Silver Creek Diner serves up American food flavored by almost every nationality that's settled here

Eggs served over easy, hash browns off the grill, a short stack of excellent pancakes made from a sweet buttermilk batter and puffed up like pillows, crisped and lacy around the edges, and a cup of hot tea. Everything was excellent except for the bacon. This time I got it, but it was overcooked to the point of being burnt.

As I ate, Diana Yi was making the rounds of the dining room, checking on all her guests. I didn't have the heart to say anything bad about the bacon, so when she asked how everything was, I just smiled and said it was all wonderful as could be.

Silver Creek Diner serves up American food that reflects almost every nationality.

And really, it was. Like art and pornography, a diner is a diner mostly in the eye of the beholder, defined not by cuisine or nationality or any list of thou-shalt-nots, but by a feel. Diners are comfortable places, where authenticity, skilled service and precision are sometimes thrown over in favor of speed, simplicity and an almost fanatical architectural worship of formica, vinyl and chrome. I will forgive things in a diner that I won't anywhere else. My bar is lowered every time a waitress calls me "honey," or I hear the cooks in the kitchen complaining over having to heat up the irons to make waffles for some knucklehead at seven o'clock at night.

And when my expectations are exceeded, as they were at Silver Creek, I'm happy just to settle into a booth and watch the world go by.
