Season Five, Episode Nine

Return to Route 66 - Original Airdate 2/2/09

Guy Fieri takes an eastward tour of Route 66. In Flagstaff, Arizona, a family style restaurant serving scratch made southwest favorites; In Albuquerque an old gas station turned diner making classics. And in Chicago, a joint that's been serving fried chicken on Route 66 since the 30's.

Well, I don't really like him or his show either but we do like eating at diners, drive ins, dives, hole in the wall kind places ... so we put up with him ... sigh ... so whatever he did to make you angry, I am not surprised. I wouldn't mind if the show got a new host (or hostess) anyone who doesn't speak with their mouths full.

Right on, Mar & Bernie. I love this show, and I love the fact that it spotlights these neighborhood places the locals have come to love. I almost canned this entire project, but thought better of it when I came to the conclusion that the host isn't the show - the places are the show!

Safe travels and happy dining!

The Standard Diner was the best burger of my life!
