I LOVE Guy and have been wanting to order this cookbook. Do you have it and if so do you like it?
 
No, but I'd love to eat in a bunch of those DD&Ds!
 
I don't have it yet, but I was looking at it during my last Costco trip.. it looked great... There were some pretty good recipes listed...
 
I have it, but we haven't used it yet. It's got some nice sounding recipes in it though.
 
Is it the one that has a bunch of pictures and stories of the restaurants? If so, I saw it at WalMart and wasn't impressed. I love DD&D. I want to be Guy's assistant...lol but, wasnt impressed with that particular cookbook.

Remember if you were ever dying I would need to spend time with you too before you go, so, you would have to take me with you, HA!!:D

There are three I could eat at when we are at the beach if yall remember them. 1. Panini's in Fairhope, AL 2. The Gumbo Shack in Fairhop, AL 3. Maeens (I need to check spelling) in Daphne, AL

1 & 2 are from this season but I think 3 is from last season. I have got to look their addresses up on the show page on foodnetwork.com
