The History Channel is Coming to Michigan

It's always exciting when a national or cable show comes to Michigan to film an episode. I mean, think of all the times Michigan restaurants have been featured on the Food Network. It's thrilling to see a local establishment on the small screen, getting the attention they deserve.

Now, one of the History Channel’s biggest shows is heading to Michigan to go antiquing. The show has been around for more than two decades, so it's a favorite.

The program, “American Pickers,” will be looking for antiques and collectables for new episodes of the television show. Plus, if you have an antique shop, they want to know about it.

"'American Pickers,' which stars collectors Mike Wolfe, Danielle Colby and Robbie Wolfe, is headed to Michigan this May and is seeking out private collectors with really cool items and stories to tell. No stores. Private collections only," a Facebook post from Cineflix stated. To have a shot for the show, email Americanpickers@Cineflix.com or call ‪646-493-2184‬.

“American Pickers” is entering its 23rd season. The show travels around America with the mission to restore old relics and make them like new again. New episodes of the program air on Saturdays at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT.

"Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives," hosted by Guy Fieri on the Food Network, is one of the most popular shows for food lovers. There's just something super entertaining about Fieri, and the show is so fun to watch. What's extra cool is that Fieri has come to Michigan multiple times and picked local restaurants to highlight on the show.

TVFoodmaps.com has compiled a full directory of all the restaurants that have appeared on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives." Think of this as a list of spots every Michigan food lover should visit. Some of these restaurants are familiar to me, like Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger, while others I are not. My parents actually live just a few miles from Zaytoon Mediterranean in Lansing, Michigan, and I had no idea they were featured on the show until now. They do have some great Miditerranean food. Which are your favorite Michigan spots that you think should be featured on the show? Reach out to me on social media and give me some recommendations!

In total, Fieri has highlights 16 different Michigan restaurants on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives." What can I say- we have some great eating spots here! View the full list of Michigan restaurants featured on the show below, and make sure to visit them at some point. View the full list here.
