Have You Been to any Triple D Places?

[RDR_BU]

Have you been to any restaurants from the series "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" (aka Triple D)? If so, how was your experience?

I have been to three:

1. Taco Taco in San Antonio, TX. This was a very good place for Tex Mex. Highly recommend it. Time for another road trip to San Antonio.
   
2. Black Duck Cafe in Westport, CT. This place was good but not great. Probably would not recommend it.
   
3. Valencia Luncheria in Norwalk, CT. I have been to this place several times and it is very good. The Arepas are great. Highly recommend it.

Steer Inn - Indianapolis...good food, nice waitress
Some place in Wisconsin (can't remember the name) - awesome lobster eggs benedict
Del Rhea's Chicken Basket - Westmont? Willowbrook? IL - best chicken EVER
Chucks BBQ - Burbank IL - pretty good, menu's changed since, though, so not sure today what it is like.
Some smokehouse joint in North Chicago - amazing

Some time ago, I asked my DH to stop and get take out from a place I saw on triple D.
It was ok, nothing great. Wasn't crazy about the bacon brownie at all.

No, but he was in my hometown (Pensacola) once vacationing and we had a few belts together.

We went to Rosine's in Monterey, CA. We were unaware that it was a Triple D location until we went in and they had a signed airbrushed poster of Guy in the entryway. My kids were all sorts of impressed! The food was excellent, huge portions (crazy big) and dessert was out of this world. Biggest cakes and pies I have ever seen in my life!

I'd have to see him without the sunglasses to say whether that was Guy Fieri or not. Doesn't look quite right.

I've been to one DDD place, in Springfield, IL.

Blow Fly Inn, Gulfport, MS - I have been eating here since I was a child. It was one of my grandmother's favorites - she liked the steak. If you go, try the fried dill pickles. I visited as recently as a few months ago, and my 12 year old DD went just this past weekend on a church youth group trip. When I was little, they would put a little plastic fly on your plate - that was a lot of fun. The building now is much less divey than it was before Katrina.

The Shed, Ocean Springs, MS - This is a really fun place to visit. We enjoyed the BBQ, and the prices were great. I ate there before it had the name recognition that it has now, and we also watched the TV series for this one when it was on.

I have more than likely been to some of the New Orleans dives, but I am more likely to recognize them by sight.

Is there a list of all the placs he has been?
Just curious

Hahahaha ... Waiting to see if anyone would see it. It's not It's a buddy of mine that looks very similar to him. We have a lot of fun with it at times. Good eye!!

Yes, on google.

A few.

The Glass Onion (Charleston SC) Shrimp Po'boy was yummy. Not overly impressed, though.

Tattooed Moose (Charleston SC) DH and I fought over the Lucky #1 Sub and the Thanksgiving Sammy. The duck fat fries were incredible (with both the garlic aoili and the gravy), and the homemade pickles.......ohhhhh heaven! DS lloved the corn dogs.

Metro Diner (Jacksonville FL) I don't really like grits, but I love their shrimp and grits version! Yo Halla on the Square is supposed to be good too, but I don't like hot bananas, so not my cup of tea.

Hob Nob Hill (San Diego, CA) Dh fell for their rhubarb muffins---and he doesn't like rhubarb! The omelets and pancakes were tasty.

We regularly go to Tocabe in Denver. It is so, so good.

I have been to Hogtown Vegan in Toronto (which may be the only vegan restaurant he has been to!). It's not a place I would go to often but they do have some very tasty food!

 

[barkley]

we have several nearby-some we had already tried before they were selected, some afterwards.

(Spokane)-chaps (building is WAY TOO NOISY, sound just bounces so it's like eating in a school cafeteria, food is o.k. but nothing like some of the competitors), elk house-AWSOME (and the quesadilla featured on the show is THE BOMB), picabu-eeehhh, very small limited menu-go there twice and you've had everything. (Coeur d'Alene Idaho)-jimmy's down the street-VERY GOOD, HUGE SERVINGS (cinnamon rolls take 4 people to eat one). In California-taylor's refresher in St. Helena-regular stop growing up, willie birds in Santa Rosa-never ate at the restaurant but they sold smoked turkey drumsticks at every big event in the area, and their retail business was THE place to order awesome smoked turkeys for the holidays.

I have been to a couple in Minneapolis and one in Cleveland

 

[msb578]

Kitty Hoynes, Pastabilities, and Funk 'N Waffles here in Syracuse. All good choices.

Thank you - we will be in Monterey for one night before our DLR trip and this sounds perfect for dinner!

This is off-topic, but I was watching The Best Thing I Ever Ate, and Ted Allen talked about these pickles called McClure. We were in TJ Maxx and they sell McClure Pickles so I had to get a jar. They were very tasty and cheaper than buying them off the website. DH thinks $5 is too much to pay for pickles, but he didn't realize that is what I was paying for smaller jars at The Farmers Market.
