Fascinating Places To Stop Along the Diners, Driveins, and Dives Course

Who knew that some of the best of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives could be found right alongside the road? Some of these exceptional places could really be called shacks. While it is doubtful that the Food Network will rename the show to Diner, Drive-ins, Dives, and Shacks, it is truly surprising where they will end up next.

As guy Fieri travels around the country with a dedication to finding the best local eateries, we all want to experience some of the highlighted places that have been showcased through the television. As a roadtrip experience, heading off to the Virginia Diner in Wakefield to experience the unusual and amazing Peanut Pie can spice up your road trip beyond the expected. Any connoisseur of great food will love the experience of planning a road trip to find the Sacramento, California gem known as the Squeeze Inn to down some of the best burgers ever crafted.

Guy Fieri has found many of these little roadside stands and so can you. If a restaurant is brave enough to call itself a shack but it exists in a building, does it still count as a shack? Or does it have to meet some other criteria in order to be considered a shack?

When you jump into gear and get moving toward your first destination, take with you a simple list of the foods that Guy indicated were particularly exceptional one the show. The diners, dives, and drive ins that have been graced by Guy Fieri most definitely have something more than merely special to offer. Being on the list of top picks (like the Fairhope, Alabama favorite Panini Pete’s) doesn’t happen thanks to mundane menus and just average food quality.

Obviously, we all want to find unique and interesting places, rich with history and good food when we dine out. What Guy Fieri’s diners have done have is brought these most unusual places to our attention. There are many, many sweet little places like these that can be found all throughout the country but sometimes you just want to know that you’re heading toward the coolest place around.

It has been well established that Diners, Driveins, and Dives gives voice to the small business restaurant. Family owned operations, holes in the wall joints, and specialized places of interest are highlighted every season. This gives the small business restaurant a new advertising tool as well as national recognition for the neat or interesting take they present.

Whether you want to find yourself tossing peanut shells on the floor, grabbing the most unique square donut, or eating the largest plate of pulled pork in the world, your vacation plans that follow in the footsteps of Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives is one road trip that is beyond imagination until you do it.

As Guy Fieri’s diners have proven over and over again sometimes all it takes is a little imagination and a helping of culinary skill to develop a place where friends are made, stories are shared, and life moves forward thanks to the simple pleasures of sharing good meals and a good time.
