With its unlimited comfort-food options, it’s no wonder that the diner is a favorite place in America. Not to mention that eating at one often leads to a trip down memory lane — a little nostalgia helps the food taste better. That’s what host Richard Blais proved in this past Monday’s episode of Hungry Games. He also revealed how the many menu options affect diners. Along with some diner slang, viewers learned that there’s more to the all-American diner than meets the eye. But the best part about frequenting one might just be the total experience.
