Down At The Greasy Spoon Cafe Comments

Thanks for the positive feedback, Max, though I can't grasp the objection to the use of the word 'chance'.The Greasy Spoon Cafe is a great British national institution being, alas, destroyed by the spread of the clone culture of corporate fast-food interests.But examples of the Greasy Spoon Cafe do continue their heroic resistance here and there.

It's very readable and paints a strong portrait. Some really good lines. I like, 'The stodge, the leftovers and the fat, The gristle and rind fit only for the cat, ' for exampe. Can really see/smell it. When you say, 'all you chance to eat? ' are you using 'chance' consciously? I don't see where the 'chance' comes in, exactly, and I think every word needs to be conscious. (not sure if I do that myself, but I try) . Did someone really name a restaurant 'The Greasy Spoon Cafe'?
