I'll watch Asians do lots of crazy things. But, that woman making fun of the fork was over the line.

Sid's Diner
After 50 years of flipping onion burgers, this El Reno OK diner owner had some stories to tell
After 50 years of flipping onion burgers, this El Reno OK diner owner had some stories to tell
quote:
He knows exactly how many burgers will fit on this grill surface. "34," he states with confidence. Marty Hall can tell you everything about what it takes to run Sid's Diner, all 860 square feet and 32 seats of it. "Its old school. It's an old school diner," he says.
quote:
He owned the Dairy Hut around the corner, then built this diner in 1989 and watched it become a national landmark.
"It seems like the world is fascinated with Route 66," he says. The onion burger is the star but Marty helped get it there. TV shows from every network made pilgrimages. We made our own trip there back in 1996. So did food and travel writers over the years. Marty and Carolyn welcomed every one.
After a half-century of hearing stories from behind the counter, Carolyn told Marty to write some of his. The result is a whole book of them called, 'A Burger Boy on Route 66'. Fortunately for us, and every hungry person out there, Marty and Carolyn still kind of like it around here even 50 years later. He says, "I wouldn't trade a minute."

Most of the nutrition-oriented food documentaries on Netflix are Vegan propaganda (re: FAT IS BAD) or sugar boogeyman films, but there are some good food documentaries that are not nutrition-focused. I recently watched one about barbecue from all over the world. Jiro Dreams of Sushi is great. I also really enjoyed Delicious Science, as it doesn't really push an agenda, just goes over how we taste food and how some of it affects us. I'm interested in COOKED soon.

LINK ]The Last of the Little Breweries (1976)
quote:
Produced and directed by University of Texas at Austin student Frank Binney, this 1976 documentary describes the history of the Shiner Brewery in Lavaca County. In 1915, German immigrant Kosmos Spoetzl moved to Shiner, Texas, from Bavaria to make beer. He soon bought a small brewery and taught his workers the Bavarian method of brewing beer. After years of continued prosperity, Shiner Beer became known for its consistency and quality. The small brewery withstood many obstacles, such as Prohibition, mass manufacturing, and Spoetzl’s death. The documentary interviews many of Spoetzl’s employees, friends, and acquaintances, who describe his generosity and love for beer. The Last of the Little Breweries won an Achievement Award in documentary at the 4th Annual Student Film Awards (now known as the Student Academy Awards) in 1977.

I don't know where to post this, so I'll put it here:

I liked the documentary on Jiro.
I also really liked 42 Grams which chronicled a Chef and his wife transitioning from doing pop up dinners in their apartment kitchen to opening a restaurant and earning 2 Michelin stars the first year of operation.
Chef was a serious prick and the documentary really did a good job showing the Narcisitic and OCD traits that you always hear are so common with these top tier chefs.

He also grabbed his wife by the hair, threw her to the ground and smashed a bottle over her head giving her stitches - during service. Lost his Michelin stars, his restaurant and his wife and went to jail. She’s in California making tacos now.

Yeah, I learned that right after watching it. It was one of those docs that you had to go to google as soon as the credits rolled because you knew the story did not end on the screen. It really was like watching a train wreck in slow motion seeing their relationship deteriorate like that while they were accomplishing so much professionally.
It definitely confirmed my feelings that there is no way I could ever make it in a pro kitchen. I would have knocked that son of a bitch on his arse real quick if he talked to me like he was talking to his help.

The little square burger devotees call "sliders." The accidental invention of the hot fudge sundae. The much-debated truth behind the name "hot dog." AMERICAN EATS is a fun, fascinating, feature-length tour that dishes up the truth behind the dishes.
