He said that the show needed a replacement for a restaurant that didn't work out (They started filming and realized it wasn't DDD quality) he said they wouldn't tell him the name of the restaurant.  I however have figured it out with proof.  Do you want the info, or to keep it quiet?"

Many readers write in asking for its address. Please pass our regards on to Ricardo. You knew Guy was recently in DFW at a charity event with Mario Batali? Guy also had a meet & greet at Dillard's in nearby Hurst. Guy loves the area. And yes! Very curious about the replaced restaurant that didn't work out. What did you learn?"
Paul's reply: "Well in the back the second book about DDD, there is a listing of restaurants that DDD has visited. Last March I noticed the Massey's in Fort Worth was listed. I figured it would be on a future episode; however it never happened. The local reviews of the place are mixed. I've got to believe that this is the restaurant that they bailed out on.
"Ricardo said that they (the support staff at DDD) would not say who the restaurant was. I told him that when I got home I would look up the name of the restaurant, and would tell him on my next visit. After checking the book I notified you.
Love you site and check it a few times a week."
Our reply: "Fascinating! We love hearing some of the back stories from Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. We know of at least two locations where the show taped, and they've never aired. Not sure exactly why that is nor how it works. And thanks for reading!" More on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.
