[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family from abroad is visiting for the holidays. They want to go to an American diner. What is the most authentic one in the area? [/quote]
Everyone knows that an authentic American diner is Greek.  A diner must have the following: a glass dessert display case up front, a long menu, and some sort of poster or model of the Parthenon.  Bonus if there is a Greek flag or surly septuagenarian proprietor at the cash register. Unfortunately, DC is lacking in the Greek diner department and the few that existed are slowly vanishing.  I don't think any of these are great, but they are diners - Amphora (Herndon), Metro 29 (Arlington), Double T (Annapolis, Catonsville, Pasadena, and some others...).[/quote]

Yes.  I grew up in an area with many Greek diner's.  I miss them.  My dad used to joke that all the food for all of the diners in the area came from one giant kitchen in the center of the earth because they all had basically the same mile-long menu and tasted mostly the same.[/quote]
