I’m sure by now you’ve seen or heard that Guy Fieri of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives fame and his red Camaro were in El Paso this past March checking out our burgeoning food scene.

The spike-haired celebrity chef was spotted at several restaurants around town sampling some of our city eats. And while the self-proclaimed "Mayor of Flavortown," the network, or the restaurants he was seen and photographed in would not confirm they were here to film episodes of the popular Food Network show, it was obvious Flavortown was finally meeting Chuco Town.

Fast forward to the present. We now know which local eating spots are not only getting a turn in the national spotlight, but about to experience a surge in new customers as well.

As 93.1 KISS-FM was first to report, the Food Network recently rolled out its schedule for the new season of Fieri’s show set to premiere in July. Specific restaurants were not mentioned, but the hints were strong enough that I have a pretty good idea which ones they are.

I matched known sightings while he was in town with the episode descriptions, as well as restaurant menus, photos of walls graced with his likeness, and tips provided by my vast, unpaid research department (a.k.a, our listeners), and I’m confident in declaring these are the first El Paso eateries ever to be featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.
