Packed with Guy's iconic personality, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives follows his hot-rod trips around the country, mapping out the best places most of us have never heard of. From digging in at legendary burger joint the Squeeze Inn in Sacramento, California, baking Peanut Pie from Virginia Diner in Wakefield, Virginia, or kicking back with Pete's 'Rubbed and Almost Fried' Turkey Sandwich from Panini Pete's in Fairhope, Alabama, Guy showcases the amazing personalities, fascinating stories, and outrageously good food offered by these American treasures. The iron-stomached Fieri, restaurant owner and Food Network personality, has probably choked down more burgers, bacon, pancakes, hash browns and fried eggs than any person should have to, and this dense, photo-packed retrospective allows viewers to replicate many of his favorite restaurants' recipes at home. Like the show, Fieri takes diners on a tour of the country's best local eateries, like Kansas City favorite YJ's Snack Bar, which uses two electric burners and a sidewalk grill to crank out exotic fare from around the world; James Beard Award-winning Al's Breakfast in Minneapolis; and all culinary points in between. The book contains a fair number of predictable classics like coconut cream pie, macaroni and cheese, meatloaf and burgers (including one that's dipped in batter and deep-fried), but has an equal number of interesting riffs such as Cap'n Crunch French Toast, Nut N' Honey Pancakes, Pork and Sweet Potato Empanadas and Chicken Fried Lamb Chops. Viewers' requests are also featured, including the Red Arrow Diner's American Chop Suey. Rounded out with plenty of behind-the-scenes anecdotes and local color, this tour of off-the-beaten-path establishments has enough regional entries to keep culinary road-trippers busy (and full) for many, many miles.

(Food Network) Rating - Not As Good As The Show If you have bought this book or are considering buying it, you are probably a fan of the show. I really dig the show and had to have this book. If you have ever tried to go on Food Network and get a list of the places that the show has gone to, or if you are going on a trip and vaguely recall that there was a place nearby that you wanted to check out, forget it. Guy's website is the pits for conveniently having that information handy. So along comes the book and, presto, here's your list! At least that problem ... Read More Rating - Super Treat Anyone who watches the show will love the book. We gave it as a gift and have visited around 10 of the places listed. It is fun and a super treat to anyone who loves an adventure. Sharon and Tony in Cincinnati Rating - Disappointed Very disappointed. One of my favorite programs and felt that the book didn't share any of the spots that I wanted or recipes that I was hoping to find. Have not opened it since I received it. Possible re-gift item. see more reviews See all books by author Guy Fieri, Ann Volkwein
