I Only Ate There Once

previous / next (10-28-09)

And now it is gone.

This charming little diner/luncheonette is no longer. I am really bummed. It was not exactly close to my home. It was really tiny and didn't "look" like much on the outside but it was charming inside and had great food. The one time I ate there I had a really awesome burger. It was one of the best burgers I ever had. Mark had eaten breakfast there a few times and said the breakfasts were really awesome too. This is a really sad sign of the times. Chef Ed...If you have just relocated and see this post by some miracle, please tell me where you have gone.

This looks nice. At least through your lens.
I hope the chef will see your post and invite you for a burger in his new place.

I don't know if this is a little hole in the wall, but those are the best places to get some tasty food and, if you go enough times, get to know the people. I'd love to just sit in one of those and take photos all day!

I just hate when the terrific, quaint wonderful places disappear. Its so sad that so many small businesses have to close. I hope the chef has gone someplace else and you can find him.
Love the atmosphere this shot shows.

Laurie! I agree with you pretty sad that this kind place to missing in our life there is always a place that is in trouble that can disappear probably because of the financial Gray

I think this scene is beautifully lit. Nice job! I'll bet there is a story behind each one of those objects on the wall.
