“When I was growing up in Philly, there were “diners” and “luncheonettes” just like that place all over.”

Pics or BS.

When I start Touretting, I hear that Hulk music.

What’s funny about casting Lou Ferrigno as The Hulk, is that Lou wasn’t real tall...

The Hulk should have been more like the one in the Avengers movies.

I don't generally order french fries, but if they come with the meal, I'll eat them just to be polite. At the aforementioned place, when I ordered fries, the cook pulled out a potato, julienned it, and deep fried it. *That* is very hard to find, or at least, where one can actually watch it being done.

That’s something you never see anywhere, anymore.

Yeah, “large and in charge”...

But then again, he’s all CGI now, and they didn’t have that kind of budget for the TV show, I suppose.

It was rare then, but of course, it was probably in part because ordinarily the food prep is done where the customer can't see what's going on. But the flavor of a fresh potato fried is *way* better than frozen ones can do.

I remember “home fries” more than french fries... chopped into wheels, and fried up with onions.

I make those now, with scrambled eggs, chopped up kielbasa, and green peppers.

Yeah, grandmom used to make that for breakfast on Sundays. I learned it from her.

Good stuff. Salt and black pepper to top it off. Sometimes, pierogie too.
