Secret Diner (spoiler: it’s us)
The Secret Diner approached Anthony’s like a reliability experiment. Roast beef arrived with the confidence of a place that survived color TV. Someone ordered a sub “all the way” and learned verbs matter. Someone else ordered breakfast at an irresponsible hour and was rewarded anyway. We left greasy-paper happy—the highest coastal compliment.
Satirical column—original voice, not a single lifted review. Pair with the summaries above for mood, not contract catering guarantees.
