I've been to Chef's Point Cafe near Ft Worth. It was really good.

Also went to Bluewater Seafood Market and Grill in San Diego. The best fish tacos I've ever had.

I can't watch it. The douchebag with the frosted tips, sunglasses on back of head, tribal tattoos and sons named 'Hunter' and 'Ryder" ruins it for me.

Most of the places he's been to in Memphis are pretty damn good.

Rendezvous: probably the best known place he went to, but honestly probably the worst of them all.
Toms BBQ: really really good bbq. Makes some really good rib tips. Original owner was Greek and the bbq is seasoned accordingly. Adds a different flavor that is really really good.
Gus's Fried Chicken: best fried chicken I've ever had.

and yes, I get really hungry when I watch it

It's a good show and he's a solid host despite the fact that you hate the way he looks

At this point, I bet he feels like he has to keep that look, since it his thing. If he didn't bleach and spike his hair, and shaved that hideious excuse of a circle beard off his fat face, he'd probably not be a recognizable host and wouldn't get the work.

How so? Because he goes "Yummmm" after everything he tastes. He doesn't just look like a douch, he acts like one. I've even seen him try and play a tough guy a few times.

It takes very little effort to host that show.

Guy looks like a tool, but he does a good job hosting the show. If he didn't say shite like "that's capital T tender," and "that's takin me to flavor town," I don't think people would find him as annoying. But really, you can only say something's good so many times on so many shows before you run out of things to say that sound original. I like him most when you can really tell he likes something, or really appreciates the care that people put into making something. I hate it when he acts like a bitch if gets some flour on one of his thousand bowling shirts.

I've been to Louie and the Red Headed Lady, Surrey's, Parasol's, The Red Lion Pub, and Kenny and Ziggy's Deli.

He does look like a douche, but it's part of his image now and he can't change it.

Regardless of whether you like the guy or not, he knows his food. And he does a great job hosting the show.

Ive been to all the Cleveland ones.

Geracis is one of my favorite restaurants in the city, and my favorite pizza in the world.

Lucky's cafe is pretty good, but theyre are lots of other breakfast options that are better. Plus the place is over run by hipsters.

Melt sucks balls. Most over rated restaurant possibly in the world.

I have been to The Red Iguana, Ruth's Diner, and The Blue Plate Diner all in Salt Lake City (Parents live in Park City). Wasn't too fond of The Red Iguana as I have had better Mexican food in Texas but both the diners were very good. The Blue Plate Diner had amazing breakfast all day which was sweet and Ruth's had really good meatloaf. And yes Guy is a douche but at least he makes it entertaining most of the time. I have seen shows like that with a less interesting host and it wasn't very fun to watch.

I've been to Harold's Restaurant in Gaffney, SC and The Beacon Restaurant in Spartanburg, SC.

The Beacon is greasy food at its finest.

The guy does look like a douche, but he seems like an alright guy, even though I'm pretty certain he's worn a button up shirt with a dragon on it at some point in his life.
