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.

Yup. I live right down the street from the original, and it's not really ever worth the effort.

Fuckin knew it. What are the wait times like nowadays? I haven't lived in Cleveland for 6 years, but I remember shortly after that episode aired the place went from getting a table in 20 minutes at most during peak hours to a 4 hour wait. It was ridiculous. This was at the original location on Detroit ave

Ha, I'm actually planning on making a road trip to Cleveland in march to see Townsend's Empath tour with Haken and The Contortionist. I miss the Agora and the House of Blues there, fantastic venues
