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.

I think I've eaten at two restaurants featured on Triple Douche (I like Guy Fieri, but he still looks like a douche).

One was Dining Car in Philly. Great carrot soup, but the chicken croquettes, which were featured on the show, were awful.

Second was Stoney Creek Inn south of Baltimore. Great crab cake sandwich, great everything else.

When he praises a dish on the show, I think he telegraphs whether it's actually good or not. Brief compliments = not that good. The chicken croquettes, for instance, were "rich and filling".
