With its indie sensibility, pierced baristas, and eclectic soundtrack—Bon Jovi shared the speaker system with obscure electronica—Diesel easily establishes its hipster bona fides. The pastel-painted walls and kitschy Americana (a diner clock, toy trains, a vintage gas station sign) lend warmth to an otherwise industrial setting of exposed beams and gallery lights...
Meyer collects as much information, or dots, as he can about his guests. If a diner is eating at one of his restaurants for the first time, the staff is alerted. If it's a repeat customer, preferences (likes corner table, allergic to shellfish) and any past errors in service (overcooked salmon on 7/16) will have been entered in a database.

Quickly, we established traditions: watching movies afterwards at the theater next door, eating all our post-game meals at the nearby Gemini Diner, constantly joking and talking trash. Each day, someone would inevitably hear a gibe about their mother and/or sister which would have made Marco Materazzi blush...
