Whether or not you're into cooking, watching the Food Network can be a great time. It's fascinating to see how local restaurants across the country create delicious cuisine for their communities, and Michigan is no exception. Most of my favorite Michigan restaurants are locally owned, which is why shows that highlight local spots are so gratifying to watch.
Now, one of the Food Network's most popular shows, "Diners Drive-Ins and Dives," is set to feature a popular Michigan eatery on Friday (Feb. 11). From an owner's perspective, I can't imagine the excitement of Guy Fieri and the Food Network staff popping by a local spot.
Eastside Fish Fry & Grill is set to appear on the show this Friday, and it's actually the second time the restaurant has been featured. The Food Network was such a fan of the show the first time they visited that they decided to come back for me.
The restaurant announced the news via social media. "If you enjoyed our episode on Food Network diners drive-ins and dives with Guy Fieri as much as we enjoyed shooting it you’re in for a special treat because we have been featured again our next episode," they stated. "...Eastside Fish Fry and Grill Thanks and appreciates all the love, support and business we receive every day," they stated. "We wouldn’t be where we are today without our customers." It's so great to see local spots get recognized nationally. What restaurants would you like to see on the show? Reach out to me on social media and let me know!
"Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives," hosted by Guy Fieri on the Food Network, is one of the most popular shows for food lovers. There's just something super entertaining about Fieri, and the show is so fun to watch. What's extra cool is that Fieri has come to Michigan multiple times and picked local restaurants to highlight on the show.
TVFoodmaps.com has compiled a full directory of all the restaurants that have appeared on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives." Think of this as a list of spots every Michigan food lover should visit. Some of these restaurants are familiar to me, like Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger, while others I are not. My parents actually live just a few miles from Zaytoon Mediterranean in Lansing, Michigan, and I had no idea they were featured on the show until now. They do have some great Miditerranean food. Which are your favorite Michigan spots that you think should be featured on the show? Reach out to me on social media and give me some recommendations!
In total, Fieri has highlights 16 different Michigan restaurants on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives." What can I say- we have some great eating spots here! View the full list of Michigan restaurants featured on the show below, and make sure to visit them at some point. View the full list here.
