Angel’s Dining Car

It is lunch time.  Since we are still in Palatka, we check out some famous local eats at Angels Dining Car.  It is billed as the oldest diner in Florida.  I think I can believe that.  It is a long narrow space with counter stools down the center and booths for maybe a dozen along the outside wall.  Everything has multiple coats of paint.  There are old juke box speakers and vintage 45s hanging on the wall.  The food?  Not bad.  I try a diner original, a black bottom sandwich (bacon and ground beef stirred into eggs and fried into a bun sized disc).  Add some cheese, tomato and lettuce and schmear of mayo.  I am not sure how it got its name, it is not black bottomed, but it is tasty.  Carol’s onion rings are yummy as is the lobster bisque.  Kent stayed a bit more main stream with a club and fries, also not bad. I top it off with their dessert of the day, peach cream pie. I expected a cream pie with peach chunks in the filling but nope, it is a standard peach pie with whipped cream on the top.  Still, so good.
