Valentine's Day is on the way, and that can bring up all kinds of emotions. Some people love the holiday- especially those in a relationship where chocolates and flowers are involved. Others just see it as a reminder of the single life. Either way, those who want to celebrate Valentine's Day the best way should stay away from one Michigan town, which, reportedly, is one of the worst towns in America to celebrate the holiday.

With the big day coming up quickly, WalletHub has done the homework to determine the worst cities to celebrate Valentine's Day in America.

"With love in the air, WalletHub played cupid to determine the most romantic and cost-effective cities for celebrating Valentine’s Day," they stated. "We compared 100 of the largest U.S. cities across 27 key metrics, ranging from florists per capita to forecasted precipitation to cost of a three-course meal for two."

As it turns out, Detroit is at the bottom of the list at No. 98 out of 100. That's not good, to say the least. Detroit also has one of the fewest jewelry stores per capita, according to the study, at No. 97. Finally, Detroit is tied for the worst highest average ticket price for Valentine's Day. Find the full study here. At least we have good food in Michigan, as you can see by the post below!

"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.
