It seems that everyone is a critic especially on the internet and I don't want to be one of those. However, even though Guy Fieri has taken his Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives show to 27 Missouri places, there are many classic places he's missed in our state.

That is an impressive list as Guy Fieri has featured Missouri a lot on his show. However, he almost never veers out of the big cities like Kansas City and St. Louis. What about Columbia, Springfield or some of the many historic diners along Route 66? Considering the fact that diners is what his brand is all about, I'm surprised there aren't more small Missouri places that have been included. Perhaps this could be passed along to Guy Fieri as a hint?
