Topeka, Kansas: Bobo's Drive-In on Guy Fieri's 'Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives'

I love Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives for seeing the restaurants. Guy is good at giving a good feel of the places, but he is a little much. It is obvious that he does love the places he goes to.

Squirrel: The Eco-Friendly Meat du Jour?

Eddie doesn't eat squirrel anymore since he found out they were high in cholesterol.

Wedding Eats

The best wedding reception food I have ever had was at my sister's wedding reception.
Fajitas and margaritas.

It was at Las Alamedas in Houston, TX. which is a Mexican restaurant. It is a big beautiful building with windows all along the back dining room that looks out into woods and a bayou. We had the whole restaurant.

What are you known for?

The two things I get begged to make:

Chicken Enchiladas

Brownies- I get the chocolate from candy bars 1/2 dark, 1/2 Hershey bar

I really like making pizza from scratch and slow roasted roast beef.

I request sliders for myself I am the only one I make them for. My sloppy joes are so spicy my family won't allow me to make them anymore

From Talk

Favorite Food Network Show and Chef

I like Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. I like to see the restaurants. Guy is a little too much.

I learn the most from Alton Brown, Tyler Florence, and Michael Ciarello(?) I learned the greatest way to make meatballs from him. Paula Deen I try her recipes sometimes. I like to watch Nigella, Giada and Rachel Ray though I don't try too many of their recipes.

Ina Garten fixed radish sandwiches for a housewarming meal. I'll pass.
She is a good cook but I'm not interested in most of what she cooks.

I'd like to have Bobby Flay's outdoor patio.

Tuna. In a Can. Love it or Hate it?

Love it.

I get the packed in water, who needs the calories and dump the water. I use a tablespoon of Miracle Whip per can. I like to put chopped tomatoes in mine. I will also put celery if I have it and sweet pickle relish.

I like it best on whole wheat toast. Sometimes with cheddar cheese. Maybe even a couple of slices of bacon.

When I was in the hospital, I got sick of the breakfast they served and had them bring me tuna and tomato slices instead.

Serious Sandwiches: Merguez Frites

In New Orleans French Fry po boys are are favorite with the locals.

Peanut Butter and Jelly: A Serious Eats Special Report

I like peanut butter on toast. No jelly ever. I do like bacon bits, crushed potato chips or cheddar cheese.

What's the Best Mexican Food Town in the U.S.?

Houston.

I think there are more Mexican food restaurants here than gas stations.

From Talk

What side is your bread mayo'd on

Both.

If I am making a sandwich with meat and cheese and miracle whip. ( don't care what you think. I like Miracle Whip) I even spread a little between the meat and cheese.

Hamburgers- both sides mustard or mustard on top, bbq sauce on bottom. The only time I leave the bread dry is when I put on guacamole.

What's the Best Mexican Food Town in the U.S.?

Houston? What you have there is Tex-Mex. Chicago? I think not. I have lived in both cities. San Diego, CA which is 15 miles north of the Mexican border by far, has the best Mexican in the US. Old Town is dedicated to offering you one Mexican restaurant after another in addition to all the other Mexican restaurants and taco stands located around the city. Real Mexican food is found there.

Anthony Bourdain on Guy Fieri:

"Guy Fieri... did you ever see the Simpsons episode where it's decided that Itchy and Scratchy need a sidekick? So a committee gets together and they invent one called Poochie.... Guy Fieri kind of looks like he's been designed by committee."

This is kind of funny if you watch the Simpsons.

@RavingRecipesCom: I actually didn't see Guy Fieri in action. I saw this on TV/web video. I guess it may sound as if I saw him in action, but really, when I mention Bobo's, it's from past experiences there. I went to school at the University of Kansas, about 40 minutes away, and had friends from Topeka, which is how I found out about Bobo's.

I LOVE Guy! His show is one of my absolute favorites on Food Network. My husband and I watch it all the time! How lucky you are to have seen him in action! I wish I could travel around and visit all of these terrific places! I would definitely be in Heaven! I really enjoyed this blog, as I am a hamburger fanatic! Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, Guy can sometimes be a little over the top, but his enthusiasm is infectious and keeps the show fast paced. Don't think it woulld be the success it is without him.

"I've never been to a TGIF to eat (I had a drink there with friends one night). I think "Chotchkies" from "Office Space" ruined it for me, or more likely saved me from it."

You don't really need to. Just stop at the local grocery store and pick up a frozen prepped meal and stick it in the microwave at home. Much cheaper that way.

Bobo's is in my book Hamburger America. They have the best onion rings I've ever had.

I'd like to try the burgers there. The most amazing thing is the loyalty of the employees. It's hard for me to fathom working for someone else at a fast food joint for over 30 years. They seem like wonderful people though.

Yeah. I agree, Eatorama. He really does seem to have a sincere enthusiasm for the food and places.
