In case you aren’t familiar, the famous Food Network show :Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives"consists of spiky-haired chef Guy Fieri cruising around the country in his shiny red convertible, sampling local restaurants and sharing their most popular recipes. Once you watch a few episodes of this entertaining show, you learn a few things. Tip: Don’t watch the show on an empty stomach. You’ll just regret it five minutes in.

1. Don’t judge a restaurant by its exterior.

Some of the most interesting, delicious and altogether enticing eateries featured on the show are considered to be a dive by the locals. Just because the outside may be small or run-down doesn’t mean the food inside will be bad.

2. Broaden your horizons.

Guy Fieri has visited some pretty darn strange restaurants on his show with some pretty darn strange menu items. But you have to hand it to him: no matter how foreign or unsightly the food looks, he tries everything. We could take a hint from our spiky-haired friend and be more adventurous with our food

3. Company goes great with food.

If you're going to scarf down an entire burger or piece of pizza, doing it with someone by your side only enhances the experience.

4. The bigger, the better.

Food is great. Food is amazing. Food is life-changing. So why would we settle for teensy, tiny bites of scrumptious food? That's just not how we roll. Food is meant to be eaten in ridiculous, absurdly large amounts. This is America, after all.

5. Talking with food in your mouth is oh-so-attractive.

Sometimes you just really need to say something with a mouthful of grub. Don't be ashamed to talk in the middle of chewing. We're not here to judge.

6. The key to success in life is bleached hair and excessively flashy sunglasses.

If you ever need fashion advice, look no further than Guy Fieri. Chicks dig the hoop earrings and one-too-many rings. Well, some do. A select few. Hey, he drives a cool car.
