Do you like to eat out? Do you like to eat quickly? Do you like inexpensive food? Some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In the pest, people usually went to dices for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.
A man named Walter Scott had the first“diner”in 1872. It wasn't really a diner. It was only a food cart. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late-night workers, who wanted a cup of coffee and late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled-eggs. In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built diner with counters and stools and people sat down while eating.
Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in a diner at arty time. Diners changed in other ways too. The original(最初的) menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent(永久的) buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels.
Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually building with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modem diner.
