Diners Drive-Ins and Dives
 
anyone ever see that show on the food network?
any places like that around here?

best bet is when you drive at around rural areas...like kelowna and stuff

Is that White Spot on Lougheed between Boundary & Willingdon still a drive-in?

aznrsx1979 04-07-2009 11:10 PM

I don't know of any in the Lower Mainland. Only drive-in I know is the movie theatre.

Probably won't be any in Vancouver. A number of cities are trying to eliminate drive thru's as well.

White Spot on Marine Drive and ..Ross in Vancouver does car lot.
Not a drive in, but they do come out and serve you the food on a big tray that goes through your windows.

There isn't even a place to eat inside, 100% Drive in only

there's a burger joint on main & 20 something, right beside Honolulu Cafe, that looks like 1 of those places Guy would visit.

There is this place in Abbotsford called "Burger-On." it's along South Fraserway by the Husky across an RV dealership. There is also this place I pass by Edmonds just passed Canada Way going towards 6th. I think it's called "50's Diner" or something.

Before, there used to be the "Rodeo-Inn" on Hwy 10 and 152nd st in Surrey and Wally's Burger on Kingsway before Nanaimo? Wally's had the best shakes ever. It was so thick and creamy mmmm.

I love that show. NEVER watch it when ur hungry. Oh man.. it kills you.

Anyone seen the episode where they steam the cheese on a flat top with ice for a Burger? omg..

evil_jigglypuff 04-11-2009 10:49 PM

Ahaha! so true. I watch it while I'm working out... LOL

Ever since seeing that episode, I try mimicking the melted cheese on the grill. I buy Kraft singles then grill it on a panini press just until it melts and gets a little crispy. :thumbsup:
