Bon Appetit

Have you ever seen those shows on TV that make you hungry? You know, you’re sitting on the couch surfing the normal channel wave when all of a sudden you see some mouth watering dish at a random restaurant that you have never heard of.

There are two different channels that boast four shows in particular that scavenge the country for these diamond in the rough restaurants: Man vs. Food, Extreme, and Food Paradise on the Travel channel, and Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives on the Food Network.

These restaurants are not by any means fancy or expensive, but tasty nonetheless. As I slowly got addicted to watching these shows I thought to myself “I wish there was somewhere I could go where all of these restaurants were organized by state.” That way, anytime I was visiting a friend or in a big city I would have a list of the best reasonably priced restaurants in the area, the local favorites.

I decided to make one of these lists myself. Now, no matter where I am in America I will have the advantage of knowing the best restaurants names, cities, and websites.

How would you like to visit a friend in Chicago and take him to the best place he never has heard of? Now you can. And the best part about it is that our friends at the Food Network and Travel Channel did all the work for us.

If you think you know a really great, unique restaurant that is not on listed, I encourage you leave a post. These shows continue to come out with more restaurants they profile which I will continue to add, but there are thousands of restaurants to choose from.

I’m sure you will see a few franchised restaurants on the list that you may think don’t belong on it. The fact is, the locations of the franchised restaurants are their original locations, and therefore much better than any of the franchised ones. Pizzeria Uno’s in Chicago is an example, I have eaten there myself and it is far and away better than any of its franchised locations.

About half way through compiling the list I stopped listing the phone numbers of the restaurants. I figured if you are reading this blog and have access to the website, you are probably capable of finding the phone number if you need it.
