"The series is called, almost unbelievably, Diners, Drive-Ins & DeSantis. He has filmed nine episodes so far, each uploaded directly to X, and all of them follow the exact same formula: There is Ron, with his giant head, sitting down for a meal in one of Florida's many nondescript tropical enclaves."
"His production mirrors the tenets of Guy Fieri's venerable food-travel serial, which is the obvious inspiration. The episodes feature cloying interviews with restaurant owners, loosely evoking the can-do, small-business ethos."
"In the most recent entry in the series, DeSantis-dressed in a suit and flag pin-gives his review of the cuisine, in a way that can only be described as surreal."
Ron DeSantis, in his final year as Florida governor, has shifted focus from politics to a food series titled 'Diners, Drive-Ins & DeSantis.' The series features him dining at various local restaurants across Florida, mimicking the style of Guy Fieri's food shows. DeSantis engages with restaurant owners and reviews the food while dressed in a suit. He has produced nine episodes so far, showcasing his experiences in lesser-known Florida locales, reflecting a departure from his previous political prominence.
