Diners Drive-ins and Dives

We love this show.
Guy Fieri is such a fun host--always making wise-cracks and crazy facial expressions. Granted, most of the places he visits aren't renowned for their heart-smart menus, but it's interesting to see the many dives this country has to offer.
Here's one featured up the road from us.

I've often thought of places in our town that might draw him here. One of our local faves is Dinglewood Pharmacy. Guy should come here. The lunch counter shares space with the pharmacy (not too ironic, eh?); and it's regionally famous for its scrambled dog: chopped up hot dog in a dish covered in chopped bun, chili, oyster crackers, onions, pickles and ketchup and mustard. Other items include chicken salad (on toasted bread, of course) and burgers and homemade shakes and malts.
Then you can go to the pharmacy. Ask for Terry Hurley and he'll sell you some Tums.
