When it comes to the familiar and comfortable, diner dishes have always been the best option – its quick and easy preparation means we get our food fast (good for those who are in a hurry, and apropos to label these kinds of meals as “fast-good”) and the laidback atmosphere in diners allows us to easily unwind, even if it’s just for lunchtime.
Below are the Top 10 All-Time Favorite, Fast-Good Diner Dishes (in no particular order):
Crispy Calamari
Anything deep-fried can easily be found at a diner, just like the Crispy Calamari! Crispy Calamari is squid, and then drenched in flour, salt, and pepper. After that, it is deep-fried to golden perfection! Paired best with marinara sauce, this appetizing start to your meal will surely invigorate you for the next meal.
Fish and Chips
Originally from the UK, Fish and Chips have made its mark in every diner from the US and around the world. Fried battered fish with a side of French fries has been a classic dish in diners.
Angus Slider
These sliders are made out of Angus beef patties, sliced tomatoes, lettuce, and brioche buns. Eat one of these for a mid-day snack and you’re good to go!
Chicken Burger
A chicken burger consists of fried chicken breast with slaw and chipotle mayonnaise. Popularized in the south of the United States, this dish has been a diner staple since the 1940s. A favorite of many, the Chicken Burger can have various toppings including pickles and melted cheese
Sloppy Joes
An American staple since the ‘30s, Sloppy Joes gained popularity especially in schools in the US. A cook named “Joe” from Sioux City, Iowa created it through excess cuts of meat – he grinded it and created patties, and gave it out to his co-workers. Since then, this burger can be ordered in just about every diner in the country. It’s comprised of ground beef, onions, tomato sauce or ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and served on a hamburger bun.
B.L.T.
BLT (which stands for bacon, lettuce, and tomato) is a classic item in the diner menu. Choice of protein is usually either chicken or turkey, and always with some mayo on top. You can never go wrong with this timeless burger!
Southern-Style Fried Chicken
This famous dish hailing from the south of the US is crunchy on the outside, but juicy on the inside. It is drenched in buttermilk, eggs, flour, salt and pepper. If you’re looking for a hearty meal, a southern-style fried chicken is just what you need!
Barbecued Baby Back Ribs
Baby back ribs are great, barbecued baby back ribs are even better! Baby back ribs are often meatier than spareribs, which means more meat to eat. The barbecue sauce is what makes it even more delicious – this tangy, sweet sauce is what makes the dish stand out among all the other diner dishes.
Breakfast Platter
It wouldn’t be a diner without any breakfast platter! Bacon and eggs, plus mixed veggies like arugula and tomatoes, will set you up for the day ahead! A good breakfast platter has been a staple in every diner around the world.
Waffles and Pancakes
The usual coffee with pancakes or waffles will never get old. If you’d rather indulge in a sweet breakfast (rather than a savory breakfast platter), this is your best bet! A drizzle of chocolate or maple syrup topped with whipped cream is all you need and you’re good to go.
DINER ALERT!
Here's the good news! A new diner will open very soon in Quezon City! Jet 7 Bistro Diner will serve all the great diner all-time fast-good favorites mentioned above.
