What would you do with Triple D?

We always play this little game when we watch The Food Network , whether it’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives or The Best Thing I Ever Ate … which places in and around Spokane are TV-worthy?

This morning, Lori Hutson with The Spokesman—Review’s Fresh Sheet posted this:

Food Network eyeing Inland Northwest for ‘Diners, Drive-ins and Dives’

It’s true. That Food Network guy with the signature white blond spike has plans to roar up to the diners, drive-ins and dives of the Inland Northwest this summer.

Producers for Guy Fieri’s “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” began sniffing around for suggestions starting in April and have been in contact with several area restaurants. However, the restaurants appear to have been sworn to secrecy (although a few have been hinting) and public relations officials for the Food Network aren’t saying anything just yet.

If the Food Network had called you for suggestions about which local restaurants to feature on “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives,” what would you have suggested?

Drop me a line at lorieh@ spokesman.com or call (509) 459-5446 and leave a message.

So, give Lori a call or shoot her an email. But let us here at Fabulocity know which places you would have singled out, too!

Me? Hmmm … off the top of my head, I’d have to give props to Dick’s for being SO SPOKANE. And The Globe totally gets my vote for the World’s Best French Fries. And I’m pretty sure my life would be a completely different place had I not gotten acquainted with the Pork Chop Sandwiches at Chattee’s. Ooooh, and the burgers at Ron’s. And the breakfast specials at Dave’s. And the French Toast at Chaps. Then there’s the magic hangover cure (pancakes and hashbrowns) at the Sattelite. The milkshakes at the Milk Bottle. The Monte Cristo at Frank’s …

Seriously, I could go on and on with a season’s worth of programming, and I’m not even hungry right now. Imagine the list I could come up with if my stomach was growling.
