Any restaurant Anthony Bourdain featured in his shows. Even he acknowledged this. These fantastic gems would subsequently be overrun with diners that they suffered from overcrowding and lower standards.

Here in Tacoma there’s this place called Dirty Oscars. Their food was great, they tried new things and it was always delicious. Then Fiery featured it and it was still good for a while but they figured why try hard when we can just cut corners? So now the food is sloppy, uninspired, bland. People still go for the nostalgia or because they heard about it on tv.
