diners

The one thing I will say about living in the commonwealth, we have a lot of locally owned restaurants. Especially diners. And I mean a lot of diners! Not only are these eateries popular, but they have been in business for many decades! Or should I say even centuries!

The capital region has dive restaurants & bars with unique dishes, flavors, and atmospheres. This region has everything from Saratoga to Troy to Cohoes to Schenectady to Albany.

Take a look at the 16 most delicious old American diners found in the Adirondack and Catskill regions of Upstate New York.

For the last few months, my wife and I have been going to some of the local diners for breakfast on Saturday mornings and these are some of our favorites.

Diners have always been a part of our lives and there are so many here in the Capital Region. We all know that there is a staple that is on every table in every diner. It's Heinz ketchup and now they want to give back. Here's how you can help too.

In the show, Guy Fieri goes to local restaurants (not chains) to feature them on his show "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Drives." For an upcoming episode, he picked one not too far away!

I can hear you already:  "Is that a promise, or a warning?" I think it's a little of both. We are on the road again every Friday in May with the Small Town Tour.

It's no secret that when the power goes out for an extended period of time, food spoils!

Wherever we go with Sean + Richie's Small Town Tour we seem to find some sort of early morning technical issue, and today is no exception but we are on-the-air live from the Ravena Diner in, appropriately Ravena NY.

Since I brought up some of our great diners in the area a little earlier, I thought I would just mention some of our favorite items on the menus.

My wife, Linda and I try to go out to dinner at least once on the weekend. We go to all different places: specialty restaurants like for barbecue, ethnic or chains like Ruby Tuesday, T.G.I.Friday, McDonalds or Taco Bell.
