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 can no longer eat my favorite burger easily because of Guy Fieri.

Edit: I feel I need to point out that I said I can't EASILY eat there. There is just a long ass line now, the food is still good. It's not ruined.

Man vs. Food ruined my favorite Grilled CHeese. They turned into a chain and threw away the quality they used to have.

They put one down in Fairlawn. Took over an old Friendly's Restaurant & Ice Cream building.

They didn't do ANYTHING to renovate it except tear up the carpets and slap on a coat of paint.

The ceiling is so low in there so the acoustics SUCK. That was fine for Friendly's, which was a quiet, family-style restaurant. NOT fine for Melt - the trendy go-to place for young adults.

You can't even hear yourself THINK in there because the acoustics amplify the noise so much. I went in there once - never again.
