I’ve been at Diner thought it would be a nice place to be if the world was ending tomorrow. And if the world was ending I’d definitely get the chocolate cake for dessert.
Jenni Ferrari-Adler is the editor of Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant, a collection of short-attention span essays on dining alone. It's the perfect beach read for people like you and me. I especially love the essays from Jeremy Jackson, on the glory of the lowly black bean, and Rattawut Lapcharoensap, who wrote a hilarious food memory about "idiot" ramen.
I've been going to Diner since the day they opened and I couldn't agree with you more. Marc and Andrew are fantastic!
