Keeping a busy diner running is a tall order. Our chef-in-residence Bobby Flay pulls up a chair at some celebrated Greek diners in New York and New Jersey to find out how these family businesses are run.
There used to Be have a Greek diner in my neighborhood in Brooklyn the food was not amazing but it was good solid and dependable unfortunately it Closed about three years ago and I miss it a lot
We have these in Southern California too, but they're more burger joint/fast food type places. No table service. They're good though. I like the Greek and Mexican specialties the most.
Best Greek Diner...Serve good with love...Best customer service...Food is so delicious..We have been to this first class Greek restaurant many times..Love it...
Ever notice that a Greek run diner or restaurant (as we call them in the Midwest) generally has a lovely, good looking, family related hostess to seat you at your table. Talk about a Greek Goddess!
@@user-bz9xd4ss7p So ? I've seen american style diners run by a few indians and asians for example koreans and a couple of mexicans don't mean anything anyone can run an american style diner regardless of ethnic background.
The restaurants wasn't the first choice of Greeks. Simply the better Jobs with fixed working hours and stable income were mostly taken by other minorities. Most Greeks began with manual jobs like washing dishes in restaurants and gradually with very hard work they managed town their own restaurants.
We don't have a Greek diner near us but we have a diner we go to. They know us there. They have our drinks on the table & our favorite waitress will even bring the paper over because she knows I like to read it. Oh & they have great food too.
I think that all nationalities of immigrants have opened restaurants because their native food is something different and tasty that they can contribute to the community with their natural skills and hard work. Then the restaurant becomes a friendly gathering place and you have success.
The Greek diners and coney islands in Detroit aren’t Greek anymore. I miss the guys yelling at each other and never writing anything down yet the bill was always right.
In this video they talk about diners and in NYC it's a dying breed, because diners are not known for excellent food so I stopped going and usually they have a huge menu and my daughter agrees she won't go even down the road
The wife had a diner too. This diner was probably by selling her diner or it's her refurbished diner. It's more her doing. He does the daily routine but it is in her blood and real estate.
My dad is off the boat from Greece, I was made fun of my entire life because he doesn't own a restaurant. He was only ever a waiter and my papou sold hot dogs in the city. Being a poor Greek sucks.
You should be proud of your father and papou for making their livin and raised their family!As far as those who made fun of you there were just idiots!Greetings from Greece!

There is something about this Bobby Flay, that I can't put my finger on. He talks too loudly, is plastic like phony, and seems very much full of himself. Way to go CBS.
there are tens of thousands of Greek diners in the United States, it's actually a little nauseating. There are like 50 Turkish restaurants in the country and there are maybe 2 Albanian eateries. It is honestly quite odd that there are so many Greek places to eat, honestly there isn't a whole lot involved in Greek cuisine, every menu is the same. simple but good.
well here in America we refer to places with coffee bar stools and booths that serve all three traditional meals as diners and we refer to ones that sell Greek food as Greek diners@@user-yp9zy1yc2n

I’m Mexican and what I see here is the cooks are the most hard workers ever. God bless the cooks
I’m black and what I see here is the prep staff and dishwashers are the most hard workers ever. God bless the cooks
That Greek employs you guys and designs the setup the Mexicans couldn’t do that. Just look all across America!!!
Imagine Gordon Ramsay coming in and doing this in Kitchen Nightmares. "Look at this menu!"
Your wish has been granted
Petro's Diner in Hammond IN! is mine favorite hometown place!

I'm still mourning the Market Diner on 11th ave. I loved the Chicken a la King special.

@@user-yp9zy1yc2n How about goddesses?
@@user-yp9zy1yc2nthey’re American, yet often run by Greek-Americans, who bring the tastes of the cuisine with them. This isn’t difficult to understand

I didn't know Bobby Flay was a CBS News contributor!
it seems like every diner in New York has been named best at one time
Yummy love Greek food!

FINALLY A ITEM WORTH STARTING MY BUCKET LIST TO GO TO NEW YORK CITY. I will only go to NYC fir this
Whatever happened to your trip to NYC? Did you do it l wonder?
I can remember cutting school in my youth and spending time with friends just hanging out at a Greek diner.
Those were the days ..
we in Cali get Kringles shipped in from Racine to Trader Joes...by the Grace of God! it is heavenly!
We don't have a Greek diner near us but we have a diner we go to. They know us there. They have our drinks on the table & our favorite waitress will even bring the paper over because she knows I like to read it. Oh & they have great food too.
Best food in town
When I need to get the latest news and gossip,
I go to my local greek diner,
with my laptop,
and open up twitter.
How about leaving your laptop home and flushing your clittor and your faceSpace down the crapper and talk to people?
Wow!
ask them how often do they change the oil when they fry - rhodes island greece :-)
it is two types ! The guys that just add oil (never change )and other just check the color to decide when the oil must been changed !

@AC Cobra The Village Grill in Royal Oak!! All Greek all the time!
LOL. thats too funny.
Diners were never greek to begin with they come from anglosaxon american culture we do not have diners in greece.
Any one remember the Olympic diner on Danforth Ave
In this video they talk about diners and in NYC it's a dying breed, because diners are not known for excellent food so I stopped going and usually they have a huge menu and my daughter agrees she won't go even down the road
What does a greek say when meeting another greek? "Nice to meet you. Wanna open a restaurant?"
And so that hire Latinos to staff the kitchen if any Armenians can't be found. WHA?!
Such a kid...
Six thousand views and no dislikes? Come on trolls, you're slippin'.
The wife had a diner too. This diner was probably by selling her diner or it's her refurbished diner. It's more her doing. He does the daily routine but it is in her blood and real estate.
Anyone here been to the Broadway Diner in Baltimore?
well new jersey oops i stated NYC
My dad is off the boat from Greece, I was made fun of my entire life because he doesn't own a restaurant. He was only ever a waiter and my papou sold hot dogs in the city. Being a poor Greek sucks.
Hot dog vendors make good money. Waiters can do well also.
Spiral Breeze See the 1963 Elia Kazan film America America.
were they sabrett hot dogs?... the best hot dogs ever with cooked onions and saurkraut
You should be proud of your father and papou for making their livin and raised their family!As far as those who made fun of you there were just idiots!Greetings from Greece!
being poor sucks.
Where is located at?
Probably around Astoria Queens area. Most places are owned by Greek Cypriots there.
Bell aire diner is on Broadway and 21st street in Astoria Queens. Best food.
Majority of New Jersey Diners are all owned by Greeks.
Tribute or Attribute to success...
Gordon Ramsay would say, you can do a dozen dishes spectacularly or you can do one hundred like crap...
Open a diner
🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
If a diner is not greek owned...you need to walk out.
Hahaha very funny last time i checked diners come from anglo saxon american culture not greece we don't have diners in greece.
Greek food is awesome! Hands down!
There's no such thing as greek food greek food is just watered down turkish food.
