I was saddened to hear of the death of Mark Amspacher, owner of The Diner.
Since I moved back to Norman five years ago, it has become an integral part of my restaurant 'rotation' and I find I rarely get tired of it.
Had a friend come down from Chicago and she swore at the time it was one of those little nexuses or waypoints of The Universe that you just have to experience. Others I know have been pretty neutral on it or not heard of it at all.
From having to dodge the camera crew from Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, to eating breakfast three feet away from Coach Switzer, to one of the waitresses getting into a discussion of organic chemistry with me, I have good memories of the place.
Feel free to share yours.
I hope his family decides to keep it going, I'd hate to see it go.
