Farmer Boy Bat, originally uploaded by dumbeast.
Farmer Boy was great. They'll give you albondigas for breakfast. All the waitstaff are hardbitten old broads who've been around the block, and they call you "dearie". It opened in 1958, and they haven't redecorated.
There are midcentury illustration-style paintings and murals which play up the Farmer Boy theme. Another artist did a painting of the Farmer Boy in the mensroom. The Farmer Boy is standing in the yard in front of the farmhouse, feeding chickens. He's barefoot, towheaded, looks to be about 5 years old. Except for the head, which looks like the head of a middle aged manager of a Dodge dealership grafted onto a boy's body.
People come in there with the automotive swap-meet catalog and talk about the trailer they want to get--I've seen a Volkswagen van haul this thing, it's so light and balanced. One morning there was a gathering of old guys in the back corner booth quietly reciting an AA prayer. Everybody loves the owner Ralph Karleskint.
