air. And Alton Brown? What can you say about him? He could read a Physics book out loud and make it fascinating. He’d also make it understandable!
Uh, yeah… I’ve been a major fan of the Food Network for some time now. Over the past 5 or 6 years, unfortunately, some favorites have disappeared. Some chefs have wanted to ditch this or that show and move in a different direction, some have just fallen off the face of the earth – that sort of inevitable thing. Many have taken on new responsibilities and new shows and their original ones kind of fell by the roadside. However, the Food Network is extremely clever and darned good at what they do. They brought along Ace of Cakes and Guy Fieri and… in the opinion of this Food Network fanatic… saved the network. Most of the episodes on the Food Network are still can’t-miss television, even if we do miss a lot of the greatness from the past.
Guy Fieri is greatness in the present. He has a certain charisma, likability, and over-the-top charm that the Food Network needed JUST when it needed it the most. I’ll just be honest, some of the shows were beginning to put me to sleep! And I can’t say that the competitions are my favorite things to watch…. although I did love The Next Food Network Star.
Guy’s Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives is one of the funnest shows on The Food Network. Guy has a way of bringing out the character in everyone he meets – making them almost as entertaining as he is.
If you’re also a Guy Fieri and Diners, Drive-ins and Dives fan, you’re going to love this: There is a new application dedicated to Diners, Drive-ins and Dives called Triple D App. It’s available on both iPhone and Android platforms. Miss an episode or two? Now you can see them right from your phone. Planning a Diners, Drive-ins and Dives trip of your own? Get a head start and see the menu (if available). Need directions? No problem, there’s a map to guide you on your way!

I love this show. Wish some of the restaurants were near where I live.
