The Salsa Brava restaurant on Route 66 in Flagstaff, Ariz., was featured on the Food Network’s popular “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” program on Monday night, reported the Arizona Daily Sun.
According to the Food Network Web site, the segment, “Return to Route 66,” is an eastward tour of Route 66, with stops at Salsa Brava, billed as a “family-style restaurant serving scratch-made Southwest favorites,” a diner in Albuquerque and a “joint” in Chicago. […]
“Diners, Drive- ins and Dives,” affectionately called “Triple D” by regular viewers, is hosted by Guy Fieri, who was given his own show in 2006 when he beat out seven other contestants during season two of “The Next Food Network Star.”
The other two Route 66 restaurants were the Standard Diner in Albuquerque and Del Rhea’s Chicken Basket in Willowbrook, Ill., according to the show’s Web site.
According to the Daily Sun:
Guests intently watched the segment as Conley and Fieri whipped up some killer salsas and stuffed poblano peppers with shrimp and lobster.
They gave the Conleys big applause when it was over.
The episode will air again at 9 and 9:30 p.m. Eastern on Friday and 3 and 3:30 p.m. Eastern on Sunday.
In a previous season, “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” has featured the Route 66 restaurants of Cafe on the Route in Baxter Springs, Kan.; Clanton’s Cafe in Vinita, Okla., and Rock Cafe in Stroud, Okla. The Rock Cafe is closed because of a fire, but should reopen by summer.
I’ve been to Del Rhea’s and it’s fabulous!
