(Yet) Another Season of Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives

[foodnetworkaddict.com]

Well, while you were out at babyGap buying presents for mom-to-be Giada De Laurentiis, TNFNS Season 2 winner Guy Fieri was busy getting picked up for two more seasons of his Food Network show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.


Ehhh... you know, I've caught bits and pieces of a few episodes but don't think I've ever sat through an entire one. There's only so many hash brown, sausage, spaghetti, burger combo plates named something like "horeshoe" or "the boot" that I need to see.

The show -- in which Fieri visits local greasy spoons around the country -- has been a hit for Food with new episodes Mondays at 10 p.m. drawing more than 1 million total viewers, about 20% more than the network’s average in primetime, according to Nielsen Media Research.

Broadcasting & Cable also reveals that his weekend show, Guy's Big Bite, was picked up for another season. I just hope Guy can think of 15 more tater top recipes quick!

GOOD!!!!

D,D & D is one of my FAVORITE Food Network shows! They really picked a winner, there! His Big Bite show is another fave, but I rarely see that any more. I see THREE D,D & D shows to ONE Big Bite.

The guy is so easy to relate to...I can easliy understand his popularity. I just wish to heck that I could visit one of his eateries.
