For restaurant owners, getting your location on the Food Network is pretty much like striking gold. Getting your restaurant on there twice is just incredible.

Earlier this week, Ann Arbor burger joint Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger was closed to customers as the network, for a second time, came in for filming.

The spot will reportedly be on the Food Network's famed "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" program.

The restaurant posted on Facebook, "Sorry for any inconvenience and we will post soon about when you can catch us on TV," but quickly deleted it. We'll keep you posted on when the episode airs.

Jim Schafer launched Blimpy Burger in 1953 on South Division Street, and it changed ownership in 1993. Today, it's located on South Ashley Street.
