Ride Shotgun to Flavortown with Us
Guy Fieri in his almighty wisdom has spent decades touring the country in search of the best diners, drive-ins and dives. Not to boast, but he’s been to Palm Beach County quite a few times over the years. There’s no better time to hit a few of the featured spots than during a staycation, but first, see what Guy thought. Anyone have a red convertible we can borrow?
