the diner

There is a real 50's diner in River City. Although it has relocated (close to my house) it has been around since the 1950s, complete with lots of red and white vinyl and local memorabilia. It is one of our favorite restaurants and we enjoy going there. But... the portion sizes are so huge that I can never finish everything on my plate, not ever, no matter what I order. It's pretty much a given that whenever the waitress brings our meal, she automatically brings a "to go" box with it. I attribute it to my German Lutheran heritage that I was taught to never waste food and so I dutifully take it home and someone (sometimes Sam) eats it the next day.
