For those of you who are loyal Food Network fans, you'll recognize the vivacious man in the above picture as host of the popular, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives as well as Guy's Big Bite.  Regardless of whether you love him or hate him, Guy Fieri is a big food personality who's not going anywhere.  In fact, he recently visited Astoria's popular dive bar, Sparrow and got a taste for what a real burger with herbed fries should taste like!

And...he also just launched a cookbook called Guy Fieri Food, which highlights his 150 favorite eats, including lots of comforting dishes turned upside the head.  Things like watermelon pork tacos, firecracker wings, a Chicago Italian beef sandwich, Nor Cal carnitas and much more.  The book is full of funky looking illustrations that totally channel Guy's personality.

So...in honor of Guy's big book release, I'm giving away 2 copies just for you.  Here's how you can get your hands on one:

Sparrow and Sage General Store on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives

A friend of mine, Harlan gave me a little nugget of interesting foodie gossip that I wanted to share with you.  Having to do with our neighborhood and some of our most beloved go-to eateries such as the Sparrow Tavern in Astoria and Sage General Store in LIC, I found out that these two under-the-radar establishments are going to be featured on the popular Food Network series, Diners Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri. 

At first this tid-bit was just a rumor but both locales have confirmed their participation in the series.  Sage's episode will air on Monday, 1/17 at 10:00 p.m. ET and Sparrow's is still unannounced.

While most of you are probably very familiar with both establishments, just to give you a little refresher, The Sparrow is an under-the-radar speakeasy tavern, featuring some of the best burgers in town, while Sage is home to fresh, locally sourced food and unique specialty brunch pizzas.

I hope you enjoy the episodes and tune in to support Astoria and LIC in their foodie stardom.
