"If you've forgotten about the Boston-based restaurants that hosted the likes of Anthony Bourdain, Duff Goldman, Phil Rosenthal, and others - including, of course, Guy Fieri - we've got you covered. Let's talk about some of the best of the best, take a look back at some of the shows, and see if you can still get some of those same dishes that impressed audiences on national television."
"Sweet Cheeks Q is not like others on this list, since it wasn't a hidden gem that was catapulted onto the national stage when it appeared on TV. Sweet Cheeks Q is headed by James Beard Award-nominated chef Tiffani Faison, who food show fans might recognize from "Top Chef" and "Chopped." She's still somehow found time to open a few restaurants, including this one in 2011. The reason we're talking about it here is because it was also featured on "Diners, Drive-ins & Dives.""
Televised food shows can produce life-changing exposure for restaurants, causing recurring spikes in customers even years after an episode airs. Programs like Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives and appearances by hosts such as Guy Fieri, Anthony Bourdain, Duff Goldman, and Phil Rosenthal drive clientele toward local favorites and mom-and-pop establishments. Boston's food scene includes traditional Italian neighborhoods and celebrated desserts like Boston cream pie. Featured restaurants become destination spots for tourists and locals. Sweet Cheeks Q in Fenway, opened in 2011 by James Beard–nominated chef Tiffani Faison, exemplifies a high-profile venue that has appeared on national television.
