Tiverton restaurant back in the spotlight on new Food Network show
TIVERTON – This past fall, Food Network crews craving a seafood feast were back in Tiverton.
Now, celebrity host and restaurateur Guy Fieri’s latest stop at Evelyn’s Drive In will make its small screen debut next week.
The Mayor of Flavortown first journeyed to the Tiverton seafood spot over 15 years ago, spotlighting Evelyn’s in a Season 2 episode of his popular TV series “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.”
Fare at the waterfront summer destination was deemed so memorable, it warranted the Food Network star’s return visit this past September for his spinoff series “Triple D Nation,” in which Fieri circles back to some of his favorite restaurants previously featured on “Diners, Drive -Ins and Dives.”

That footage will be included in Season 5, Episode 12 of “Triple D Nation” titled “From Steak to Seafood,” slated to air Friday, Feb. 9, at 9 pm on the Food Network.
