Glenn's Diner - Chicago - July 2009










A Different Diner Glenn's Diner is different - they specialize in seafood. And they do it very well. They don't have a fryer and they get their fish delivered six days a week. This diner was also on DDD and it's a great place. The menu is on the chalk board and they had 18 fish/seafood choices that day! Three of us opted for seafood and one chose the pancakes. The chocolate chip buttermilk pancakes were the best I've ever had. The PEI mussels were served with white wine, cream, shallots and garlic. They were steamed to perfection - very tender. I customized my order and got poached eggs with crab cakes and hollandaise on the side. The crab had very little filler - all large pieces of fresh real crab - amazing. The apple jack tilapia (bottom left) was also delicious. That's right - the tilapia was coated with an Apple Jacks cereal crust and the gentle sweetness works very well with tilapia. I told you Glenn's is different. The atmosphere is casual and very friendly. Glenn's is unlike any diner I've eaten at - and it's the best one too.

Rosie's Diner - Rockford, Michigan - July 2009



Classic Diner I first heard about Rosie's on the TV show "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives" (DDD). Rosie's was a lot of fun. It certainly was comfort food. We enjoyed the roast beef with gravy and the beef with noodles. Their beans were good and the mashed was great. Delicious shakes as well. They make a dozen or so freash pies daily. We tried chocolate peanut butter and cherry - both were delicious - the pb pie was the best we ever had. They have three diners on site. One is a bar and the other will soon become a gift shop. There's even a diner themed mini-putt out back.
