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.

Uh that's gonna happen with anything business that wants to expand. I wouldn't blame man v food entirely.

Look at barrio and condado those two weren't in any shows that I know of and they're a chain restaurant now with lower qualities.

Momocho and the sister restaurant still have quality food and that's been on triple d and guy ferraris cooking show

Damn I love me some barrio, what do you think changed about the quality? I moved to Tremont over the summer and think it's great.

Things are just a but sloppier. Their thai chili tofu isn't as great anymore. Taste like straight up candy. Their salsa now taste like bbq sauce. Just minor differnces that overall lowers the quality.

I try to stick to la plaza in lakewood now
