The Frisco
The Frisco bills itself as a classic diner experience (since 1953). It's wood-paneled and dimly lit. From the sea of silver we guessed we were there on the early side, or maybe that's their demographic. The host was very friendly and easy going and were seated right away in a booth.
The only appetizer that looked Winslow friendly was the hummus and pita. The hummus and pita themselves were not bad, but they came with thse rough-hewn chunks of zucchini and cucumber. Who eats big pieces of raw zucchini? Anyway, Winslow loved this!

I ordered the 'Famous Frisco'. A burger supposedly unmodified since 1953. Thousand Island, sweet relish, American cheese. It was very flat and easy on the mouth (soft bun and fixings), which I like. The sweet relish was surprising in a good way, but by the end of the burger I was kinda over it. Maybe 6/10? Not bad at all, but not as good as I expected from the 'Famous' description. Fries were meh.

The coleslaw was awesome! Vinegar based. Sweet peppers. And it was clear they marinated the cabbage for a long time -- it was almost pickled.

Erin's food. The brussel sprouts were laughably soft. Winslow gummed them to smithereens. Erin's fav was the Mac & Cheese. The chicken strips were almost all breading -- which is not a bad thing, but I think she missed the delicious, juicy chicken that one hopes to find inside.

Our waitress was delightful.
Get a load of this guy! One of the regulars.
Total frat douche.
