As a city denizen (and unabashed night owl), there's nothing I appreciate more than a diner: the unlimited coffee, massive menus, instantly recognizable dishware, and cases of pie and cakes…it's all such a comfort to me! This list is inspired by my love of American diner culture, its iconography, and cultural role as a populist watering hole bringing all walks of life together.
I am hyper fixated on my family eating cleaner these days, so why not share in case others are too? These stores have been able to help me do just that, while ballin on a budget!!!

But the convenience is just not worth your whole family’s health. Let’s find some foods together that are good for us all!!🙏🏼❤️
