A couple of summers ago, I was in England, Wales and Scotland with a couple
of botanist friends-- we spent most of the days visiting the Stately Bogs
of Britain [sphagnum and such -- not wc's! ;-)]  We'd emerge dirty and
starving at the end of the day, and whoever was least filthy was sent
into the local fish'n'chips shop to get supper.  Only problem is, I'm
allergic to fish. :-(   But there was only once that I had only chips for
my supper -- chicken was available at almost every fish'n'chips.

The tradition of fish and chips, as other writers have pointed out, had its high
points at the end of the nineteenth century, and the beginning of the twentieth.
However, there isn't just one tradition, and it's not yet dead. If you live in the
north of England it's still rare to be more than one or two streets away from a
chippie, although the nearest one may well be a Chinese chippie ie Chinese one
side, fish and chips the other. Of course, the nearest shop to you may well be
a takeaway pizza house or an Indian...........

There are also several different traditions; different frying mediums - vegetable
oil, lard and so on, different fish - haddock, cod etc and different regions 
(East Anglia, Yorkshire etc) all swearing that their chippies are the best. 
Supposedly the largest chippie in the world, Fred Ramsden's, is just outside Leeds
in West Yorkshire.

It's also worth noting that it is (or was) traditional for chippies not to be
open on Sunday (and in some cases, Monday) because of the unavailability of fresh
fish. That is no longer a problem but a lot of chippies still don't open on 
Sundays. My family, and a lot of others, had a tradition of having a fish and 
chip suppoer on Fridays; fish-eating on Fridays goes back to the old Catholic
Church decrees of course and by far predates fish and chips.

Two other small points.  If you've dug on a Roman or mediaeval site, then you'll
know that the standard Roman/mediaeval equivalent was oysters - oyster shells 
come off these sites in their thousands. The decline of the oyster industry is
of course a different story.

Well, at last summer's Rennasaince Faire, I saw a guy with 
a codpiece consisting of, well, the head of a cod.  And yes,
he had a fish tail in back.

(Of course, two summers ago there was a guy with an elephant's

There's a diner in Clayton, New Mexico that's right along the highway
passing through the middle of town (it's the only highway so you can't

It's on Newport Blvd (I think that was the street name) next to The

Just want to say thanks to the people who responded to my post for
information on Grampas in NYC. General consensus was to not go there,
sighting overpriced average meals.  Basically a tourist trap.

I wound up going to my favorite restaurant, La Tables De Rios on
50th street. I highly recommend it!

I went there to celebrate the big 30! and did'nt think too much about
price. My husband and I had 2 bottles of wine, appetizers, entree, dessert,
and coffee. I was surprised at how reasonable the bill was, only $125!

This is definately on my must go list when I'm in the city again.

I have been to the one in Honolulo, LA, Boston, and Washingto D.C. . When ordering a burger or a sandwitch, I have found that it is well worth the price. 
However, on a recent visit to the LA site, I ordered the ribs and chicken combo, and while it was good, the portion was not worth the $9.95 price.

Dear Heather,

Your question is tempting but virtually impossible to answer.  Chicago
is, perhaps, the most diverse and interesting "restaurant city" in the
continental U.S.  Others would certainly argue, but I would prefer the
dining out choices in Chicago over New York or L.A.

Between the "Loop" and Lincoln Park (a relatively short distance, as
cities go; some 25 blocks) you will find a plethora of interesting places,
even some diners.  Indeed, if diners are your style, follow the advice
of another poster and go to Ed Debevics (corner of Ontario & Wells) for
a very "pop culture" commercial rendition of the 1950s diner.  If you
want the authentic ethnic "diner" try Sophie's Busy Bee on North Damen
near Milwaukee & North Avenues in Wicker Park.

The best suggestion I can offer is this: when you get to Chicago, buy
a copy of Chicago Magazine.  They rate restaurants and, despite the fact
that their rating process has been criticized, their recommendations are
a good guide.  That will get you started.  Then, ask around.  Lots of
the really funky spots aren't listed in Chicago magazine, like:

     Elvia's ( A Taqueria ) on 47th West of Ashland
     Thai 55 in Hyde Park (55th Street)

Anyway, have fun!  Chicago is a great city for restaurants!  Also,
see if you get "CHI.EATS" on the netnews.  Good clues there.

My favorite is a diner-turned-restaurant in Kermit, TX. Kermit is one of those
little towns in west TX that you have to be going there, i.e. you won't find
it by accident. The restaurant is the KDI, home of the biggest (2 lb.) burgers
and some of the best steaks I've ever had (It's real cheap, too, since its in
the middle of Texas cattle country)

There are two of these in Savannah, Ga, operated by the Savannah
College of Art & Design.  Both are post-war (late 40s I think)
and have been restored, with expanded kitchens & modern restrooms.
However, they retain the vintage feeling out front.
Don't recall the exact locations, but one of them is called "Billie's".
Coffee and cookin' at both easily meet Howard's definition.
 
I know, why would anyone go to Savannah and eat at a diner when the
city is full of good restaurants?  Well, not everyone can afford
Elizabeth on 37th every day.  Besides, diners are fun.

..and there *used* to be a restaurant called "The Spaghetti Factory" in
Philadelphia as well, in the 700 block of South Street.  My suspicion is
that this one was homegrown: it wasn't large, there was no trolley car (like
at the above-mentioned Spaghetti Warehouse), the pasta was better than
average, and they took reservations.

I just wanted to make a few DINER comments myself.  Diners are
definitely nostalgic eateries; not fancy, but very good.  My uncle
drove a truck from Maine to Florida in the 50's and told me about a
diner near Norwich CT called "Bea's Diner".  Her slogan was "you'll
never get stung by Bea"!

I have my favorites, but I want to see what this forum turns up.  I
had been thinking of starting a diner forum.  Any thoughts on that?
