New York City residents know you can get an exceptional meal at a diner called Old John’s Luncheonette. Eater recently spent a day in the kitchen, recording the cooks making the diner's signature dishes. The result is a variety of traditional American dishes crafted in fine-dining style, served in a laid-back diner atmosphere. If you love watching professionals combine fresh ingredients to prepare meals you love but never try to make at home, you'll enjoy watching and hearing from them. But be warned, you might develop a craving for roasted short ribs, fish and chips, apple-cinnamon pancakes, or a deluxe tuna melt. I could use a plate of those short ribs right now!
You might think it's getting harder to find old-fashioned diners in America, but there are enough left for Eater to bring us an index of articles about this truly American way of dining, with links to specific diners in your region. -via Digg
