If the owner really called in Stakeout for this I would be pretty upset as an owner. Diegel even called the manager during the filming to set this up.Barry Jacobsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-7435198922293402462013-09-22T14:04:14.446-04:002013-09-22T14:04:14.446-04:00Have always loved FN but hate the fake stuff.

It's sort of like watching pro wrestling. What I can't figure out is why FN doesn't do a show like DDD on higher class restaurants.rjvnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-59372072294871222582013-09-13T13:07:19.692-04:002013-09-13T13:07:19.692-04:00Thanks for the info..

We’ll see how they perform in the coming weeks.<br /><br /> With these shows FN is going after the TruTV/Spike TV viewer and not its traditional cooking or competition show base. So far, ‘Mystery Diners’ has been a show that’s been performing extremely well, Friday or Wednesday and even on reruns late at night, and it’s proving that it<br />can sustain by itself anchoring a night, without much support from DDD or other show.ny1221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-82221934013395965072013-09-12T09:13:54.550-04:002013-09-12T09:13:54.550-04:00FAKE!!!!!

How do these shows make it on when things like "The Next Food Network Star" award winners and then don't give them a show? What's the point of that when they just run crap like this? I would rather watch "Chopped" and "Unwrapped" reruns for the rest of my life.
