For the worst food too. I always want something really greasy and/or cheesey. Oh, and full of carbs and/or bacon.
I really want a cheeseburger...or...an omelette. Damn this show! And why is everything always covered in gravy? Or deep fried? Or both! |

Holy crap man they did that four-episode marathon whatever today and my mom and I watched all of it--i'm pretty sure we both gained about 20 pounds just
from watching all of it. But it all looks SOGOOD.
I want pancakes after watching the Breakfast themed one. And waffles. And bacon. Maybe some sausage, cheese, and bacon in a pancake blanket. Hmmm....

I want whatever it was from that episode today that was toast with hamburger on top and cheese sauce and french fries on top of that. If I had a heart attack
and died WHILE eating that, I think I'd be ok with that.

I might be sad but I get SO hungry watching that show.. so they featured a place here on the show, and even though its an hour and maybe ten minutes away, they
made it so look good.. So I went and the place had I think one poster up with Guys picture with the times the show would be airing.. Anyway, back to the
food... so fucking good. I got the classic burger and my friend got this Ahi burger with sweet potato fries... and maybe I took some pictures of the food....
They have a ribs and bbq place as well that they didn't feature on the show but its been voted best bbq in the city.. But Guy is a genius if he came up
with this show idea.
Did anyone see the episode where this breakfast diner has two pieces of toast, eggs any style, maybe some ham, and gravy sauce and cheesse sauce and hash browns.. oh man, everytime he goes to a new city I wish I'd live there. |

The horseshoe! Right? I think that's what it was called. Hot SHIT man, did you see the one Guy made for one of the diners? The one with the massive
ass pancake and then he put hamburgers, ham, fries, cheese sauce, fries, basically everything on it? Good Lord.

Guy's originally from the area that I'm from so he's gone to a bunch of places around there on the show. I always think about how much I need to go
to those places when I go back home to visit and then I forget. I'm going next month though, I swear!

I have to watch that show so sparingly because I just hate my refrigerator when I go to it during commercials.

YankieKnob, I totally went and checked out one of the places he featured.
I'd heard about it already but his show made it all look so good. It was a
burger dive called Hodad's, and seriously...completely and totally worth being featured on the show. SO GOOD.

Either today or last night was rough when they aired this all BBQ episode. Again, the one thats been voted best bbq here is right next to that diner I went to,
an hour and ten minutes away.. and I just went to he diner on Weds, I just couldn't make the trek out there this weekend.. so I had to settle for Costco
ribs and I felt so violated.

Some of the stuff he does annoys me, but I forgive him becasue of this show. Again, it's fucking genius. Al Rokers show had nothing on this. |

There's a BBQ joint he featured that's in Gardena that I've been dying to go every time I think about BBQ. We never make it that far though,
because we end up stopping at Lucille's in Long Beach rather than keep going. Must push through!

I watched the Al Roker show for the first time today and I was just wishing that they would play Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives the whole time instead.

I want to go to that place in Gardena! |

I caught the end of the Al Roker thing and got supremely grossed out by the close up of his face as he was like...licking his lips or enjoying his food or
something. Not just because it's Al Roker, anyone's face that close up would have freaked me out.
Lucille's is a BBQ restaurant that's kind of randomly throughout California (and one in Nevada and Arizona). It's a chain so it kind of loses any sort of that unique style I suppose, but the food is SO GOOD. My brother and his friends drive over an hour for it at least twice a month. There was a period when they were going twice a week. There's one in Long Beach, Tustin, Cerritos, Rancho Cucamonga...and other places I can't remember. |

No problem! I highly recommend the BBQ Brisket sandwich, especially with the Lucille's Original BBQ sauce (though their mild one is pretty damn good with
it too). Their Baby Back Ribs are really good too. Their sides are freakin' amazing too...shoestring fries, corn on the cob, mac and cheese...there's
more, but I tend to stick to my favourites.
I don't know how you feel about biscuits, but oh gosh the apple butter they serve with the biscuits (the biscuits come with the meal) is DELICIOUS. I could go through a whole apple butter bowl with one biscuit, I swear. |

I'VE BEEN THERE! Dude, I just went to the site and saw that it's the same place I went to in Torrance! OMG, the biscuits were to die for! SO good. I
seriously wanted to order a bunch to take home!

We had a waitress once that was awesome, she just kept giving us biscuits. There was only three of us but she gave us 12 biscuits by the end of the night. She
knew we were taking a bunch home (saw us wrapping them up...we're not stealthy people
), but instead just snuck us a to-go cup of apple butter. I love
her.
