The Wienery was featured on "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" as a top-notch hot dog spot.

Market Bar-B-Que

1414 Nicollet Ave. S. - Minneapolis

The good folks at Market taught the hosts of "Road Tasted with the Neelys" a thing or two about smokin' ribs.

Bryant Lake Bowl and Cabaret Theater

810 W. Lake St. - Minneapolis

This hip Uptown staple caught the eye of "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" producers for its killer cuisine and unique location.

Loring Pasta Bar

327 14th Ave. S.E. - Minneapolis

612-378-4849

The eclectic menu offers many choices, but the pasta is the specialty at Loring Pasta Bar, and The Food Network's "Best of" show thought so too.

Casper and Runyon's Nook

492 S Hamline Ave - Saint Paul

651-698-4347

Casper and Runyon’s isn’t just a nook, it’s more of a hole-in-the-wall. The Nook cooks taught Guy Fieri about their Juicy Luicy.

Nina's Coffee Cafe

165 Western Ave. - St. Paul

651-292-9816

Housed in a historic building in St. Paul, Nina's café inspires creativity and the merging of old and new. It was a must stop for a thirsty Rachael Ray.

Al's Breakfast

413 14th Ave. S.E. - Minneapolis

612-331-9991

Hidden in the heart of Dinkytown lies one of the best breakfast spots in the Twin Cities, but they couldn't hide from "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives."

Psycho Suzi's Motor Lounge

2519 Marshall St. N.E. - Minneapolis

612-788-9069

The best drinks at Suzi’s are served in bamboo-inspired glassware with a plastic monkey on top; boy did Guy Fieri like them.

Victor's 1959 Cafe

3756 Grand Ave. - Minneapolis

612-827-8948

A little piece of Havana in southeast Minneapolis: it's Victor's 1959 Café, and it's no wonder Guy picked them for his "Big Flavors" episode of DDD.

Donatelli's

2692 East County Road E - White Bear Lake

651-777-9199

Donatelli's yummy meat sauce was enough to get them featured on DDD's Traditional Dishes episode.

Town Talk Diner

2707 E. Lake St. - Minneapolis

612-722-1312

Take your favorite diner up a few notches and you've got Town Talk Diner. The Food Network must have agreed.

Rachael Ray's Tasty Travels brought her to this popular bistro in downtown Minneapolis.

The Food Network was right at home at this trendy modern restaurant in the heart of Uptown.

Nye's Polonaise Room

112 E. Hennepin Ave. - Minneapolis

612-379-2021

With a menu full of grilled steaks, seafood and homemade Polish fare, it's no wonder the FN stopped by to check it out.

United Noodles Supermarket

2015 E. 24th St. - Minneapolis

612-721-6677

United Noodles carries over 8,000 items from Asian countries, making them one of the biggest Asian grocery stores in the Midwest. We're sure Rachel Ray stocked up before leaving town for more Tasty Travels.

Modern Cafe

337 13th Ave. NE - Minneapolis

612-378-9882

A charming and nostalgic atmosphere lends itself well to this restaurant’s theme of old-fashioned American cuisine. Guy Fieri stopped by for the experience.

Emily's Lebanese Delicatessen

641 University Ave. N.E. - Minneapolis

612-379-4069

There are not many places you can go to in the Twin Cities and be served by four generations. DDD's featured Emily's on their "Something from Everywhere" episode.
