Quiz: What diner food are you?

countertop at the Ovaltine by Squeaky Marmot

Since I eat in diners on a regular basis, have actual credit at the Ovaltine, really should have a tag for the O for all my posts about it, and have done a diner tour of the PCH from Vancouver to San Francisco, this quiz has me written all over it. Especially in the following (perfectly accurate) result:


You Are Grilled Cheese


You are easygoing and easy to please. You don’t like change, and people can count on you to be consistent.

You don’t need or ask for much. If you have the basics satisfied, you’re happy.

You are a loyal and true friend. Your friends know to only expect the best from you.

You are a very “what you see is what you get” person and well liked for it. You are simply a delight.

And then we have the following. Also perfectly accurate, and the bizarre juxtaposition of which reminds me of the time we nearly had a tasting of Black Cloud Pinot Noir at the Ovaltine.

WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE!!!


You Are Wine


You may be guilty of being a snob, but at least you’re always drinking good stuff.

You can appreciate a good wine, especially when it’s expertly paired with food.

And while you have a strong preference for wine, you can appreciate any fine beverage.

You’ve even been known to drink beer on occasion, if it’s the right microbrew.

  1. I turned out to be beer, quel surprise … Erm, I mean “Yeah, so?”

    … And chicken-fried-WTF-steak? Judas smeggin’ Priest. Bloody hillbilly food. I’m more chicken cordon blue with a good Belgian beer.

  2. It’s “cordon bleu,” actually.

    Sure, you are. You just keep telling yourself that. Suuuuuuure you are. You’re the only one I know who searches Nerve.com for the deleted scenes from “Deliverance.”

  3. You Are Chicken Fried Steak
    You are bold and fearless. You tend to think big, and that includes eating big.
    If you’re going to go out to eat, then you’re going to order something amazing. No salads for you!

    You live in the now. You figure the future is uncertain, so you might as well just make the best of today.
    You don’t believe in moderation or holding back. You just go for it, consequences be damned.

    bold and fearless? i’m scared of cockroaches haha.

    but true, if i’m going out to eat i’m making it a real occasion!!

    yes at the rate i’m eating i’m gonna die soon so i might as well eat all the stuff i want before i conk out.

  4. If you ever come up to Vangroover or I ever get a passport and hit LA again we can go for some.

    Little-known fact: the Ovaltine has a liquor license only because the cops wanted to drink beer at lunch.

  5. Rain, did you ever get up to Britannia Beach when you were little? Until 1972 there was an original roadside diner there called The Chatterbox. It used to serve up the limpest fries on earth, but we didn’t care . the burgers and dogs made up for it. I’ll always remember laughing when I finally clued in to what the message meant on a sign on the back wall above the grill:

    She offered her honor
    And he honored her offer
    And all night long
    It was honor and offer.
    :-)

  6. Sulz, carpe donut!

    Ian, no, I spent my youth in Winterpeg, where I haunted the Kresge’s diner counter.

    It occurs to me now that the Top of the Hill diner was the best restaurant in Wiarton. Wonder if that’s still the case.

    I didn’t know you could make cheese from beer. How much rennet do you have to use?

  7. I am Chicken Fried Steak.

    “You are bold and fearless. You tend to think big, and that includes eating big.
    If you’re going to go out to eat, then you’re going to order something amazing. No salads for you!

    You live in the now. You figure the future is uncertain, so you might as well just make the best of today.
    You don’t believe in moderation or holding back. You just go for it, consequences be damned. ”

    This is kind of my attitude when eating out, but I really don’t care for chicken fried steak!

  8. I’ve never had it and am mortified you’re all cooler than me. What does it take to get that result?

    And now, I’m off to the Ovaltine to eat the same thing I eat every time I go there.

  10. You Are French Toast
    You are a bit of a rule breaker and a rebel. You always do things your own way.
    You’re the type of person to order breakfast for dinner – and dinner for breakfast!

    You have a quirky twist on everything you do. You are very creative and original.
    You get a kick out of trying out new restaurants, and old school diners are at the top of your list.

    That’ll be me! And I didn’t even have to take the second quiz to know I’d be wine.

    Great pic of the Bradinator.
