One of the Valley’s essential burger joints, Paradise Valley Burger Co., is set to make an appearance on Guy Fieri’s hit Food Network show, “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives: Triple D Nation.”
On “Triple D Nation” Fieri revisits restaurants previously featured on “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” to check in on the business owners and see how they are doing.
Fieri tried two burgers for the new episode: The Fritter, made with a corn muffin fritter, guacamole, green chile, cumin ranch and blueberry habanero compote; and a brand-new Doritos Locos-inspired burger made with a nacho-crusted patty, nacho cheese flavored sour cream, sweet and spicy bacon and salsa verde.
Owner Bret Shapiro said Fieri told him the latest two burgers were the best he’d ever tried from the restaurant.
“He (Fieri) does so much for local businesses,” Shapiro told The Republic. “I know he takes pride in putting spots that he finds really good on the map. And he could be picking from thousands of new restaurants that are awesome, but he comes back to show us some love, because he loves our food. It’s pretty cool.”
