Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
 |
   |
We have two versions of files for Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives on this site, but they are maintained by different people.
The CSV version ( http://www.poi-factory.com/node/6232 ) lists 8 people involved in updating the file and the GPX version ( http://www.poi-factory.com/node/15558 ) was created by sabadir and was updated by eradicatore.
Since so many were involved already, I'm not sure the best way to get this idea out, which is why I started this thread.
I note that both files were solely created by the listing on the DDD webapges on the Food Network website. Unfortunately they are not keeping this listing up to date.
I am heading up to Scottsdale tomorrow and figured I would stop at Joe's Farm Grill in Gilbert on my way home. I had seen this place featured on DDD. I'm glad I checked to make sure it was in the poi, since it isn't.
I added it as a favorite for now.
Visiting DDD schedule, I see they list three other locations, plus Joe's Farm Grill which are not in the pois and could be added.
Do we need a project to get these files updated more fully? This could be handled by one person, but I suspect that many fans know of one or two places that are not on the FN site. We could potentially have another dozen people working on the files to get them up to date without waiting for the shows to re-air, if they do.
What is the best way to get these files updated when so many have been involved in or could be involved in creating & updating them?
Here are the 4

No one?
OK,
After getting the go ahead from Miss Poi, I've started updating the gpx file. I've already added 11 more places and corrected one entry. There are at least 17 more episodes I need to check on, so it'll be a little while before the newest version is available.
If anyone else is working on this, PLEASE let me know.
Thanks
34 new locations
The newest version of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives GPX is now available. I have added 34 new locations to the previous version. I'll update this file if I come across other locations that haven't been included, and once the new season begins again, with the newest places.
Thanks for taking the time
Thanks for taking the time to clarify these files and updating the gpx version (as I own a Garmin GPS)
. I'm always looking for a new place to eat.
More to come
I spent a little more time going over the show's website again last night and added 12 additional locations to my version of the file. They have transitioned to a a new website layout and there is a more complete listing of the episodes. I found two pages that are buggy and I've sent a message to Food Network's webmasters letting them know which episode pages are bad. There may be as many as 6 more coming.
I'm going to wait to see if FNs webmasters can fix the problem on their pages in the next few days before I upload the most current version.
The new season starts this week, so the file should continue to grow in the next few months.
Seasons 1 - 4 complete
OK, I've updated the gpx file one more time with 15 more locations from the previous update. That should be a total of 49 NEW locations above the original file I started working on and 49 more than the csv version.
I'm pretty sure that the gpx version is now complete and up to date.
The new season starts soon, but I'll only update the file about once per month (appproximately 12 - 16 new locations at each update)
Thank-you!
This is a great POI. Thanks for your efforts keeping it up to date. I love the show and hope to visit some of the places, especially in the Chicago area. Been to the Triple XXX in Lafayette, IN as I am obviously a Boilermaker. That's the only one so far.
