Talk:Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives

message: Do we want to list the various restaurants, etc. featured on the show?  Currently Food Network has a listing but I can see this going away, particularly when they get beyond a single year.  If no one objects, I'll write the section.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gahnzz (talk • contribs) 19:39, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

text: I saw an episode that Is not yet listed.  I don't remember the name of the episode, but one of the restaurants was a burger place in St. Paul, MN called Nook's.  I would add it to the list myself, but I don't know the episode info.  Is anyone still keeping up with this list?  Maybe a date should be added to show when the list was last updated.12.216.168.178 (talk) 18:01, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Looking over this closer, I think the entire list should be removed per WP:NOT and WP:SPAM.  I think it would be helpful to get opinions from editors that have a great deal of experience with tv show articles.  Is there a wikiproject that's related? --Ronz (talk) 21:15, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a general tv project and that's it. I'm going to remove the list. It's unencyclopedic and essentially serves as a promo or link farm. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 06:05, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

text: I added a link to the Foodtv site that has the list of places visited. Much better than listing them here. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 06:11, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

text: Might as well go for Speedy Delete since the entire article is pointless now. Don't remove content. Improve it. 2.107.11.94 (talk) 10:27, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

text: We would create an episode list, not a list of every place (with address) that the show visited. There's just no reason for it given that the website has the information. An episode guide would be fine but this wasn't an episode guide. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 08:41, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

text: Other point to make is that Wikipedia is not a travel guide. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 17:49, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

message: There is a book now, "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. An All-American Road Trip . . . with Recipes!"
http://www.harpercollins.com/books/9780061724886/Diners_Driveins_and_Dives/index.aspx. It's been on the New York Times bestseller list. Should it be included with this article?

thread_title:  The Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives book 

message: Do we employ the Oxford comma or not? Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives redirects to Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives...but the image in the infobox has no comma after diners (likely inferred behind the sign), and a comma after Drive-Ins...and we have List of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives Episodes.  So which is it? --ColonelHenry (talk) 23:11, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Oxford Comma or not

message: The section on the show's premise isn't so much wrong as not quite right.  When the episode's theme is where to get great food in a specified city or region, all of the establishments featured are in that area.  However, if the theme's a specific type of food, or cooking style, the episode goes all over the country.  As an example, if the theme's Mexican food, you might find a Mexican restaurant in New England and one in Wisconsin along with one in the Southwest or in California.
