History Series / DinersDriveInsAndDives

* FoodPorn

* BonusMaterial: The Season One DVD set contains unaired recipe clips from the first four seasons.

* BaconAddiction

** Unlike most (if not all) other cooking shows, occasionally Guy eats something that he simply doesn't like. But he generally makes it so humorous that the chef doesn't seem to mind.

* BowlingForRatings: Played With. Guy visits Bryan Lane Bowl in Minneapolis, MN, which is a diner... and a bowling alley. But it's hardly the working class dive as it serves pad thai, buffalo burgers and smoked salmon salad.

* DoesNotLIkeSpam: Guy does have some dislikes when it comes to food, such as eggs, sweets, and breakfast items. But that doesn't mean he's unwilling to try or appreciate them.

* {{Crossover}}: Of the culinary kind. An episode featured Chino Bandido, a joint mixing up Chinese, Mexican and Caribbean food.
** And then there's the internal crossover with ''Guy's Grocery Games'', featuring four of the most popular chefs from this series.

* HiddenDepths:
** Despite his appearance and personality, Guy does know a decent amount about cooking.
** Several of the chefs fall under this too. There are quite a lot of tattooed BoisterousBruiser cooks on the show that know perfectly well what they're doing in the kitchen.

The show's 13th season[[note]]Fieri does two seasons a year, to the confusion of all[[/note]] ended in March 2012.

->''"Hey! I'm Guy Fieri, and I'm rooooooling out to look for some of the greatest [[TitleDrop Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives]]!"''

The show's 13th season[[note]]Fieri does two seasons a year, to the confusion of all.[[/note]] ended in March 2012.

** DennisMiller shows up in one episode and ruthlessly pokes fun at Guy with Guy's older son Hunter there to watch the carnage.

* {{Crossover}}: Of the culinary kind. An episode featured Chino Bandido, a joint mixing up Chinese, Mexican and Carribean food.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The show was initially a lot more low-key, had a muted color palatte owing to DV cameras made at the time and Guy was a lot quieter.

** Unlike most cooking shows...heck...all cooking shows...occasionally Guy eats something that he simply doesn't like. But he generally makes it so humorous that the chef doesn't seem to mind.

* MeatVersusVeggies: Averted. While a big meat eater, Guy has raved about vegetarian dishes, such as the spinach quesadillas at The Cove in San Anotonio, TX and the vegetarian Pho soup at The Fly Trap in Ferndale, MI.

* StopBeingStereotypical: Barely averted, but one of the greatest chicken Guy has ever tasted was From Uncle Lou... created, served and attended almost exclusively by an African American with grandma recipe. To put icing on the cake, Lou is almost a real life version of [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Chef]], down to the voice.
* SupremeChef: Jamie's Bar and Grill blows Guy's mind, making beef sandwich with mignon prepared every morning, chopping each spice by hand, smoking his own prime rib, cooking through weekends without being open for business, and so on. Then there's Lucky's Cafe, a place that makes absolutely everything from scratch. The corned beef, breakfast sausage, pickles, ketchup, etc.
* TastesLikeChicken: Lampshaded. When a chef makes grilled octopus he tells Guy that it "Tastes Like Chicken!"

!!This show provides examples of:

* [[DoesNotLIkeSpam Does Not Like Eggs]]: Guy does have some dislikes when it comes to food, such as eggs, sweets, and breakfast items. But that doesn't mean he's unwilling to try or appreciate them.

* HollywoodDriving: Invoked in the intros and outros, as Guy spends as much time (if not more) talking to the camera as he does looking at the road, especially in the later seasons.
* IncrediblyLamePun: Guy is famous for these.

* FanNickname: {{invoked}}Triple D, which Guy ends up using in later series.
* ForeignQueasine: Inverted. It's the LOCAL stuff like pig's ear sandwiches and Menudo (pig's feet and tripe) that can stop Guy in his tracks.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: So far, only Seasons 1-4 are on DVD.

* MissingEpisode: From Season One - the episode "Blast from the Past" is not included on the Season One dvds.
