I find when a place is featured in a show like that, it will get overrun and the quality will sometimes suffer.
There was a Brewery in Tampa we liked to visit, the hidden gem there was that the food was better than the beer and the beer was awesome. We could always walk up on that place and walk right in.
Then DDD showed up there.
Now if you try to go there, you have to wait in a line to get in. I asked the hostess the last time we were there why it was so busy, she told me they were featured on DDD. The food quality suffered as did the service. The beer was still good though.
I miss that place.
I head to St. Petersburg now, lots of little places there the masses do not know about yet.
I always thought Anthony was a douche bag, I am not sure I would like him if I ever met him. I enjoyed his show and no BS take on things, I appreciated his honesty.
I always thought Andrew Zimmern would be a cool guy to meet, and Robert Irvine, he comes across as a pretty genuine guy. Plus I would love to ask him what his workout / diet routine is. Dude is a beast.
I am willing to bet Guy Fieri when not on camera is a pretty cool guy too. Who knows. Everyone loves hating the guy. We watch his grocery games show on Hulu, he does a lot of charity shows hats off to the guy, he figured out how to do something he seems to love.
I loved reading Mike Rowes piece a page or two back. Thanks for posting that Baz.
