Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

If you don't mind, please send me the file so that I can review the results.

Thanks

I got quite a few done by getting the information from the web and others from my book, some I had to watch the youtube video to see what was the featured item, I also added around 15 new locations that are not in the CSV file.

The only down side for me is that I can’t no longer download the file from POI since my CSV file has more and added information than the file at the site.

I have no intention of being the keeper of the file at POI but once I’m done I can make it available to whoever the maintainer is at that time so he can consider replacing it with my file.

This may take a while since it is very time consuming and is nor as easy as just finding the location.

So you don't get the 2 files mixed up just name your's something different. Download the file from the site and then compare them.
You can copy and paste what you need between them. CSV will open in excel.

I ran DinersDrive-insDives.csv on POI Editor for duplicates and it found this two, different business name but the same address, I checked at the FoodTV.com and they also have both listed for the same address.

Since the file was extracted from information posted at FoodTV it could be they made a mistake, I found the Rino's Place but in another state.

Maintainer you may want to edit the file at POI, in the mean time I will update the file I'm working on.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this or not. I have an app on my Palm Pre for DDD. It's a nice companion to the POI file. It lets you search by area or GPS location and links to the youtube video for each location. The app is free, and I'm guessing also available for iPhone and Android, but I'm not certain.

I corrected the files....Thanks

I have made some minor corrections: the From Pork to Tofu, Episode DV1101 was mislabeled as Episode DV1014 and included duplicate entries from a previous episode while excluding the correct entries.

After these corrections, I have added the remaining episodes through DV1106. Unfortunately, I have no idea where or to whom to send the file now that it has been updated.

Go to http://www.poi-factory.com/node/15558 and use the contact tab to send info to Author of the file.

File has been updated.

Let me know if anyone has a problem with the file.

I visited Parkette this past weekend, and the drive-in was actually on the opposite side of the street from where the GPS told me it was. Other than that, it was spot on from NC to KY.

They've moved (no longer on Prescott):

Definitely still the best BBQ I've had in Portland.

I downloaded the "latest" file I thought??? But it looks like it is only the DD&D's for the southeast. Charlotte NC is the farthest away It gets....

Any insight?????

Your GPS will only show the closest 50 to your current location.

See http://www.poi-factory.com/node/1371

Thank you for the help... It never crossed my mind to change my location.....

Updated file & corrected some errors with comments from jbyrd & bwarden.

Please review the file and let me know of any errors.

Thanks

I have downloaded and saved the file 3 - 4 times and before installing it tried to open it in GPX editor.

This is the error I get:

Opening DinersDrive-insDives-1.gpx
File: . Line: 4845 Col: 33 Error: Badly formed UTF-8 character in stream
File not loaded
No GPX file loaded, nothing to display

Is you need to take the "1" out of the file name. That will create an issue of not getting the "Go" icon. I don't know about the other issue though.

Will do that and thanks for the help.

Opens fine using EPE. Have you tried that?

Good place for a quick lunch, lots of locals, friendly staff and owner. In the middle of no where which is good if you are hungry and in the neighborhood. We were looking and asked in a antique/junk store and was direct to Nicklesville as the closest place for good food. It was a Sunday and not much was open. Was a bit of a drive since it was about 3 miles away on the other side of a mountain we had to drive around but it was worth the drive.

Jim...

I've been using Triple D Plus. It's in .csv format and includes some of the dishes shown on the TV show. I'm not sure why the author/maintainer is keeping those that have closed in the file though.

Hello POI members...

The Food Network has not updated many of the new episode information. Do you want me to remain pure and only list what they have posted or list the information from any source?

Effective March 25th, 2010 the Restaurant formerly known as Taylor's Refresher has new owners who renamed it to Gott’s Roadside Tray Gourmet.

Only list the places that were visited on the Food Network show called "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives." If the place was visited but the Food Network website does not give the address, it's OK to get the correct address of the place from somewhere else and add it to the POI.

I am new, what version of a file do I download to myv tomtom gpx or c

Welcome to the factory

Glad to see this file is still being maintained and updated. I am surprised that there hasn't been any activity on this thread in FOUR years though!

Thank you for keeping this list up to date. Unfortunately, Wilson's Holy Smoke in Fairfield, Connecticut closed their doors permanently in 2018.

I see that this thread is getting kinda old. Is anybody taking edits now? I have a missed DDD and one that's not there anymore.

Latest release was Aug 10, 2020 and a new edition will be out this week.

Thanks for DDD! It is one of the most-used files.
