Searching for a Diner
Where is the All American diner? The place where Flo the waitress calls me darlin’, and serves breakfast all day. Someplace where I can eat something really good - that’s really bad for me? That diner in Double Indemnity?
Well, couldn’t find one.
Some of the “travel plazas” (truck stops) have great names:
Gear Grinder Diner
The Hungry Red Neck
Fork in the Road
But these menus only had poorly cooked chicken breasts and bad spinach salad.
Took a ride with a ex NY cabbie – “Go to Rosie’s - good food, great looking waitresses, hell they even insult ya…what more could you want.”
But I am ready, I have been practising the lingo:
Order up: “burn it, take it through the garden and pin a rose on it”
