With the relentless march of the franchises on one hand, and the onslaught of health-conciousness and fad food on the other, that venerable culinary institution, the neighborhood greasy spoon, is becoming an endangered species. Well, fear not,
Roadfood.com is
the web resource for those of us who like our food drippin' with grease, smothered with chili and served in an unpretentious enviornment.
two of my local faves are there, along with
mouthwatering pictures of their specialties. I'm sure your local house of grease is featured as well.[
warning: will induce major muchies.]

Zippy's Pal Bites The Dust Anyone who reads Bill Griffith's
Zippy the Pinhead comic strip will instantly recognize the Doggie Diner statue, which was toppled over by high winds on Sunday. Many SF folks love the statue as a kitsch cult icon even without the Zippy association, but I only knew of it through the strip.
