And no idea why people don't like him, seems like a decent enough guy.

word to the im. Love DDD -- nm - Beaker Feb 19, 16:20
I think people like what he covers in the show - foodie places you want to find -- nm - JenBro Feb 19, 15:54 18
- without judging on the quality of them, the places he goes are the opposite of "foodie". -- nm - Reagen Feb 19, 16:09 17
  - I think for the most part you are correct, but there are some gems tossed into the mix. -- nm - JenBro Feb 19, 16:20
  - Depends on how narrowly you want to define foodie. -- nm - Stephen, signing his NLI to play for ST Feb 19, 16:17 10
    - to me the term implies some level of fine dining - Reagen Feb 19, 16:21 9
      - I ate at this place in Vegas last year. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Feb 19, 16:40 1
        
        It doesn't have to be foreign or expensive for you to care about how it's sourced and how it's prepared - con_carne Feb 19, 16:47
      - I don't think the fine dining aspect of things has been part of "foodie"-dom for years, not since there were more people called - b. Feb 19, 16:36 4

        None of which says being a foodie is confined to liking only the type of food served in 5 start restaurants. -- nm - Stephen Feb 19, 16:59
        
        I looked at the wikipedia entry after I posted. it agreed with me, so I didn't link. I knew someone would if there was disagreement oof any sort. - b. Feb 19, 16:55 1
        
        heh :) -- nm - Stephen Feb 19, 17:13
      - Sell there's the difference then ... I would consider the place in Nevada where they had 15 different Mole' sauces to be a "foodie" place - JenBro Feb 19, 16:28
      - Foodie is getting a broader definition. Adventurous eating is part of it. -- nm - tl Feb 19, 16:23
  - They're a mix. Some are neighborhood places that wouldn't show up on a list for tourists. - tl Feb 19, 16:13
  - Exactly. Don't make macaroni and cheese for dinner and then call yourself "a foodie." -- nm - con_carne Feb 19, 16:11 1
    - Have you even watched his show? - Stephen, signing his NLI to play for ST Feb 19, 16:19
  - to his credit, that's not always true. his attention to some places, and the added traffic it brings, has actually annoyed foodies in various areas. -- nm - b. Feb 19, 16:10 1
    - I didn't know that ... But am not surprised. -- nm - JenBro Feb 19, 16:23
I think the high-energy aspect of him is a huge turn-off for people -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 15:48 10
- I like him ok, in general; but I can't watch his cooking show much because the affectation-overload usually starts to grate quite fast. - b. Feb 19, 16:01 9
  - There was one episode of Guy's Big Bite where he put heads of romaine lettuce he cut in half and brushed with olive oil on a grill - JenBro Feb 19, 16:05 5
    - yeah, its great and I love to tease vegetarians coming to a BBQ saying, so'k I'll grill you a salad -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 19, 16:58
    - I've had something like that, and it was delicious. - b. Feb 19, 16:09 1
      - I honestly could not parody his recent stuff better than's been done here. -- nm - Reagen Feb 19, 16:10
    - Ooh... we've been making bleu cheese wedge salads at home lately... we'll have to try this when the grill comes out this spring! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 19, 16:08 1
      - Don't leave it on too long - and grill marks (charcoal) totally rock it (IMHO) - and if you keep the blue cheese chunks smallish and put - JenBro Feb 19, 16:39
  - Indeed. And, at least here in Canada, it seems that Food Network can't go for more than ten god damned seconds without showing him. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 16:02 2
    - My studio space in a block away from a restaurant featured on DDD, I keep running into Canadians looking for it when I'm locking up my bike. -- nm - tl Feb 19, 16:08 1
      - The three places we visited when I was in Chicago that Covington Cat found were awesome! -- nm - JenBro Feb 19, 16:46
