What makes a diner so specifically American? I genuinely don't understand. Brits have them too, and small family-run joints with limited menus and specials where people pop in for lunch are a fairly usual thing in Europe.

Diner menus are known for being extensive. The menu at the diner typically weighs more than your meal. Some are 7-10 pages front and back.

Yeah, in the UK we have cafes. They sell pretty much exactly the same stuff a diner does.

I don't think mainland Europe has the same cafe/diner culture UK and US do. Theirs are for coffee, beer and sandwiches.

Diners don't need to be next to highways. I agree though, it's one of those things that are very American that people don't really know they're missing out on.

>potatoes O'Brien

>scrambled or fried eggs

>BLT and similar club sandwiches
etc

In the same vein, in France we have "relais routiers" which target mainly (but not only) truckers.
They have large portions (often including a starter buffet) of rural food and must be relatively cheap.

[ieatinmycar No.16304707]

>>16304661
Really depends on the individual diner, but yeah pretty much. All diners have an expectation to be able to do a decent eggs with some common sides and toast, an ok burger and sandwiches and stuff. A lot will do seasonal and regional things like you say. Some diners close to the water will do lobster rolls for example, the ones closer down south west will have more items with in season peppers, etc.
>>16304673
Oh ok. I've been to dozens of diners all over the country and currently live in new england. Most diners don't have 7-10 pages of menu, because that's an awful way to run a diner and a lot of them are already running on a skeleton staff. Unless you consider IHOP a diner, which I wouldn't even be shocked at considering the state of this retarded website.

Canada has them, but they don't serve grits, chicken fried steak, gravy and biscuits, or scrapple. Nor chicken and waffles, but the "chili and donuts" joke in Black Dynamite hit differently here because that basically was Tim Horton's strategy at the time.

[Anonymous No.16308239]

Girts just isn't a thing in Canada, in all honesty I don't see a reason to have them. I live in Vancouver and I think I've seen grits on a menu once at a place that hasn't been in business for years.
I think there's a few places where you can get chicken fried steak.

Corn bread needs to be adopted, however.

In hungary, we have "csárda" (maybe known as charda? , thats where czardas-dance and music is originated).

Its the same concept, as in the US, only it was prominent in the 1700-1800's, when people used carts and wagons. Diners inbetween bigger cities, usually medium quality and priced food, maybe live music, alcohol.
So they try to cach that old timey vibes. (as all american diners try to cach the 50's-60's rockabilly vibe, i guess.)
