Food Network star Guy Fieri’s visit to Oklahoma coincided with the one-year anniversary of the tragic burning of Stroud’s Rock Cafe, which “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” featured on a previous visit to the state.

“It’s just so tragic what happened there. We were really saddened to hear the news that it burned.”

He went on to say that he recently had a conversation with Pixar wizard John Lasseter, who was responsible for basing a character in the movie “Cars” on owner Dawn Welch, and that they discussed the loss of original Pixar artwork that was mounted on the walls.
