My idea to create the Diners, Drive-ins and Dives came from visiting one of the featured restaurants. I met a couple there at the restaurant with the serie's book (made entailing the restaurants in the first three seasons). Talking to the couple I found out they were traveling cross-country and trying all of the featured restaurants on the travel route, with some requiring minor detours.This couple was basically visiting waymarks and just documenting their comments in their book. As I am sure many people do this to one degree or another, I thought creating this category would give them a good forum. Also, people could learn about these featured restaurants
Diners, Drive-in, and Dives is an ever expanding group. The television show is in its sixth season and it features a minimum of three new restaurants each episode. I believe currently there have been 60 total episodes. so 180+ current waymarks with more to come.
The restaurants used in the show are from recommenations of television viewers
As for your question, 'Is this specific TV show too limited in scope',there are several waymarking categories that are very specific.Many which easily fit within other categories. Examples- Holy Wells of the British Isles, Benchmarks on Las Vegas Boulevard, 300 Years of Russian Navy, 1866 Austro-Prussian War Waymarkers, Rhode Island Reds, and 100's more.
As for expanding the type of restaurant categories, all Mc Donald's, Wendy's, Burger Kings, In-N-Out Burgers, and White Castle restaurants should be in one category. Not to mention Australian Mc Donald's with wi-fi spots.
I hope I made some valid arguments in your opinion and this will get you to change your vote!
