The date today is 9/02/10... 90210. For those of you alive in the early 90s, that means Brandon, Brenda, Dillon, Steve, Andrea and the whole Beverly Hills crew! In honor of this date, we decided to find a place as close to the Peach Pit as possible. Unknowingly, we picked Gatsby's Diner, which does not fit this at all...but ended up the most wonderful mistake!
It has an old depression era fell, but has left over Teppanyaki grills in the middle of the room. They use them so well that you don't immediately realize they are leftover from some place else. They grill all their burgers out in the dining area which gives the whole place a burgery smell. I feel bad for vegetarian in this place, but as a carnivore, hell yeah!
We were joined by two of the #BeerTweetup folks that we shall call Nixie & ExtraBrian (as in "Now. With Extra Brian!"). We might change their names, but that's what they are so far. They weren't easily offended, talked geeky, were funny and seemed to not abhor us. We like them. They even donated to the travel fund. That is some classy shit.
Back to the food. Beer and wine and burgers is what you should order here. The burgers are fabulous. Juicy, large, flavorful... oh, wait...what was I talking about. Right, burgers! They were delicious. The house cut fries and potato chips were also good and the green goddess dressing is a solid choice.
Go here, go often and enjoy some really fantastic food made by folks who love making good food and meeting the people who enjoy it. It's hard to find a place like this so appreciate it.
