SOUTH SOUND ON NATIONAL TV AGAIN >>>

Guy Fieri ruffled feathers when he blasted through downtown Olympia in November. His show, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, filmed at two popular locations, Darby's Cafe and Fish Tale Brew Pub.

The episode featuring Darby's aired Jan. 21. The episode featuring Fish Tale will air Monday, Feb. 11 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

A viewing party will take place tonight at the downtown Olympia brewpub tonight, which will include specials on bangers and mash - one of the menu items featured on the show.

Also featured is the crab cannelloni - a mixture of Dungeness crab, shrimp and ricotta in an eggroll wrapper and baked in a roasted red pepper cream sauce then served with side Caesar salad.

It was an early Saturday morning when Fieri cast and crew took over Fish Tale's kitchen and front of the house, infiltrating the brewpub with its camera lenses and witty one liners, tells Todd Chapin, a Fish Tale employee who was on site during filming, and played the part of an extra sitting at the bar.

"The best part was when they'd be like "Cut! We need to refill those beers!" laughs Chapin. "It was like 8:30 in the morning and we just kept drinking. It was really fun. Fieri is a good guy."

FISH TALE BREWPUB, VIEWING PARTY, MONDAY, FEB 11, 7 P.M., 515 JEFFERSON ST. SE, OLYMPIA, 360.943.3650
