Whats your fav. Retro Diner Dish?

[Bonbon Betty]

Hey there all! Well some of you know I'm a big dessert girl, but I'm also a huge fan of classic style diner food.so I was wondering whats everyones favorite diner food? I live in L.A. and there aren't any (that I know of), True blue classic diners out here. so I love to here of all the great foods you all have tried and where the best diners can be found!

YES! You're my kind of gal... Big and thick, thin and floppy, spicy seasoned or salted, I love fries! Love hashed browns too, and mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, I'm a potato lover in general :)

its all about milkshakes, as i said earlier but i can't believe i forgot about the fries! i love any kind, the greasier the better!! steak fries, seasoned, crunchy, soft, i don't care. you can even stick some hash browns or curly fries on that list and i don't mind. =)

I have to say mine is the milkshake. I'm a total milkshake whore (chocolate specifically)! It doesn't matter if it's a diner, a fast food place, or an up-scale restaurant, if they make chocolate milkshakes I WILL ORDER ONE! I can never have enough of chocolate shakes! My problem now is that I've become something of a snob when it comes to chocolate shakes...I'm picky about them XD

Aside from that, pancakes, WAFFLES, hashed browns, cheeseburgers, and FRIES FRIES FRIES! Yummy greasy starchy diner food XD

I'm so happy i found this thread!
I work at a 50's style diner in San Diego, called the Corvette Diner!
:) I'm a soda jerk and I make all sorts of awesome desserts!
you can check out the menu on the site http://www.cohnrestaurants.com/restaurants/corvettediner/

i think my favorite things to eat at any diner are cherry cokes, hot dogs, potato skins (with LOTS of cheese and sour cream), a big kids grilled cheese, meat loaf, chicken fried steak, and mashed potatoes!

at work i think our skins are to die for, and the platters are awesome. the Garbage plate we have is a killer way to satisfy and munchie you might have. it comes with a slider trio, huge onion rings, potato skins, fried zucchini sticks, and chips & salsa :)

DAMN.
Now i'm hungry....

Sounds like a place where I'd really pack on the pounds! I couldn't be around that type of food all day without eating it ALL. THE. TIME.

French Fries and Gravy (prefferably brown gravy)!!!!! And of course Cherry Cokes. I'm also a sucker for Pastrami Melts and Rueben sandwiches.
I like shakes and such, but after working as a soda jerk and learning that each pump of malt powder adds 200 calories I'm through. Maybe I should post some soda fountain drink recipes on here . . . anyone interested?

Absolutely!!! Start a thread of them, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's curious :)

[Bonbon Betty]
