It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

The absolute nadir of food shows. Guy Fieri builds every place up to be the epicenter of a city's culinary universe, but they're all just dumpy places in strip malls (DD&D featured a chicken shack in my neck of the woods once; Fieri called it "beloved" and a hotspot; the online reviews for the place were almost universally negative). No matter what their specialty is, they all seem to include five sticks of butter and at least one trip to the deep fat fryer in their recipe.Worst of all are the tasting sessions. Fieri slops the food all over his sweaty face, his fat fingers, the cooking surface, etc., and then grunts with his mouth full: "Man, that is spectacular! Right on, brother!" It's like he recorded it six years ago and just plays the tape back at the conclusion of each segment.The show makes all the food look disgusting. And with the repeated fryings, it probably is. I can't imagine being able to hold down my lunch with Fieri sitting across from me, a 50-year-old man dressed like an eight year old, yucking it up with all those bad puns and diving face first into food like a rabid hog. Absolutely grotesque.

Firstly, Guy Fieri looks like he walked into an AXE commercial and decided to live inside of it. Seeing him alongside normal human beings is jarring. It's kind of like seeing a clown at a funeral. Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives does a fine job of displaying the restaurants but the insufferable host and editing make it a chore to have on in the background, let alone actually watch. The best thing to come out of the show is watching Guy get flat-out ignored when he makes a joke. It's rare for a host to consistently fall so flat on his face but Fieri's unintentional talent for schadenfreude manages to keep the show above an unwatchable level.Watching the show also reveals how shockingly little Guy knows about cooking. Keep in mind that, at the time of writing, he has 5 restaurants currently open. It's testament to Fieri's skill (or lack thereof) that every single time he opens his mouth to guess an ingredient used in a dish or even suggest one, he gets shut down. As it turns out, you should not add melted cheese to literally everything no matter how often Fieri suggests it. And whatever you do, don't try to deep fry everything. Nothing Fieri advocates so fiercely could possibly be any good.The New York Times called this show a "carefully engineered reality show" which is a claim I'd agree with as it does feel incredibly fake and forced but generally a reality show does a better job at not making a fool out of its host. I suppose there isn't any amount of manipulative editing that could make Fieri not seem like a bumbling buffoon.

This is a great show - with one exception. Guy Fieri cannot seem to get through a show without letting us see the contents of his mouth while chewing and raving about what he's just eaten. I understand it's supposed to be a show about casual fare, but weren't we all taught this basic rule when we were kids? Perhaps a little editing would be in order, so that I can watch it without losing my appetite. Aside from that, he's enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He's not so much a reviewer as he is a cheerleader for these places. This show makes me want to go on a DDD road trip, but please Guy, swallow your food before you talk about it! I know people who won't even watch anymore because of this.
