The award for best summer television program goes to Guy Fieri and Triple D (diners, drive-ins and dives). I can't think of another show that makes me seriously consider driving to Portland, Oregon just to get biscuits. Always with the perfect one-liners, Guy takes a simple idea (touring the nation's greasy spoons) and makes it extremely entertaining. America may get a lot of things wrong, but the creation of diners is most definitely something we can be proud of. I'm hungry just thinking about them.
Here's a clip from one of last year's shows.

i love a good diner, this is a known fact....but come on, best show? The TGI Friday's guy is your choice for best show?
watch it, wentworth. Then come talk to me. Best summer show. Not best show ever.
When I see these commercials, I think of Collin Rowland.
Love the concept of the show, do not love Mr. Fieri. How can a guy who hosts Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives do commercials for Friday's? That offends the foodie in me.
hoffy, you're telling me that after you went from nobody to somebody decently famous, that all of a sudden you'd start turning down endorsement deals based on foodie standards? there's no way. you and i both would whore ourselves out to Buca DaBepo, Olive Garden, Ponderosa, wherever if they paid enough.
next thing you're gonna tell me is that it offends the baller in you that shaq fronts bengay.
I'd turn them down. We're talking about the one thing I'm passionate about. I'd be happy enough with the TV show. You can't put a price on credibility.
I could see his credibility getting dinged if he was hosting a fancy french show. But the demo he's reaching, the folks hanging out at the diners, for them TGI Friday's is a prom-worthy night out.
In other news, I bet Guy would be stopping to get a late night delicious burrito from Hoffdaddy's had you gone down that route.
