Improbable as it sounds, somebody is a bigger fan of Chocolate Rain than I am.
A few Phoenix-area restaurants are getting good coverage on the Food Network’s Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. Recent episodes have featured Matt’s Big Breakfast, Thee Pitts Again, and Roberto’s Mexican Food. Rumor has it that Joe’s Farm Grill (located mere minutes from November 1973 global headquarters) will be on an upcoming show. All of these have been added to my culinary road map.

April 11th, 2008 at 11:30 amOkay, I have it set up for First Runs only, but I might have to go with record all for a bit. I guess Kristin had the french toast from there every day of her vacation, they showed it on the show, but didn’t detail it, so she was disappointed.
