Diners drive ins and dives falmouth ma episode

"Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" is one of Food Network’s most popular series, taking viewers from coast to coast to visit some of America’s classic "greasy spoon" restaurants.

The show’s host, Guy Fieri, is one of the most recognizable celebrity chefs, as well as a restaurateur who opened his new Boston eatery, Guy Fieri's Boston Kitchen + Bar, back in December. 

Since its premiere in 2007, "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" has featured hundreds of eateries, several in Massachusetts.

And with season 36 of the series kicking off this month, we thought we’d take a look back at the 30-plus Bay State eateries featured on the show. While some of the restaurants have closed since their episodes aired, the majority remain open for business.
