With the proliferation in the continuing advance of co-ops going up and Diners going down one wonders WHERE THE HECK DO I GET A BURGER OR BREAKFAST SPECIAL AT 4 a.m. !!!
Well Vegas Diner is the next in line to leave us.
I personally am not even a Diner dweller but they do come in handy after a late night gig with my band or a late night gig seeing someone else's band.
As the seconds tick by Vegas shall join the "Was" list and will be missed.
Pictured above is my mainstay the Bacon Cheeseburger Deluxe with a Cup of Gravy on the side.
Onion Rings, Steak Fries, Lettuce, Tomato and BACON.
Of course Coleslaw and Pickles are served pre Dinner.
My last experience at Vegas fifteen years prior to this posting was a tad unsatisfying and overpriced but the price remained close to the target on this next sojourn over a decade later and the Burger was Delicious, pretty much an 8/10 so I was completely satisfied.
As many of these Diners are Greek owned/run I am always tempted (actually never) to get the Gyro Platter or (heaven forbids) a Greek Salad but how can I resist with a Delicious Burger on offer.
My ammunition of choice when and where you can get one.
The LIME RICKEY.
Vegas does make the Perfect Lime Rickey and are amongst a dying breed producing this Old-Timey fountain Soda. Perhaps before their closure in just days I shall cry into my proverbial Beer Rickey.
My first Lime Rickey nigh 30 years past was at the long gone and revered Richilieu Restaurant on 18th avenue & 64th street and my life has been enriched never to be the same again.
THE CUP OF GRAVY.
This I need not explain, Used to Dip your French Fries (and possibly morsel of Burger in).
Would be kind of sick to drink like a cup of Joe (Coffee) but remember in Food there are no rules.
Cristina got a Veggie Burger which I had a bite of and quite enjoyed, there actually were whole Peas and Corn interspersed throughout.
Flanked by Sweet Potato Fries, Onion Rings and the ever present Lettuce & Tomato.
The Cheese was placed separately for individualistic Vegetarian preferential guidelines.
While I personally never ordered a glass of Wine at a Diner it is on offer.
VIVA LAS VEGAS !!!
