  1. Most restaurants these days do NOT have mustard at the table, the ketchup is there but not the mustard.
    Go out to lunch and take a look today...

  2. That scene looks to me to be a Waffle House. I like eating at diners where the cook learned his trade in prison.

    2. Yes, it is a Waffle house - the menu is the dead giveaway. I do not know if you meant it in jest, but the few times I had to inspect prisons, I had really good meals prepped by the inmates learning to be cooks and chefs.

      I do like the consistency I have gotten over the years at the Waffle Houses especially for a decent breakfast meeting.

    3. No, I didn't offer my comment in jest at all. My closest experience with prison is that we frequently drive past the prisons in Florence, AZ, which is to say that I know basically nothing about prison. That said, I have to imagine that a prisoner's 3 squares are an important part of his day and those that provide those meals are important to them.

      I too like eating at a Waffle House. Before I retired, I would often seek one out for a breakfast meal. However, Mrs. azlib doesn't care for them, so I don't often eat there any longer.

  3. My grandma kept her jar of mustard in a cabinet. Lukewarm mustard, yum.

  4. I was going to guess Waffle House - the white tile wall with aluminum framed window walls is iconic. Watching the cooks and servers work in concert is a learning experience. The good ones have economy of motion - not much extra is given away.

  5. I meet a few other US Marine veterans every Wednesday for breakfast at a local diner. The tables look like this. It is a REAL diner, not a (horrible) Waffle House or a (little better) IHOP.

  7. Heinz is not mustard.

    French's or nothing.

    There is no ketchup but Heinz and no mustard but French's.

    I have spoken.

  10. If it's a great diner, it has Orange Marmalade, Apple butter, Grape, and Strawberry jams.
