Hey Guy – When Are You Coming Out To Bismarck?

That's a very good question, don't you think?

I mean Guy Fieri, THE Guy Fieri from the popular food network television show Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives is WAY past due to come and visit Bismarck and Mandan.   If he were to ask you to show him around, what local restaurants would immediately pop into your head? I mean unless YOU want to endure the pressure of preparing a home-cooked meal for a professional chef, it's now up to you - well you don't need to "Wine and Dine" him, but as a city, we are counting on YOU to show him some great restaurants here in BisMan. Here are some starters...

I'm going to once again go out on a limb and say...

...I'll BET Mr. Guy has never dined under the stars INSIDE an igloo! I know YOU think that this is a pretty unique place to take someone to:

The Paddle Trap - 2500 Pirates Loop SE, Mandan, North Dakota

Obviously a relaxed environment - he will no doubt be charmed by the unique atmosphere and a delicious menu serving brunch, lunch, and dinner.

Now if you have watched his show, he makes it pretty clear that he loves to be part of the local crowd, and what better place than:

Sickies Garage Burgers & Brew - 3130 N 14th St, Bismarck, North Dakota

Many people say that Sickies has the best burgers in BisMan - It's a crazy busy place INSIDE and in the summer OUTSIDE as well ( Bike Night ) - Tourists flock here.

How about a fancy place right in the heart of Bismarck? You can still dress casually and enjoy a historic landmark as well:

Peacock Alley - 103 5th St, Bismarck, North Dakota

Ahh yes, located right there on the corner of East Main Ave, and 5th - the bottom floor of the historic Patterson building, Peacock Alley is no spring chicken, been around since 1933. Relax and enjoy some serious fine dining.

Ok, finally, are you ready to charm the heck out of him? There is no better place to settle in and really feel BISMARK:

Little Cottage Cafe - 2513 East Main Ave, Bismarck, North Dakota

What looks so tiny on the outside is LARGE in charm on the INSIDE. This is a perfect place to let Guy soak in on what Bismarck/North Dakota is all about - down-home cooking to its finest and a staff that will win your heart within two seconds.

So there you go, I see you nodding your head now - you are confident that Guy Fieri will be impressed with BisMan - and I just nudged you a little bit, there are so many other wonderful places here in town that a superstar like him would love. The time is now for you to send him an invite!
