VANCOUVER -- TV personality Guy Fieri sat in a shiny red Camero on Hastings Street in downtown Vancouver this afternoon, revving the engine while filming a scene for his travelling foodie show, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

The flashy Food Network star, who also hosts gameshow Minute To Win It, is taking a culinary tour of this city in what is the show's first hop over the U.S. border.

When asked about is opinion of Vancouver, Fieri raved: "I mean, I wish I could give you a real quick sentence to kind of wrap it all up, but I'll just pick one word: Outrageous."

"I mean, it really is a fantastic place to come. I came here for the Olympics, I came here for a buddy's wedding, both times were fall/winter, but this time of the year is … outstanding. We rode around Stanley Park, we've had great weather… it's just been great."

The Sun caught up to him at the corner of Hastings and Burrard, where he was taste-testing dishes at the FreshLocalWild food cart.

Fieri will hit roughly eight locations throughout the city, wrapping up Friday evening.

The bleach-blonde rocker arrived in Vancouver Wednesday night to sunny skies and warm temperatures. He is travelling with his crew and childhood buddy Gary Viggers.

Viggers said they took a bicycle ride around Stanley Park on Wednesday night and were blown away by how friendly Vancouverites are.

"It was a really nice day, it was beautiful out. Everybody's been so friendly," said Viggers. "People were really nice to us on the street."
