Anyone who has ever worked in a restaurant will tell you that there is more than enough mate- rial there to make a TV show. And television has a long, proud history of doing just that, mining the eccentricities of diners and staff for laughs and the pressure of producing meals on demand for drama. Or just about any other scenario the writers can think up. Some of these eateries can seem so real, a view- er can just about taste the meal coming on screen – or look so bad they're glad the place doesn't really exist. Like the following. Monk's Cafe, "Seinfeld": Fittingly, the Man- hattan coffee shop where Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer (Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Michael Richards) often gathered to discuss the minutia of their lives served as a frequent setting for this much-decorated "show about nothing." But food did come out of the kitchen, whether it was the soup with the rubber band in it or the takeout big salad that George bought for Elaine and didn't get credit for. But don't get Elaine started on the waitresses with a certain common trait there. Double R Diner, "Twin Peaks": FBI Agent Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) embraced the simpler smalltown life of the titular Washington burg in which David Lynch's hit early '90s supernatural mystery series was set, and he downed each slice of blueberry pie and "damn fine cup of coffee" he ordered at this eatery with gusto. Vesuvio, "The Sopranos": Upscale Italian food was on the menu of this classy New Jersey es- tablishment where Tony (James Gandolfini) and his goons often dined, and owner Artie (John Ventimiglia) always made sure they were taken care of – that is, until it met with an unfortunate "accident." Bob's Burgers, "Bob's Burgers": If cartoon fast food served in a scenic animated oceanfront set- ting is your thing, this family-owned New Jersey concern might be for you. But the humor and wit here are very real, as exemplified by the "Burger of the Day," a running gag that gave comestibles clever names such as the "I've Created a Muenster Burger" and the "What's The Worcestershire That Could Happen Burger." Luke's Diner, "Gilmore Girls": In addition to the food and drink served up at this establish- ment, diners here would often get a floor show, whether it was Luke (Scott Patterson) yelling at someone, swapping witticisms with Lorelei (Lau- ren Graham) or any one of dozens other scenari- os. Life here was never dull. what'scooking tastytv BY GEORGE DICKIE TV restaurants: Places you'll never eat at – but wish you could (maybe) "Seinfeld" 5:30 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive- Ins and Dives A culinary dojo amps up local specialties; a funky food truck puts out meatless Mexican. 6 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Guy dives into mega meat and a little bit of sweet in three American cities. 6:30 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive- Ins and Dives Oxtail and big ragu; chivito club and chicken bowl; pork osso buco; vege- tarian mushroom stroganoff. 7 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Barbecued chicken; vegan chili; lemongrass chick- en; sloppy Joes; scratch-made ramen and pork ragout. 7:30 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive- Ins and Dives An all-Boston smorgasbord; two restaurants share one kitchen; gravlax and chicken sausage; pierogi. 8 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives A Boston beer joint uses beer in its crust; a hang- out in New Mexico serves up carne asada pizza. 8:30 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive- Ins and Dives Jerk chicken; spicy snapper; porcini cas- cioni; rosettes; Bangkok burri- to; lamb curry. 9 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives 9:30 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive- Ins and Dives Surprising in- gredients. 10 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives On this trip, Guy Fieri is divin' into inventive eats; in Burlington, Vt., Rich- mond, Va. and Ottawa. 10:30 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive- Ins and Dives On this trip, Guy Fieri dives into dishes steeped in tasty tradition.
