Product Description
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.

Not great, but not bad
I am a big fan of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on the Food Channel and was hoping for a cookbook that would give me some cool, "different" recipes. This one is in the neighborhood, but doesn't quite do it all the way. The search goes on!
EXCELLENT
This is an excellent book with many simple and absolutely delicious recipes. If you don't have a diner nearby, try these recipes at home. You won't be disappointed.
nice cookbook, but nothing new.
I had bought this book as I had the authors other book, Blue Plate special. But be warned, this is the same book only in a different wrapper. I could find no difference, and if anything was added, I couldn't find it. So get one or the other, you won't need both.
Kudo's to Amazon for a great return policy.
Bring on the memories...
Each page is chock full of memories, from photos to recipes. These are simple, tasty and easy recipes to recreate your diner experience at home. A very complete book with so many recipes, this one is a must for any cookbook collector.
Great Cook Book
Purchased this for my parents, who are diner fanatics, and they absolutely loved it. My dad particularly enjoyed the pictures of diners-old and new-from across the country. And my mom loved trying to duplicate some of her favorite recipes-liver and onions, apple pie, etc. Makes a great gift to tuck into a basket with a favorite diner gift certificate.
