And I'm not 100% sure what show it was... but this saddened me....
A local (unique) diner will NOT appear on the Travel Channel because after the impressive workjob they did, they then told them it'd cost them $1200 (or whatever, close to that) to appear. "Shut Up and Eat" reluctantly and disappointedly declined with, "you know I just sell eggs, right?"
While I so understand the exposure these places get -- obviously! But I never expected they had to pay for it...

Makes you wonder if they actually air the best places... or apparently just the ones willing to pay for the exposure...
FAIL!
