DINERS DRIVE INS AND DIVES TVNext time the episode airs, look for it at the end of the show.Īfter all these years and multiple TV appearances, Fish still enjoys hearing that someone saw Melt on TV and had to check it out for themselves. It was all in good fun, and the footage is actually shown in the B-Roll at the end of the episode during the credits!” He got a small burn and began hopping around and yelling. While cooking, I threw a piece of hot cheese on the floor and it actually hit him on his toe. “The camera guy was making fun of him for it but he played it off like it was normal. Were there any fun behind-the-scenes hijinks? “Guy was wearing flip flops in the kitchen, which is a big no-no in the restaurant industry,” recalls Fish. There was no ‘hello’ or ‘this is how it will go ’ the camera started rolling the second he walked into the kitchen and did not stop until the end of the day.” Guy arrived, and we jumped right into the shoot.

At the time, they would not go and shoot in a city unless they had seven restaurants lined up. “I was a big fan of the show from the beginning,” says Fish, “So getting the call to appear was awesome. When the phone rang and the Food Network was on the line, Melt owner and founder Matt Fish was thrilled. Melt appeared on many local shows prior to “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” but only for morning shows and news stories.
