Michigan Restaurant to Appear on The Food Network This Week

Michigan has some great local restaurants, and The Food Network has been in the Great Lakes State many times to report on those fine establishments. It's always exciting to see your neighborhood restaurant on national television, so it's with great pleasure that I bring you the news that another favorite Michigan spot is going to be featured on The Food Network this week.

Guy Fieri has been in Michigan a lot lately. He's brought his "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" show to a bunch of spots in the past year, including Capital City BBQ, The Cosmos Wood-Fired Pizza, Joe's Gizzard City and more.

Now, we can add one more restaurant to that list: Zaytoon Mediterranean Grill in Lansing, on the city's west side. This isn't the first time Zaytoon Mediterranean Grill has been on The Food Network, actually. Fieri was there about five years ago, with the famous personality highlighting the eatery's popular shawarma on "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives." Now, Zaytoon is going to get the spotlight on a related program, "Triple D Nation." The show is a spinoff of the original Triple D, which highlights restaurants that have already been on The Food Network to give them another push. The show will air this Friday (April 8) at 9 p.m., according to Zaytoon.

"Triple D Nation" was in Lansing last fall, stopping at not only Zaytoon, but also Meat BBQ in Old Town, Joe's Gizzard City in Potterville and Eastside Fish Fry in Lansing. The episode on Eastside Fish Fry already aired, so Zaytoon's is the second mid-Michigan eatery getting a slot. No word yet on when the episodes highlighting Joe's Gizzard City and Meat BBQ will air.

Michigan has so many great restaurants, that it's no big surprise that the state has been featured on The Food Network at bunch. Read below for a list of the restaurants that have been featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" that hail from the Mitten. Where would you like to see the network go next?

"Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives," hosted by Guy Fieri on the Food Network, is one of the most popular shows for food lovers. There's just something super entertaining about Fieri, and the show is so fun to watch. What's extra cool is that Fieri has come to Michigan multiple times and picked local restaurants to highlight on the show.

TVFoodmaps.com has compiled a full directory of all the restaurants that have appeared on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives." Think of this as a list of spots every Michigan food lover should visit. Some of these restaurants are familiar to me, like Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger, while others I are not. My parents actually live just a few miles from Zaytoon Mediterranean in Lansing, Michigan, and I had no idea they were featured on the show until now. They do have some great Miditerranean food. Which are your favorite Michigan spots that you think should be featured on the show? Reach out to me on social media and give me some recommendations!
