All great change in America begins at the...dinner table. Very likely a diner.Have you ever wondered what a 1958 Cadillac looks like? Have you ever wondered why there's no 'i' in some jukeboxes? And have you wondered why I'm asking these questions, isn't this a restaurant review? Well, it is! And you'll find the answers very soon at The Diner (not exactly though...)The Diner proudly self-proclaims itself as "Hong Kong's only authentic American Diner", and it indeed seems so, with all the glutton
Have you ever wondered what a 1958 Cadillac looks like? Have you ever wondered why there's no 'i' in some jukeboxes? And have you wondered why I'm asking these questions, isn't this a restaurant review? Well, it is! And you'll find the answers very soon at The Diner (not exactly though...)The Diner proudly self-proclaims itself as "Hong Kong's only authentic American Diner", and it indeed seems so, with all the gluttonous treats such as milkshakes and burgers, you can't be too far off. But as we found out, there's more than just old fashioned goodness.
There's a little avant-garde in the way some of its food is presented, one such item is The Skirt ($155). This visually memorable burger differs from the rest with a wide rimmed piece of burnt cheese protruding from the middle of the burger. We advise to tuck those tasty bits back into the burger for enhanced flavours, but of course no one's stopping you from trimming them off! We topped up the meal with Pulled pork and cheese fries ($78), a delicious mixture of pulled pork, cheese and shoestring fries. The sweetness of the pulled pork was a surprisingly good complement to the fries, makes you wonder if everything does taste better with fries. Maybe the next thing you know, they'll be serving beef patties and fries!
While the Big John ($145) is comparatively less stunning on looks it's nothing short in terms of taste! Pairing the meaty patty with big bold flavours including blue cheese and smoky bourbon bacon jam, the result was a robust burger lined with big backyard BBQ flavours. The smokey savory flavors will make you want to keep eating it, until sadly...it's finished.While the Diner hasn't solved all our questions regarding the Midwestern American 60s restaurant phenomenon, it has definitely given us HKers a good bite hot off the griddle.
