About 40 years ago I was crossing the country in my '73 Duster on my way back East after gambling away my latest bankroll playing poker in California - And I used to stop off the Interstate and take to state highways to do some antiquing - trying to buy and sell my way cross country - And a t least covering the cost of gas.
So I'm driving through this small town in Wyoming and I see a diner with a sign like 'Hamburger Special One dollar' - So i checked it out - Best hamburger I ever had - And I'll never forget the grill - Diner must have been at least 50 years old and the grill looked liked it was probably original - 50 years of cooking history - And you could taste it in your burger - No McDonald's special ingredients, secret formula, or whatever they call it - will replace an original Greasy Spoon Diner Special - The historical hamburger made on a properly aged grill will win out every time.
So next time you cross the US take the time to check out the greasy spoon diners along the way - Food that is more than nourishing - FOOD THAT IS HISTORICAL!!!
