Guy Fieri

Guy Fieri's popular TV show has been shown all over America and has made several stops in Illinois.

When it comes to finding the best eats in Wisconsin, there’s only one name you need to know: Guy Fieri. With his spiky blonde hair and larger-than-life personality, the Mayor of Flavortown has declared one legendary diner the ultimate stop for comfort food in the Badger State.

Getting your restaurant featured on a popular TV show has got to be great for business.

Guy Fieri has visited many Illinois places for his TV show over the years and not all of them have been in Chicago.

There's only one place in Illinois where bands are edible and food celebrity Guy Fieri found it. As a matter of fact, he ate Black Sabbath that day and good times were had by all.

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.

You would think that having TV food celebrity Guy Fieri visit your diner would be a pot full of gold. He's visited many eateries in Illinois, but there are a half dozen who had to close their doors after he stopped by.

You would think being featured on one of TV's most famous food series would make a restaurant a huge success. For some that's certainly true, but of the 9 Wisconsin places featured on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, not all survived.

Guy Fieri sure has visited plenty of restaurants in Illinois.

Make sure you don't read this while hungry.
