Pleasure Cruising Through More Diners, Drive-ins and Dives by Guy Fieri

Dear Amazon Customers,

My drop-top culinary cruise to America?s most fun and funkiest joints is the adventure we?re all looking for--and I?m having the time of my life. I?m glad to get out there because it reminds me of what a great country we have. I have five restaurants of my own (three Johnny Garlic?s and two Tex Wasabi?s), and as a chef and restaurant owner, let me tell you, it?s a tough business. You really have to love it to keep with it. I thought having my own restaurants in Northern California?s wine country couldn?t be beat, but sharing these mom and pop joints across the country and highlighting not just their food but their stories is probably the greatest experience I?ve ever had. And on top of it all, the show results in an increase in their business and ends up changing their lives. We get stories emailed to us all the time: I opened a second location, I bought the building, I bought my wife a new Mercedes.

One of these folks was Gorilla Rich, owner of Gorilla Barbeque in Pacifica, California. I met him while at a NASCAR race, and I knew this guy had to be on television. I didn?t even know he had a barbeque restaurant at the time, so I wasn?t even thinking of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. I even called my producer from the track and said, ?I met this dude and we?ve got to get him on television.? Long story short, turns out he?s doing some slammin? BBQ, we end up highlighting his restaurant on the show, and things are blown out! They?ve got a second smoker now and are looking into another location. Gorilla and I have become really good buddies, so when I?m home in California he?ll drive up to my house and we?ll hang out. Making these connections is one of the neatest things about doing the show. It can?t happen with all of them, of course, but at some of the locations--like Voula?s, Panini Pete?s, Grinders, Luigi?s Pizzeria, and Hodad?s--these people have become really close friends. And it?s not that we?re great friends because I came to shine a light on them and change opportunities for their business, it?s because they?re brothers from another mother. We?re all in this industry to make people happy, that?s what we love to do. So when you find these other brothers that are out there doing that same thing, it?s a culinary family reunion in flavortown.
