Come On In! Everyone Is Welcome! With a surge in fascination with
Americana and a nostalgia for simpler times, a once vanishing
treasure is finding its way back into the popular culture and back
onto the roadsides of the country. Their names once tempted
customers with a little magic to go along with a meal--the Miss
Albany, the Mayfair, Webbies, the Night Owl. Now their warmth and
great food draw us toward a grand dining adventure. Indeed, the
American roadside diner is a place like no other, with excellent
service, reasonable prices, and conversation as plentiful as the
coffee. The story of the diner began more than 100 years ago when
coffee and sandwiches were first served from the back of a
horse-drawn lunch wagon in Providence, Rhode Island. Slowly these
roadside treasures evolved into the stainless steel railroad cars
that are now associated with diners. While their popularity
declined in the 1960s as fast-food chains became popular, today
they are gaining in-favor as more people want the personal touch
present in a homey environment. The American Diner Cookbook
contains more than 450 recipes for delicious foods that can be
found on diner menus nationwide. Interviews with owners and others
who have worked in diners and more than 100 black-and-white
photographs appear throughout.
