Bartertown Diner didn’t allow for bosses or managers and allowed for a living wage, and a strong union. It also apparently didn’t allow for enough profits to stay open.
Workers at Bartertown were able to decide the menu and business hours, creating odd times that confused customers. Many patrons complained that it took up to 40 minutes to get a sandwich.
Politics also caused fights between customers. Bartertown offered free food to police officers for keeping the community safe, which enraged socialists who hate cops. Additionally, their no tipping policy caused staff not to work as hard because there was no benefit.

I thought maybe they would have nightly cage matches to bring in business.
That sounds like a feast for sure. Homemade hollandaise has many tasty uses but none better than a side to fresh asparagus (or several other veggies I can think of).
I love asparagus especially the way you mentioned. Yum. However, if I walked in that restaurant and saw that picture, I’d walk out. How obscene to have those people on the wall.
What have they got against celery? That’s not inclusive.
We do asparagus on a baking sheet in the oven,coated in a good olive oil.

LOL! Epic. Fail.
I have never had Hollandaise.
yep
LOL absolutely true
I read all the replies - thanks - been AFK for a bit.
I had to look for the recipe - thought I kept it on the PC because I shared it with someone on the other side of the world. So here it is if you want it - have fun if you make it.
Snap off the white bamboo-type ends of asparagus and rinse in cold water. I sometimes let them soak for about 10 minutes.
In a skillet, combine finely-chopped white/red onion, green/red/orange/yellow pepper, some Italian dressing, several pats of butter and some soy sauce. Medium heat (4/10) until reduced onions / browning.
While that’s going toss the asparagus in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and salt (or sea salt) and toss.
Into the skillet goes the asparagus. I add lemon pepper, garlic salt and concentrated lemon juice (1-2 tbsp. approx.). You could juice out a lemon, perhaps even slice it and add it in without the seeds.
Meanwhile, microwave some bacon, chop into 1/2 inch pieces, and slide all that bacon and fat into your skillet. I let it run in the med skillet (4/10) for 10 or 20 minutes; depends on how you like your asparagus.
THEN, yes, top with Parmesan cheese.
For a variation, grill the asparagus after the olive oil and salt toss for some nice grill marks, then toss in skillet.
Enjoy!!!! It’s awesome!
Oh wow. I am a happy man. Thank you so much. I am making this tomorrow. Have a great weekend. I know mine will be.
I put some bacon in with my baked / roasted potato slices too.
Salt, paprika, lemon pepper, olive oil, parsley flakes, a little pepper, onion powder. Tossed in olive oil. Pan sprayed with a non-stick (butter flavor of course).
Chopped up potatoes, a bit of leftover celery — then a couple chicken boullion tossed with some water in the pan - over at 425 F for 90-120 minutes (check the water level every 30 mins).
The bacon I laid on top last 30 mins or so.
Above recipe for ya if ya want. (previous post)
Hope it goes well for ya. I’m sure it will.
I haven’t ever broken down an ingredients list but it’s pretty much all there.
Thanks for the recipe-—asparagus with bacon,cheese,and onion-—sounds like a perfect dish.
.
I’ll let you know for sure. I got the ingredients for sure.
Throw in a few drops of Worcestershire sauce. Had that once at a fancy restaurant. Lemon, butter, and Worcestershire.
Can’t wait to hear back guys. I think you’ll like it.
My last version I altered slightly - was good but not awesome like the first time.
The first time I made it, it blew me away. Repeatedly.
Like I said, it replaced my steamed broccoli when I could still get steak years ago. Last time I had a steak was about 22 months ago.
But I eat just fine, thanks be to God for providing.
I’m gonna ping the prophecy list because while I gave them my (precut) ham steaks recipe, I didn’t give them the asparagus one, so I hope they enjoy it too. I only avoided asparagus my whole life until about 5 years ago. Oh well....
I bet Che would NOT have had to wait 40 minutes for his sandwich! /s;)
I’m using Soy Sauce (see above for recipe) but yeah, right in there.
I usually put Worcestershire in my meats (made a chuck roast for Thanksgiving). Would be very similar to the soy sauce (I almost always grill onion pieces in butter and soy these days).
He would have gone off!!!
