- Open or closed: Open
- History: This 13-seat custom-built Valentine opened
in 1956 at the corner of Tejon and Costilla. Two years
later it was moved to its current location. Sam Johnson ran it for
30 years. The current owner, Gary Geiser, purchased the diner from
Merl and
Sandra
Moore in 1997. To join the diner's Clean Plate Club, one must eat
all of "The Thing"-- two pieces of Texas toast, choice of meat, a
mound of hash
browns, and two eggs, all covered in green chili and shredded cheese.
Reportedly, the meal stands about six inches high.
