Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives “Blast from the Past”

This episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is all about being old-fashioned.
First stop is the Nickel Diner in Los Angeles. The Nickel Diner was an old 1940’s diner that was brought back to life by two friends, who are now the owners of Nickel Diner. This diner is known for its fried catfish dish, mac and cheese and home-made pastries. One of their most interesting deserts is the bacon covered donuts.

Second stop is Sam LaGrassa’s in downtown Boston. Sam LaGrassa’s is a family run business that’s been around for 40 years. A few of their best dishes are the chipotle/pastrami sandwiches (they sell around 1300 sandwiches a day) and their clam chowder.

Third stop is the Cattlemen’s Steak House in Oklahoma. This steak house has been serving the same steaks, salads (and dressing), and desserts for more than 80 years… and it’s been around for 99 years. Along with their steaks Guy tried the calf brain & egg dish, which he didn’t like. Their salad dressing recipe which was passed down from the previous owner looks awesome. After seeing what goes in it, I can tell it’s definitely not a healthy dressing, but it still looks good.

I love that Guy Fieri added Alaska and Hawaii to the list Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Not
sure why he doesn’t visit Colorado as I don’t see it on the map. We went to Chicago over the
New Years and visited all those places. Frosted Mug was closed and the Mac and Cheese at
Dell Rheas Chicken Basket was extremely fattening and good!
