Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Audience Reviews

Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
Dorathen Better Late Then Never
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
david-236-18448 The absolute nadir of food shows. Guy Fieri builds every place up to be the epicenter of a city's culinary universe, but they're all just dumpy places in strip malls (DD&D featured a chicken shack in my neck of the woods once; Fieri called it "beloved" and a hotspot; the online reviews for the place were almost universally negative). No matter what their specialty is, they all seem to include five sticks of butter and at least one trip to the deep fat fryer in their recipe.Worst of all are the tasting sessions. Fieri slops the food all over his sweaty face, his fat fingers, the cooking surface, etc., and then grunts with his mouth full: "Man, that is spectacular! Right on, brother!" It's like he recorded it six years ago and just plays the tape back at the conclusion of each segment.The show makes all the food look disgusting. And with the repeated fryings, it probably is. I can't imagine being able to hold down my lunch with Fieri sitting across from me, a 50-year-old man dressed like an eight year old, yucking it up with all those bad puns and diving face first into food like a rabid hog. Absolutely grotesque.
devdead Firstly, Guy Fieri looks like he walked into an AXE commercial and decided to live inside of it. Seeing him alongside normal human beings is jarring. It's kind of like seeing a clown at a funeral. Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives does a fine job of displaying the restaurants but the insufferable host and editing make it a chore to have on in the background, let alone actually watch. The best thing to come out of the show is watching Guy get flat-out ignored when he makes a joke. It's rare for a host to consistently fall so flat on his face but Fieri's unintentional talent for schadenfreude manages to keep the show above an unwatchable level.Watching the show also reveals how shockingly little Guy knows about cooking. Keep in mind that, at the time of writing, he has 5 restaurants currently open. It's testament to Fieri's skill (or lack thereof) that every single time he opens his mouth to guess an ingredient used in a dish or even suggest one, he gets shut down. As it turns out, you should not add melted cheese to literally everything no matter how often Fieri suggests it. And whatever you do, don't try to deep fry everything. Nothing Fieri advocates so fiercely could possibly be any good.The New York Times called this show a "carefully engineered reality show" which is a claim I'd agree with as it does feel incredibly fake and forced but generally a reality show does a better job at not making a fool out of its host. I suppose there isn't any amount of manipulative editing that could make Fieri not seem like a bumbling buffoon.
ross_99-1 This is a great show - with one exception. Guy Fieri cannot seem to get through a show without letting us see the contents of his mouth while chewing and raving about what he's just eaten. I understand it's supposed to be a show about casual fare, but weren't we all taught this basic rule when we were kids? Perhaps a little editing would be in order, so that I can watch it without losing my appetite. Aside from that, he's enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He's not so much a reviewer as he is a cheerleader for these places. This show makes me want to go on a DDD road trip, but please Guy, swallow your food before you talk about it! I know people who won't even watch anymore because of this.
deskdreams that are thinking of attending a live event: Went to the Atlantic City Food and Wine Festival sponsored by the Food Network. This was the worst event I ever attended.With a name like "Guy Fieri's Cheesesteak Battle", I assumed 2 things: (1) It would be a "battle" like iron chef or chopped and (2) Guy Fieri would actually be there...like a host or MC. Neither of which were true.Event was outside in 90 degree heat, it was muggy and started raining. You had to wait in overcrowded lines for cheese steaks and walk through grass which turned to mud. My wife and her heals didn't appreciate this at all.We paid $80 a ticket because we thought we were going to a 3 hr event/show, INDOORS, with FOOD NETWORK QUALITY CHEFS...NOPE. Cheesesteaks were from sub-par establishments and chain restaurants. Lee's Hoagies had the best steak and it was a 6 on a scale of 1-10 for anyone who has ever been to Philly.We left after an hour and a half so maybe Guy eventually showed his face. I don't really care, it was an awful event that took advantage of Guy's fans by attaching his name to it. I had come to expect more from the Food Network brand.
