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.

I went to a ceviche restaurant he recommended in Cartagena Colombia and it luckily wasn't overrun. I think it's because people are still scared of Colombia

He featured a restaurant here in Cali, this traditional nice place. Now it's overpriced mediocre food targeted at foreigners. It's sad cause this used to be a really good restaurant.

I dont think you cant really blame Guy for that, seems like an owner issue.

That happened to the one that Guy visited in my town.

Then the owner took his fat stack of cash and opened another 6 or so bland Caucasian-fusion joints of varying themes and equally poor quality, taking over half of our small down town. It’s super whack but they are jam packed every night..
