Diners, Drive Ins & Dives

So, my new favorite show (besides Doctor Who and until Heroes returns) is 'Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives' from the Food Channel. It's this guy who travels around to diners, and he checks out their food, watching them cook on the grill and in the kitchens of the diners, preparing the best dishes from their menu.



I like the show because Guy Fieri is kinda cool and funny. He says things like 'that's off the hook' and 'that's money' when he taste tests the food. I like old fashioned mom & pop diners with homestyle cooking - Places that have been in business for generations, with the same menus, same old fashioned way of cooking. I like looking at food, and I mean real food, not a tiny piece of pink raw meat in the center of a plate with a sprig of green leaf and orange sauce drizzled on top of it. I mean a big heaping piled-up plateful of food like burgers, fries, steaks, breakfast dishes, and homebaked desserts. Yummy. Just fun.
