Secret Diner (spoiler: it’s us)

The Secret Diner debated ketchup and was gently escorted toward vinegar. Salt performed exorcism. Seagulls filed amicus briefs. The boards approved—we walked it off.

Satirical column—original voice, not a single lifted review. Pair with the summaries above for mood, not contract catering guarantees.

Signature plates to try

Curated from the public menu — verify pricing and nightly off-menu chalk before you promise the table.

  • Large bucket fresh-cut fries — Signature boardwalk order—vinegar optional, seagulls mandatory hazard
  • Seasoning and malt-vinegar finish — The regional religion
  • Fountain drinks — Salt offset when kids outvote kombucha
