I agree with Moody’s Diner. The peanut butter cream pie is wonderful and I stop there every year to and from our vacation spot, 100+ times.
You have hit the nail on the head with he famous dishes..I fed them all to 5 children and they are a big memory from their childhood. When coming home these are the requested meals..Thank you..
While I agree with all of the above, I object to the omission, of in my humble opinion, one of the great diner foods: chicken or turkey croquettes! With nice gravy. Yum.
I think I have eaten at most of the diners listed above. I live in the UK, and I am afraid that their idea of diner food is mainly hamburgers. But the vast variety of dishes that can be found in these immobile wonders, appears to be unknown – or worse yet – unwanted!
Another of my favorite dishes is the Portuguese Kale and sausage soup, at that nifty diner in New Bedford (someone help me, I can’t remember the name). A great diner also has a gleaming display of saliva inducing pies. They may not always have booths (The Townsend Dam Diner on Rt 30 in Townsend, VT, comes to mind), but the food is always fantastic and homemade.
Thank you for the trip down food memory lane.
I remember all these goodies growing up in the Boston area. Very good memories.
