Guy Fieri is a mixed bag in the world of food, a veritable John Cena figure in that some people love him and others despise him. Regardless, his show on Food Network, Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives remains a vital resource for anyone looking for great restaurants that aren't your normal chain fare or are high-fallutin' fine dining establishments. Not only is it a must-reference for eaters, both local and travelling, but the show is a boon for small businesses, perhaps the biggest success for those standalone establishments in these trying times. I've been to a few of these establishments, and not once has my meal been anything less than stellar. Triple D has a sterling track record.
