Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives / Eat Street

[CanDB]

How cruel, they had food marathons during the Christmas holidays.........lots of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, and then a chunk of Eat Street...........and others. I ate enough and didn't need all those extra shows, causing a huge amount of salivation and constant munchies. As a result I have added a night to the gym since January hit......mind you, that's not such bad thing afterall! Interesting thing.....the food shows and the gym both can be easy on the eyes!!!!!

Do you folks get serious cravings when watching these culinary shows? And have you ever eaten at one of those restaurants or trucks? If so, were they as good as they appeared?

Shoot.......my mouth is watering as I think about some of the shows......sorry about that!

I watch Man vs Food all the time and get hungry watching it. Haha

I watched the Las Vegas episode and he went to the "Hash House A-Go-Go" restaurant. It looked so good I had to try it, so I went. It was without a doubt the best restaurant I've ever been to!

I've been there another 4 or 5 times since, because I just cant get enough of it!

Every time we go ANYWHERE, we look up DDD, and also Man vs. Food in the area.

2 examples for if the food is good or not.

BBQ place in Baltimore was REALLY GOOD (Think that was Mvs.F).

Drive-in, in Charlotte, was NASTY.

So, yes it can be a mixed bag.

Now that I think about it, I trust Mvs.F more than DDD.

The two shows I mention have been here in Canada (but not frequently), but it's unlikely they'd end up where I live......not a lot of diners, and truck season is very short.

When we travel, I'll be looking up some of these spots.

My wife and kids were in London, England recently and went to one of "Jamie's" restaurants.....they said it was reasonably priced and very good! Dang, missed that trip!

I usually can 'withstand' those shows without having the munchies (no so much to the GF tho lol).

I have not tried any of the joint or trucks I'v seen on the show (Québec is kind of far from everything they show) but I would be very pleased to try the stuffed chiken wing I saw in a eat street show (cant remember the name :-( ) the stuff lokks perfect for the superbowl, Big ass chiken wing syucck with mac and cheese ! mmmmmmm

Saw that show.....man those wings were big!!!! Looked tasty.

The only Canadian versions I've seen of either show were in British Columbia and near the ocean. I liked the truck in Tofino, which is one of the coolest coastal towns!!!! It's worth a visit....
