Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives

I love this show, especially in HD. I eventually want to plan a cross country trip setup just to go sample a lot of restaurants that have been on this show, pretty much setup the trip to just eat at these type places. I finally ate at my first restaurant to my knowledge that has been on this show. We went to The Varsity in Atlanta that is suppose to be the biggest drive-in, not sure if that is true or not, but it was a pretty cool place to eat, the hot dogs are excellent and the onion rings were a thing of beauty. Would recommend a stop here if you are passing through Atlanta because it's right off the interstate.

Anyone else visit some places off this show.

I went to Grandpa's in Dania with my grandparents about two years ago and remember thinking it was a stinky shithole with mediocre food. Then I saw it on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and couldn't believe it was getting raves about the food. I might have to give it another shot here soon. There's been one or two other South Florida places shown that look interesting.

Food Network. Guy Fieri hosts it, but as much as he annoys the ever living piss outta me, the food makes it worth the watching.

Here's a list of places he's visited and some websites if you wanna see if anything is local or familiar to you.

Edited to add Google Map goodness.

I watch the show from time to time. I'd like to visit some of the places mentioned, maybe the next time I take a ride up to Jersey I'll look for something along the way.
