I've driven by this place several times. Rumor has it, an intern got shot in the leg there. We rolled up at about 1:30 a.m. The place doesn't have tables, just stools and a bar. The door is locked from the outside. You have to knock. About five others were eating when we arrived. Slingers, cheeseburgers, a malt and fries were ordered. My burger came plain. I wanted onions. Two seats down, Jamie ordered hers with pickles. She got onions and pickles. I traded her burgers and then gave the pickles back. Perfect.
Before I finished my burger, the place was packed. Red suit came in proclaiming he was a male stripper, and singing "U-G-L-Y you don't got no alibi ... " Several others in the diner joined in for the rest of the song, "You ugly. Yeah. Yeah. You ugly." Proximity makes people friendly. Kind of like when you are crammed on the subway or train after a big event, shoulder to shoulder, elbow to elbow.
When we left, a steady stream of taxis was pulling in, dropping people off. As the guy behind the counter shirt said, "Eat-Rite or don't eat at all." Last night, I ate rite.

What a place... so glad we ventured there! And I ordered a cheese burger w/ pickles only to be saddened with the lack thereof. A great time regardless:)
Yes, what a place. I'm glad to have shared the experience with you! ;-) However, did Kit piss you off? You look like you might kill him in this photo! Haha.
wow, those girls are giving that guy in front of you some dirty looks. what did he say/do? ha.
The intern who got shot was Zack Creglow, it happened shortly after I started at the P-D back in 2004. It's not a rumor, I've seen the scar.
