This looks awesome, I would love to visit. And what a coincidence that you had that sandwich on such a historic day. I can definitely appreciate the local diner feel. We actually had a Mel's Diner just down the street from me in Toronto when I was growing up (same name, different type of restaurant). And they were a Canadian family owned restaurant. They had the best damn poutine I've ever had. But unfortunately they closed down a few years back :( We need more independent restaurants like this, and less big franchises in my opinion :)
