In June of 2020, Guy Fieri and his crew from Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives came to Sioux Falls and made quite a stir.

In case you've never been lured into an hours-long binge of the show on Food Network, Guy Fieri is the host of the show and he goes all over the nation searching out restaurants with lots of local flair.

He is known for stopping into 'Greasy Spoons' off the beaten path and trying out their signature dishes and visiting with locals.

Triple D has been on the air since 2006 visiting roadside diners, vintage drive-ins, and out-of-the-way "dives" with host Guy Fieri as he travels across America in search of some of the best out-of-way eateries.

When did Guy Fieri come to Sioux Falls?

Guy and crew were in Sioux Falls from about June 23 through 26, 2020 visiting and taping segments for his show.

The crew got enough footage from great restaurants in the 605 to make a whole episode of Triple D decided to South Dakota and for a couple of segments on other episodes.

Guy was joined on his Sioux Falls adventure by fellow celebrity chef Justin Warner who now lives in Rapid City, South Dakota.

While he was in town, Guy Fieri got a chance to meet and take a picture with some of Sioux Fall's finest. The Sioux Falls Police Department posted on Facebook:

"We're Riding the Bus to Flavortown" with a stop in Sioux Falls. Guy Fieri took the time to thank some SFPD Officers today for their service. Maybe next time he's in town he'll let us take his '67 Camaro out for a cruise!"

According to Dakota News Now and Sioux Falls Business Journal Guy and his Camaro were also making quite a splash at Looks Market on 69th Street.

In January 2021, after the episodes aired, Dakota News Now reported that all the South Dakota restaurants that made it on the popular TV show were doing a booming business.

Mulugeta Endayahu, the owner of Lalibela, told Dakota News Now at the time, “We see a lot of new people and we ask them, we see the show that’s why we came here, and you deserve to be on the show because of its good food."
