Food Network Is Making Me Fat
I’m convinced that Food Network’s Diners, Drive-ins and Dives is directly responsible for about 15 pounds of my extra weight.
You know the show… The one staring Guy Fieri - where he drives around the country and visits, well, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. During each visit we get to witness 15-inch chilidogs, 5-pound cheeseburgers, eggs fried every way imaginable, and practically anything and everything that can be smothered with melted cheese, and/or deep fried.
Man, I love this show.
The problem is, it’s usually on TV around midnight when I catch it. And that’s also around the time I start getting hungry. Being a little bit hungry while watching this show is very dangerous.
Usually by the first commercial break I’m in the kitchen, trying to dig up something fattening. Sadly, I usually find something to satisfy my appetite, at the expense of my weight.
But I never find anything that looks quite as good as what I’m seeing at the diners.
One thing is for sure, Guy Fieri has the most excellent job in the world.
