Guy Fieri Goes To Arizona
Guy Fieri, host of the Food Network’s hit show “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,” has eaten at a number of restaurants in Arizona over the years.
“When it comes to food, Arizona’s got it going on,” said Fieri.
Arizona food does not get the respect of other cities such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco or even Las Vegas. People often think it is just quasi-Mexican food and bad BBQ.
But as Guy Fieri found out, Arizona has a lot to offer hungry people with a taste for the unusual. Here are the restaurants he has featured on his show:
Chino Bandido Takee Outee
Strange blend of both Chinese and Mexican food, and the ability to mix-n-match makes this a fun restaurant for the whole family.
