Guy Fieri

The restaurant business is extremely competitive so getting on a popular television show gives Illinois owners an advantage in the marketplace.

The sprawling waterfront home is the second place Guy Fieri has bought in Florida in less than three years.

Fifty diners, drive-ins, and dives around the country where Guy Fieri, the Mayor of Flavortown, has visited and this tiny diner was named the best in Wisconsin.

When you want an opinion on food, it's helpful to turn to the true professionals. When it comes to French fries, who better to declare the best fries in Illinois than TV food celebrity Guy Fieri who thinks he found the best in the Land of Lincoln hands down.

The list of diners, drive-ins and dives visited in Illinois by food celebrity Guy Fieri is long, but there can only be one "best". That place in the Land of Lincoln is a diner in Chicago that offers the most 'metal' burger you'll ever find (and that's a good thing).

I didn't realize that Diners, Drive-Ins, And Dives is into its 40th season of touring the country looking for the best home-owned joints in the country, but here we are.

You'd think with the robust amount of diners, drive-ins, and dives in Illinois, the show Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives would be here more often.

Here's what Guy thinks of the request...

As I've mentioned before, we're huge fans of Guy Fieri and Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives in my house, often leaving it on in the background as "comfort television." But, did you know that Guy and "Triple-D" have visited 40 Illinois restaurants?

The Chicago White Sox and fans at the 'MLB Field of Dreams' in Iowa game will get to try a new Guy Fieri creation that combines two very American foods.
