Guy Fieri

It is one of the biggest cooking contests on Food Network, it's Guy Fieri's Tournament of Champions and a local Jersey Shore Chef is just a couple of dishes away from winning the grand prize of "Champion" and $100,000

There's also one in Harrah's in Atlantic City.

Guy Fieri and his muscle-car convertible have been to well over 1,300 restaurants across the United States. Since his "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" debuted in 2007, he's hit a lot of New Jersey restaurants.

I asked for suggestions of establishments that deserve a visit from Guy and his Camaro on Facebook. Not surprisingly, the response was off the chart.

Your place has to have a secret sauce for Guy to pop in. He’s looking for big flavor, a bigger personality, and locals who would swear by the food. He got all that and more with his pick in Robbinsville.

Guy Fieri loves the Atlantic City area. He's been here a number of times for his show, "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives."

So what is Guy Fieri’s secret sauce? New Jersey is literally obsessed with him. I’ve seen the proof. All we have to do is write about him and our ratings go through the roof. So I did a deep dive into who the hell this Guy really is to figure out why we all want to be his BFF.

Food Network's Guy Fieri has become the authority on good eating. Every restaurant that he walks into no doubt wants his approval. I'm just going to say it, Guy is the Food Network's answer to Oprah.

The Food Network's Guy Fieri will once again be bringing his "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" to South Jersey this week as Carluccio's will again be featured on the show.

Guy Fieri is the last word in street food. Leave the fine-dining to someone else please. When you want to know where to go to get real stick-to-your-ribs-food, then Guy is your guy. Even more than that, Guy knows real food lives in Jersey, that's why he keeps coming back.

It’s usually midnight when you are flipping through the channels and BOOM! There is Guy Fieri enjoying something delicious on “Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives” and you are completely filled with two thoughts. One, “I need a snack, stat!" and “Where is the closest one of these restaurants to me? I need to go this weekend”.

If you know anything about me at all, you know that I love food.  I love watching food on TV almost as much as I love eating it... 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives' is one of my favorites on the Food Network and we've had a lot of local spots featured on the show!
