I prefer diners/family-owned restaurants, as well.  Hell, my family owns one!  But sometimes, they're not an option.

We need to go back there soon!  :D

Definitely!

Sometimes you have to look a little harder for them is all. But yes, sometimes they're really not an option at all. Personally, I would rather not live in those places. :) YMMV.

Yep, we're never in chains, but we do have Curry Mile on our doorstep, which fulfills the cheap and cheerful AND some of the posh requirements, depending.

snap.
We don't call it 'curry mile', of course, but in Glasgow we've got a huge number of Indian, Pakistani, Afghani, Bengali, etc restaurants (and my mate runs a curry website, so he knows the best places/gets special deals), so whenever we go out for food, it's 99% of the time going to be one of those places.

Yup. We were out last weekend and the husband mentioned it had gotten "much more expensive" as our meal (for both of us, although no alcohol) was just over £12. Ha. And super tasty, I feel I must add.

Just had these the other day and according to DF, they don't really exist over there unless you make them yourself: mini corndog bites. (Almost never really eat them but I can't say they are something I dislike...and are DEFINITELY American)

He told me there's something called Toad in the Hole, but it doesn't exactly sound the same to me and definitely wouldn't fulfill my cravings when I really want to eat something awful for me.
My, how time flies....

Toad in the Hole is nothing like corndogs, but it is yummy and not really good for you!
It is difficult to speak adequately, or justly, of London. It is not a pleasant place; it is not agreeable, or easy, or exempt from reproach. It is only magnificent... the biggest aggregation of human life, the most complete compendium in the world.
