Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives: Season 1 [DVD]

I don't have cable-TV, just a TV antenna. I learned about this series from a friend after we talked about a similar set of shows on PBS by Rick Sebak.I was a tiny bit put off at first by the California looks of the host. I was also on guard because I have seen hosts of similar shows act rude towards people asking embarrassing questions. This guy comes close a couple times but is mostly respectful, rather funny and probably well schooled in the restaurant business.He travels the USA covering restaurants from hole-in-the-wall places to well established eateries with long standing reputations. The program is mostly filmed inside kitchens and shows little snippets of how the best of them became the best, their magic, and their enthusiasm.Don't watch this just before heading to the grocery store. But it is great for planning trips to distant places or searching for home cooking ideas. Well worth watching over and over. I didn't give it the highest reviews because the video quality is not very good.

Ever since I stumbled on to this show I have loved it! Guy is funny, informative and tireless in his exchanges between the chefs he encounters, prods and explores. I TiVo all of his shows but fully intend to buy all of his seasons just in case I lose any of the episodes - which has happened already once - drats! I find I pick up ideas frequently when watching how foods are prepared around the country. These chefs in his 3 D's episodes are a dedicated and creative collection of people with vision and an indefatigable pursuit of their dreams....all worth admiration! Great show done with humor and panache!

interesting like to look at the old diners I am going to buy more

Great show! Love all the different restaurants, bars and dives!

I totally enjoyed Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Guy has a way with people and you can tell he totally enjoys messing with people. The places that were highlighted makes me want to pick out some dump of a dive and sample their blue plate for myself. Thanks for the great Season ONE and looking forward to purchasing season TWO.

This first Triple D tells it all. Good food, great places to eat, mouth watering food in Dives and Diners. A honest unbiased look at behind the scenes of Mom and Pop places to eat. A outstanding host and a chef in his own right. This mixes humor, great people, and great places to eat and see in America. As long as we have these kinds of places in America. She will always be free and strong.

Bought as a gift. Arrived as promised in great shape

I loved it ! Fun Entertaining
