A few weeks ago, we offered up the restaurants we think would make the perfect Lexington episode of “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.” Then, we handed our readers the microphone to see where else Guy Fieri should try out. Here’s what y’all said:

Big Blue Deli! It’s very local, has lots of character, and local ingredients!” — Emily W.

Banners. In-house made sauces and rubs on the wings, fresh hand-pattied burgers, and lots of variety, and what would be my last meal request, the shrimp tacos that have fried Brussels sprouts and more on them.” — Alex S.

A.P. Suggins — Atmosphere, killer hot brown, great specials, fried banana peppers, and friendly people who have been coming there for years.” — Lisa B.

Tack House Pub — it’s small and cozy with great food and friendly staff.” — Tony F.

DV8 — I love the concept, and the staff are so appreciative.” — Pat V.
