Triple D!

We had such a fun day today as we went up to Salt Lake to Ruth's Diner to watch them film an episode of Diner's, Drive-In's and Dives! It was very interesting to see how it all gets put together and how they decide what shots to do, etc. The host, Guy Fieri was there and very involved with all of the shots and interviews. I was surprised he didn't just sit back and wait until it was his turn on camera.
We got there around 11 and they started filming around 11.30. We sat in a section that was just for the people that emailed the show to tell them about Ruth's so Guy knew who to talk to. He interviewed a few of us including my family! He asked Alex to give him knucks but Alex was a bit shy. Samantha had no problem doing it though and has talked all day about "giving the spiky haired guy knucks!". Guy talked to Andy and I about our food and how long we'd been coming to Ruth's at which point I told him we were fairly new customers since we just moved back to Utah after living in the Diner capital of the world, New Jersey. I told him that this diner was better than any in Jersey I'd been to and he liked that I was sassy and offered a throwdown. We'll see if any of it makes it into the show, but hopefully the cute kids will seal the deal! We were half way home when the producer called us and asked us to come back for some additional shots of us eating. We were so full and not in the mood but we went back anyways and they got some great footage of the kids eating and laughing. The guy with the mike was hilarious and making the kids laugh while not looking at the camera.
It turned into a long afternoon but the kids fell asleep in the car on the way home so all was well!
I'm not sure when the episode will air, but I heard Guy tell someone usually about 5-6 weeks. If I find out beforehand I'll post the date on here. I know you're all DYING to see it and make fun of us!!
