Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Comes to Lansing

Back in October of 2021, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives made its way through Lansing, stopping at a few restaurants along the way. This time around, they stopped at restaurants that they've visited before, including;

  • Meat BBQ in Old Town
  • Joe's Gizzard City in Potterville
  • Eastside Fish Fry in Lansing
  • Zaytoon Mediterranean in Lansing

At that time, we knew to expect to see these new episodes after the New Year, but that was the only word on the matter. Now, we have an exact date, at least for one restaurant's episode...

Eastside Fish Fry!

Triple D Stops at Multiple Lansing Restaurants

So make sure you mark it on your calendar. This Friday, February 11th at 8 pm Central time, which translates to 9 pm Eastern time.

So far, of all the restaurants that Triple D stopped at during its last visit, this is the first episode we have an air date for. We'll keep a lookout for the other dates and let you know when you can tune in for those. Until then, take a look at the gallery below to see all the Michigan restaurants that have been featured on the Food Network thus far.

Plus, we have some suggestions for the next time Guy Fieri brings his red convertible through Lansing. Check out which Lansing restaurants we think should be featured on Triple D.

The Lansing restaurants listed below are gems of the city. If you haven't been to all of them yet, add them to your list. We think Guy Fieri should add them to his list as well so he can feature them the next time he comes back to Lansing for Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

EAST LANSING, Mich. — East Side Fish Fry & Grill will be featured on the Food Network, again.

The owner, Henry Meyer, went from prison to having his restaurant featured on the Food Network for the second time.

"I think it's really important that the world sees that, just because you've made some bad mistakes in your past, you can make better choices and you know, have better outcomes in the future," Meyer said.

East Side Fish Fry & Grill was featured on an episode of "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" back in 2017. Now five years later, the Lansing restaurant will be featured on the spin-off show, "Triple D Nation," on Friday, Feb. 11 at 9 p.m.

Meyer hopes the episode will bring more exposure to the business.

"It gives us an opportunity to hire more people and get more people some jobs and you know, keep them out of trouble," he said.

Meyer says he wouldn't be anywhere without his team. So when you take a bite of their chicken or tune in to the Food Network— just know it took a village.
