So, can we all agree that Diner's Drive ins and Dives is the best show on the Food N?

I catch the show sometimes. It's enjoyable as something in the background while I'm doing chores. Guy Fieri's aversion to eggs is odd though. It's in a lot of foods he eats but as a main ingredient he avoids it all together. Notice on the show there's never any fried or scrambled eggs when he's tasting?

no that would be giadas or nigillas show because cleavage and food go together.

Guy is a massive douche, but the show manages to be good despite him.

All better shows with more likable hosts than Guy Fieri.
Dont forget chopped. That's pretty much all they show on the Food Network nowadays. That and reruns of Iron Chef.
Also, Giada <3

Credit where it's due - it is a good show, love that he promotes small local establishments, but sometimes it feels like it's the only show left on Food Network. I think it's on most weeknights now for a couple hours at a time.
I must be old school, my favorites were always Good Eats, Emeril, and Mario Batali's show. Learned a lot watching those.
...come to think of it, were the Two Fat Ladies on Food TV way back in the day? They were pretty good.

People like this fat idiot?
Those reports about his homophobic comments don't help much either.

They like the show, not the fat idiot.
A lot of the food they show inspires me to cook, which is what makes it good to me.
Off topic, but is Alex Guarnaschelli really an Iron Chef now? If so then that show is dead to me.
It doesn't actually teach you anything. It's like a show written for kindergartners.
Let's go to the hamburger store!
Here's a hamburger! What goes in the hamburger?
Meeeeeeeat.... Saaaaaalllt.... Peeeeppeeeeerrrr....
Then they fry it and put it on a bun and then Guy eats it! Mmmmmmmm Guy likes it!
Next let's go to the spaghetti store!
Here's some spaghetti! What goes in the spaghetti?
Spagheeeeetti... Tomatoes..... Saaaaaallllt..... Peeeeepppper....
Let's watch people eat the spaghetti! Mmmmmmm they like it!
Guy gets in his big red car and drives away!

You gotta eat here is much better but might only be on in Canada.
Guy can be hard to watch at times but the show is still good, yes.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Can't stand the guy really but I've lifted some amazing ideas from the places he visits. I could care less who the host is, I just enjoy seeing the things those people come up with in their kitchens.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
That show is awful.
"Hey, let's watch this douchebag shove food in his face and then say a ridiculously stupid saying that nobody over the age of 15 should ever say!"
Chopped, Cutthroat Kitchen, and Iron Chef (yes, with the amazing Alex Guarnaschelli) are way, way better.

Or: Guy Fieri Finishes Other People's Sentences for Thirty Minutes
It often feels like Man Vs. Food, minus the likeable host. In the hands of another production company and without Fieri it might be passable. As it stands it's too much Guy and not enough about the restaurant and the surrounding community.

See, I thought Geoffrey Zakarian was the Simon Cowell on Chopped as well. But I watched him on Next Iron Chef and the guy is awesome. Maybe if I had watched Guarnaschelli I would have changed my mind about her.
Both pale in comparison to Michael Symon though.

Fuck Guy. He's a racist homophobe and he has no business having his own show. And he's annoying as shit. It's like they said "let's find the most annoying dude who looks like he's from the 90's and give him is own show".
Here's an enlightening interview about him: http://www.citypages.com/2011-10-12/restaurants/guy-fieri-in-diners-drive-ins-and-disasters/

I'm not real big on Guy and his persona, but I do like that highlighting of small local places across the country. We keep a little list of places we see on shows like DDD so when we're visiting a new town we can refer back to it.

Agreed. The True Iron Chef, second only to Masaharu Morimoto.
It sucks Symon's talents are wasted on that blah ABC morning food show The Chew.
Shut the front door - he's pretty cool.
I am surprised at all of the Guy hate, it's a fun show and he's a fun host. I enjoy having it in the background.
So many hateful comments
I do like Giada, but most of the other shows seem too formulaic and staged. Also, don't like the host of Chopped. Iron chef is cool though.
Miss old school FN, though. East Meets West was awesome.

I don't like Guy Fieri at all, but I do watch the show a lot when I should be trying to go to sleep. He's an awful personality, but I enjoy seeing all the food being made. There are great restaurants and talented chefs seemingly everywhere. I'm amazed at how much he eats. He eats several items from each location, and it's not like he takes a bite or two to get a taste he can describe, he eats the whole damn thing.
lol. Conan?
I agree with the others that Guy's annoying, but the show's fun to watch.
