I just finished watching Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on Hulu, there was only partial season episodes for 3 seasons [25-27]. I watched them all in less than 2 days, I liked what I saw. My guess is that someone picked out the best sampling from those seasons. I used to cook in restaurants, I was a Chef a couple of times, so I understood what I saw. Cooking was my second most favorite occupation, I started cooking when I was 7 years old, not all the time but I knew it was what I wanted to do for a job. The places I worked didn't pay enough to make it a viable means of income so when I got married I needed to find a different type of work. I was familiar with a couple of the places I saw, [the ones in Reno, NV], I took a special interest in the BBQ sauce that was used in the Gold & Silver, The addition of grape jelly in the recipe was unique. Also the lemon juice used for the pork chops was an interesting item. I'll have to visit that place again and try out those dishes!
