Eat This Guy Fieri: A Photo Essay on The Dive Bars of Dallas

We love dives. It's the feel of these places: the flaking-away booth chair, the wobbly stool, the Exile on Main Street on the juke box. And, oh sweet yes: late-night corn dogs. So, eat this Food Network: we sent our contributing photographer Jay Barker to capture one of Dallas' most lovable drunk characters -- the dive bar.

Check out his full essay and the joints he captured in our ol' slideshow section.

CS!? That place is an utter dive....bordering on sh+thole. Right smack dab in in the middle of "hell". Drove by it a lot en route to the office (hard by SW Air), stopped in, not BAD. What about Stokers Ice House down the way?

I love CS. I've gone once a decade since the 70's

What about Jake's in Plano?

On a different notes, I was just compiling the TPS reports for my boss, and careening down my alley comes a guy in a Rascal, weaving and smoking a cigarette. So I run to the end of the driveway, and this guy crashes into Mrs. Leary's fence. No damage. I go and check on this guy, and he's moaning, says he's fine-and takes off. Dude was as drunk as Cooter Brown........something to be said for day drinking!? True life is stranger than fiction. Also, the guy looked like the poster child for Methhead Magazine. And young; couldn't have been anywhere north of 25.
