Peter,

By item #2, are you saying that diner food in general is bad?

I'm not trying to be confrontational, but get clarification. See, I live in
New Jersey, the de facto diner capital, and it's rare one will find a diner
with bad food - those that offer such, quickly go out of business. By and
large, diner food tends to be pretty good and reasonably priced. Granted,
most diner preparations may not win awards, but they will satisfy one's
hunger, and you won't go broke doing it.
