Michigan Restaurants On Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives That Are Still Open
Everything about Guy Fieri is iconic: the sunglasses, the name, the hair, and the rotrod red car. "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives" has been a Food Network staple since 2007, and now the show is in its 55th season. Throughout this time, Guy has eaten nearly everything imaginable at various diners, drive-ins, and dives in all shapes and sizes around the country.
Guy has made his way to Michigan multiple times over the course of the show, and most of these restaurants he's highlighted still have their doors open after all these years. If you're looking for good places to eat, check out these stellar places below.
