Dinah's is still here in L.A., a few miles north

of the Airport. IF you ever get your Uber car at the terminal under the new off-site pick-up rules (snort! snort! giggle!) you can ask the driver to stop off there. Lum's featured beer filled with hot dogs. Philippe's has achieved Historical Site Status and you can still get a five-cent cup of coffee (but no refills), a pickled egg and a dipped lamb sandwich while shuffling around in the sawdust.

Howard Johnsons - we were once treated as kids, must have been on our best behavior that day. And my wise-ass cousin asked the waitress to name all the ice cream flavors (24 I think?). And when she got done, he scratched his head thoughtfully and said, "Oh, I'll just have a Pepsi." We were never taken there again.

The others - I don't remember. Maybe in locations other than Florida or Los Angeles? After that 24 Flavors Debacle, I didn't eat out much.
