I've always hoped that he would consider adventuring in more downstate Illinois places. Other than Charlie Parker's Diner in Springfield, you won't see many Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives TV crews anywhere other than Chicago. How about a series checking out famous Route 66 eateries? That could be epic and show that classic diners are really what it's all about.
