Dot’s Back Inn returns to the Food Network

8 Comments »

From this week’s Style Weekly:

Dot’s Back Inn: North Side landmark diner gets exposed April 14 at 10 p.m. on the Food Network. Owner Jimmy Tsamouras cooks, regulars shoot the breeze, and that blond guy eats it all up on “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.” 4030 MacArthur Ave. 266-3167.

    Diners Drive-ins and Dives had another local restaurant on last week. They did a piece on the “Village Cafe” located near VCU.

    Awesome! Knew about it for a while. Didn’t know when it was supposed to air, though.

    I live in Columbus Ohio and I want to drive in my car and come for a meal right now!!!!! Wow-how creative and delicious those dishes looked on the show last night! Kudos to you!

    We were wondering what happened to Jimmy. He catered our wedding in 2000 and did an amazing job. We can’t wait to try this restaurant. (Hope th smoke is gone!)

    wonderful place and food….my favorite spot around. The food is wonderful. Jimmy has done an oustanding job.

    I want to thank all of the patrons of Dots for being such great and loyal customers. The show has been a great success for us. Working with Guy and his staff was great. He is just like on TV super cool, lots of fun and not fake at all. Worked on the hood system here and it seems to have help. Yes, the smoke eaters are cleaned.. every 30 days and I just changed that to 15. This is a battle because of being such a small space and its somthing I’m trying to make better. Untill next time folks thanks for your support and keep going local not chains…and if i did your wedding you better come to the kitchen and see me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
