After we get our vaccines we are so looking forward to getting back on the road and actually sitting down for a meal inside a restaurant! Here’s a revisit to a place we visited back in 2018.
Hamburger Inn Diner an integral part of Delaware, Ohio
The Hamburger Inn Diner is on the main drag in the central Ohio city of Delaware. Our family enjoyed lunch there last weekend. (Read our post here) I was fortunate to meet and have a conversation with Bill Michailidas, the owner.
Bill shared how the Hamburger Inn Diner is really a focal point in the community. The generous serving of Thanksgiving dinner to nearly a thousand folks is a shining example of the good this Diner shares. Besides, it has been serving the people of Delaware great food since 1932.
Since 1947 the diner has become the place for local citizens to gather and share coffee and conversations. Oh, the wisdom that has been shared in the gatherings for the past seven decades.
The diner is open 24 hours on the weekend. As you can imagine, the diner is full of law enforcement, fire and EMS personnel . Workers from all shifts can find a time to eat, and local college students can enjoy great food and a safe place to study after hours.
Delaware, Ohio is fortunate to have the Hamburger Inn Diner. Be sure to stop in when you are in Delaware.

It sounds similar to our Frontier Restaurant across from UNM. The frontier was the first restaurant in Albuquerque to go totally non smoking in the early 1980s. It changed it’s image and ushered in no smoking laws in Albuquerque. It really has decent food, We used to go there after doing flamenco shows in our costumes at 3:00 am. All the other freaks, law enforcement, EMT and students cramming for exams were there at those hours, so no one took much notice of us.

There is something almost mystical about that across the street from the university all night diner at 3 AM on a weekend night. Got any photos of the flamenco gang?

I do from the end of last century. Nothing from the early parts of this century. There were not a lot of people doing digital photos and phone photos between 2000 and 2006 when we were performing.

Sometimes I have to make an effort to remember those pre digital days.

We can get cocktails to go right now so I need to think of a restaurant with a sufficient bar! I’d make them myself but it’s not the same – I’m too heavy handed with the booze!

There is something about a barkeep prepared drink that is better than the homemade libation. 😉

I feel the same about salads. No matter what I make at home, to me salads always taste better at restaurants!

I would do almost anything right now to get teleported there for a few hours. I miss American diners and haven’t had a truly great hamburger in a while. Thanks for the share!

It will be better once all these places can re-open.
