Diners Drive Ins and Dives

Have any of you watched this show on food network? its entertaining, BUT.. how is Guy Fieri not 500 lbs?? lol.

hate him.  to me, he's the male equivalent of rachel ray.

He's getting there. He just eats a bit of all that junk anyway. I doubt it's his normal routine.

I <3 Guy.

I think he's obnoxious as all hell.  He owns a few restaurants in my area, and my chef BF refuses to patronize any of them.  Heh.

Oh thank goodness, I'm not the only one who can't stand him.

The main thing I want to tell him is, "Dude. You're forty.  Whatever 'youthful' look you're trying to pull off, it makes you look like a tool."

Sorry for the snark.  Good show...just wish they had a less annoying host.

I also really, really dislike him . . . but I find the show interesting and watch in until he says "that's money" for the 5th time.  Then I have to change it at the risk of throwing the remote against the wall.

have any of you watched Man Vs. Food? I wonder how HE isnt 500+ lbs. That man can eat!

I LOVE Guy! I, among millions...actually quadrillions of people, wonder how paula deen isn't morbidly obese. The woman deep fries lasagna! That's just not right!!

I love that show - I get so hungry watching it...other times I get grossed out - have you seen him eat scrapple??? what is that??

Is he the guy with the white spikey hair?

Man, that show makes me hungry.. I like it but try not to watch it! 

I guess I'm in the minority cause I actually like the guy.  I don't think he can hold a candle to Tyler Florence or Bobby Flay (my personal favs), but he's alright.

He's thick already, but you're right he should be 500 lbs.  But, then again - they usually only show him taking a bite or two of the food.

His black bean veggie burgers are soooo good. :o

I can't watch that show.  How the heck many people do you need to see cooking BBQ or making sandwiches?  How much can you stand to see him gobble it down, grease dripping down his chin, and tell us how delicious it is, complete with eye rolls?  How many patrons does he need to interview so they can say how they eat there every day?  It's boring.

 Actually, she is rather obese, bless her bulging buttons. Not as bad as Paul Prudhomme though.  Emeril LaGasse is also looking really bad - his face is so puffy and unhealthy looking these days you can hardly see his eyes. 

I don't think any of them will live as long as Julia Child, who was the queen of moderation in all things.  Yes she cooked with cream and butter, but if you totaled it up, not as much as you might think. 

I like to watch the challenges on the Food Network. Still dig Gordon Ramsey's Hells Kitchen, but Top Chef is edging him out. :)

I like Guy. He is funny. And the comment about him being 40 and dressing too young...that's pretty snarky....I am over 40 and am not willing to dress like a grandma...gimme a break ! (Ageism for sure !)

His Drive in and dives show is great ! It makes me hungry too...and if one were traveling and wanted to go to some cool places..this show is a good guide ! (Okay, if you only ate once a day..) Lighten up people !

i like him i am just wondering how he isn't morbidly obese based on what he is eating at these places! i saw an episode once where he went to a diner and ate a cheeseburger with peanut butter on it

 Scrapple is what's left over after they make bacon, ribs, roast and sausage.  Everything plus the tail.  I had a hispanic  babysitter as a kid and they thrived on it. 

Scapple was a big deal in PA. when I was growing up. My grandparents ate it. I dont' know if it still is but any one from the area knows what it is. I never touched it. I don't even like the name.

My father loves scrapple and left a tin of the stuff in my fridge once.

Yeah, the tail's in there...and the snout's.
