I love watching Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Jake humors me but only for about one episode.
I don't know why he doesn't like the show. We enjoy eating in those Mom and Pop, non-chain, one of a
kind, hole in the wall type restaurants. We had several favorites in Utah. There was a favorite Asian place (it went out of business before we moved), a couple
favorite burger places and a really great Korean place. I almost forgot our favorite Mexican place- the flan was divine!
We haven’t found as many favorite places here yet. We do have
a favorite pizza place (they also have calzones to die for!), a favorite diner,
a favorite Asian take out place (there are tables to sit in but not many and it
really works better to bring it home) and a favorite “nice” place. We are still looking and having fun trying places out.
The reason I like DDD is I love seeing that every town has
great little places to eat. I figure if we go places I will know where to eat.
There are some things I don't think I would try. One time they went to a place that had
pig ear sandwiches. I'm sure that to some pig ears are great- so I will let anyone who likes them have them.
On another episode, they showed a pizza with eggs
cracked on it. I am not a big fan of eggs. I can eat eggs with enough cheese, green chilies and hash browns but NOT eggs with runny
yolks!!! The sad thing is the pizza looked great until they cracked the eggs on it. I would try this restaurant because the pizzas look great. NO RUNNY EGGS though.
Mostly the food looks
really good and I keep a mental list of places to try.
If you are taking a trip, check out the Diners, Drive-ins and Dives
website to find a great place to eat when you get there! Do you have a great Diner, Drive-in or Dive in your area?

Love that show! The last time we were in SLC, I looked up to see where Guy had been and we went to a diner, up by the University. It was awesome!
I like this show; it is always fun to watch! My son likes to watch it too and saw one time they were highlighting Phil's BBQ here in the San Diego area; he wanted to go to it. Oh my gosh, we did; the food was delicious and what a following they had! I'm like you; so many good foods out there to try if we ever get in that area (except for runny eggs of course :)
