ORLANDO, FL - JANUARY 19: Celebrity chef Guy Fieri signs off on his new out ff this world burger and sandwich menu at Planet Hollywood observatory in Disney Springs on January 19, 2017 in Orlando, Florida.
Buckle up we are going to ‘Flavor Town.’ Guy Fieri’s “Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives” on the Food Network is amazing but what you may not notice watching it is how many places he visits that are in Florida, many of which are in the Bay area. Not only does it give me
some great ideas on places to try, but it’s fun to see what each place offers and my list keeps getting longer especially since 67 Florida restaurants have been featured.
If you want to see a list of ALL the restaurants featured on the show, TVFoodmaps.com has a full list, but I ranked some of the best choices I would want to visit.
