How many different people, place, and restaurants can fuggup jambalaya, gumbo, red beans around this nation. Sheez... It's simple cuisine.
I was watching this last night and was thinking the exact same thing.
ETA: the tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes in the jambalaya made me want to yell at the tv. That's right, I said it.

The key is don't try and be a hero and do something special.
For some reason, everyone wants to be a hero
I actually like going to different places around the globe and trying their take on these dishes. It's all with the assumption that it's going to be nothing like the real thing, and I'm ok with that. Sometimes it's a totally different thing that can be awesome in its own right.
Now if you're within a 60 mile radius of Louisiana, I don't want some tomato veggie soup called gumbo. I need the real thing if I'm that close.

Are you trying to say the F&DB is fickle?

Guy has never not raved over a dish, I don't believe.
Well it's kind of his job to showcase and build-up smaller restaurants. Would be hilarious though if we just shite all over someone's special dish on national television though.
to be fair though, he only goes to places that are popular and very well regarded locally.

But that's the way to get it off the hook.

Uh no.
He goes anywhere that gets enough submissions and is funky.
A lot of places have had people make hundreds of submissions to get their place on there.
I'd say the average urbanspoon rating on his places trends in the low 70s.
When my wife and I road trip, we look up his food map, click a place, and then check the reviews for people saying where to go instead. More often than not, he missed the gem right down the street.

A cross between Guy and Jon Taffer would be amazing.

I stopped at "The Derailed Diner" between Pensacola and Mobile one time to get some lunch. Whilst perusing the menu my meth mouthed waitress Tina Jean sets into bragging on thier food and how they're gonna get Guy Ferrari from Triple D to come do a show on them. Told me to get on the Facebook and message Guy and the gang on thier behalf. I regretted to Tina Jean that I didn't have a Facebook but I would like the hamburger steak special and a side salad with ranch. TJ, after feinting a heart attack over the fact that I didn't have a Facebook, congratulated me on my hamburger steak selection and assured me I would love it and get a Facebook shorty after ingesting it so's I could message Guy Ferrari and sing its praises. I knew after the first minute or two of pilfering thru the wilted lettuce to dig out the ranch soaked processed cheese food clumps that my personal anti-social media pledge would remain intact. It was shortly confirmed by the frozen soy bean patty, canned green beans, and packet gravy coated box mash potatoes. I did my best to get as much of it down as I possibly could just because Tina Jean was flashing her mouth full of crickets smile at me eagerly awaiting my glowing review and subsequent transition to be "up with the times". But I knew there was no way I could lie to her, myself or Guy Ferrari about the atrocities I'd been served. With as much jovialness as I could muster I requested another sweet tea, dropped a $20 on the counter when she went to fill it, and bolted for the door. Luckily there's also a Hardee's on that exit.
