[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have many fond memories of Greek-owned Midwestern diners with my grandmother, or with college friends. Haven’t found a great diner in DC, though Silver Diner is an interesting, healthier spin. [/quote]

Those cases with the multi-layer cakes that looked so good. And all tasted like sawdust the worst possible cakes. But they had pretty much everything under the sun on the menu. Meatloaf, lo-cal diet plate (tomato with cottage cheese), crepes, eggs, pancakes, club sandwich, patty melt, etc.  All was just ok, never amazing, the cakes were terrible.[/quote]

I never understood those massive menus. How can one place make so many food items?![/quote]

They don’t make anything. They heat up and fry Sysco slop.[/quote]

Maybe at a crappy diner. Good diners make everything in house. [/quote]

Ok…but 99% of them aren’t “good diners”[/quote]

Depends where you are. There aren’t any good ones around here. [/quote]

Nope, they are all mostly garbage food.  If they weren’t, they would be a “nice” brunch place and not a diner.  Even the Greek ones in the Midwest.  They might have a couple homemade items, but the rest is the same garbage talked about in this thread, fake syrup and all.  [/quote]
