We were there maybe two months ago and meet the new owner. Gave everybody a 10% discount that day. Can never finish the three huge thick delicious pan cakes they make. We always buy a pack of cinnamon rolls and other items from their great bakery. Make great Jewish apple cake. Like another nearby diner on the Avenue they are no longer open 24/7.
Had chipped beef wile in the Navy & it was really quite good. If given a choice of biscuits & gravy or chipped beef, it would be difficult. Enjoy both equally.
It's interesting watching this video, because in NYC diners are a dying breed, but it's good to see,this is not your normal diner food, and all that this Chef is making I know how to make, but many of the dishes I call it different but the portions are huge, and I would like to know is HOW MUCH?,because diner food is known to be Hugh, but 1 thing I don't like is the quality of the food, and there menu is like reading a book, takes long, and that's why I don't go, it's like you need a wheel barrel to get up,but if it's good then go for it, and it's priced reasonably, and that's why I don't go to MCDONALD'S, BURGER KING WENDY'S AND WHITE CASTLE, I rather make it myself at home, and enjoy the meal by myself and watch tv,or listen to music, and you know how to season it yourself, to your liking, even making pancakes, waffles, and French toast, basically anything, muffins to, because I like to bake things, like different cookies, as my. Mother taught me
My dad used to talk about having shit on a shingle like that in the Army when he did his basic at Ft Dix. He said they had a great cook that ran their mess. When he got to Vietnam tho, they ran out of supplies and they were forced to eat K rations for about a week.
It was originally called the Torresdale Diner when he bought it in 1961, not the Dining Car. My Dad and I would have breakfast on Sundays after delivering my Sunday Inquirer route and going to church, occasionally we would bring the family but usually, it was just the two of us. The change to the Dining Car came in 1976 and it became my friends and I go to place after the clubs closed. Fond memories.

Ladies at the booth, Sunday is Church day, not hangover day, need to be at church on Sunday, not out drinking all night, trust my advice , I'm old enough to be your grandpa's, leads to heartache
My mom used to cook chipped beef at the end of the month for the family when money was tight. It was a very traditional recipe in her family that my grandparents cooked, my grandma called that reciple "shit on a shingle." Its sooo damn good on a piece of sour dough
This teaches me a lesson now at my age of 66 years, watching the heavy looking people, its time for me ( my dr. Say I'm at the right weight for my age ) to start exercising more because by myself I have 3 chocolate shakes, and 2-4 quarts 2 Dryers chocolate icecream. I would eat the food that they are showing on this show.
