I have been to Primanti Bros. I have been to the Vortex in Atlanta, GA (I am pretty sure that was on there, I know man vs food was there but I think Guy went as well??)
I am hitting Metro Diner in Jacksonville, Fl tomorrow. I have also been to Blue Boy Sandwich Shop in Jacksonville which Guy visited during his taping of Metro Diner but it wasn't on the show, should be though!!

Anyone been to any of the places?

My favorite show period. I love to see all the local fare and the families who make those places so special

Some place at Purdue University in West Lafyette. A breakfast place, not sure of the name.

Ive been told some other places Ive been too have been on a show (mostly NYC and Chicago), but I have no clue what show or channel. I dont even remember the places. I think one in Chicago was a hot dog place frequented by Vince Vaughn.

This Metro Diner today was fantastic! I had chicken and waffles. Best fried chicken I've ever had! Waffles light and crispy with fresh blueberries and strawberries. My girl had the Pittsburg Salad fresh greens topped with blue cheese, sirloin steak, and french fries amazing!

Went to one in Tacoma, WA when I lived in Seattle, it sucked. Then have been to two here in the Charlotte area and they both sucked :( Melt is the bomb though. Also have been to Thurman's and Quaker Steak, both good.

On your students? :) Glad we're getting more teachers hooking up now, this place was getting boring.
