Dine: An Anthology

Daily specials. Bottomless coffee. Hashbrowns. Pie. Ah, the diner. We bet you have a favorite: somewhere you go for unforgettable home-style cooking and camaraderie.

This anthology captures 20 stories about diners and family restaurants. On the menu, you'll find rich and flavorful essays that drip with detail like au jus on a daily blue plate special.

Our contributors transport us to diners in center cities, small towns, and along desolate highways. At these restaurants, they come of age, celebrate life milestones, recall days past, find themselves, and fall in love.

Slide into your favorite red, vinyl booth or grab your favorite stool at the counter and enjoy this diner-themed essay collection.
