The Food Network, along with host Guy Fieri, has filmed nearly 40 seasons of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, a journey that has taken them to “1,500 Diners & Restaurants in over 470 Cities since 2007,” said Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives Locations.

The world-famous Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives TV show has visited Alabama multiple times. Now, Mashed has selected the top spot in each state and featured a mouth-watering restaurant from Alabama.

According to the Food Network, it has been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives for the shows “Old Faces, New Places” and “Takeout: Flavortown Comes Home.”

It’s clinched the top spot in the Yellowhammer State for Mashed's Best Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives because you can “relax in the casual atmosphere, gaze out at the ocean view, and be sure to check out the Eastern Shore Bouillabaisse, loaded with gulf coast shrimp, mussels, and leeks; and the Gulf Snapper Throats bathed in garlic butter,” said Mashed. They “promise, you won't find better seafood in the entire state.”

Sunset Pointe, owned by acclaimed chef "Panini" Pete Blohme, has garnered high praise for its delectable cuisine. Blohme's extensive culinary experience includes working on “cruise ships, large and small restaurants across America, and even as Executive Chef of the University of Alabama.”

A notable aspect of "Panini" Pete Blohme's career is his philanthropy, highlighted by his establishment of The PR Foundation alongside his close friend and business partner, Robert Kabakoff. They are “working hard raising funds to help veterans, adults with developmental disabilities, and no-kill animal shelters.”
