Why We Love Old Restaurants | Eater

"A small, roadside cafe in Quartzite that the writer sought out while driving from Sedona to Los Angeles; it feels like the kind of independent, out-of-the-way spot that embodies roadside nostalgia. The visit (January 2019) is remembered less for an exact menu breakdown than for the feeling: a friendly server whose approval the narrator craved, the soup of the day (recalled as beef and barley), and the low-key merch purchases — a hat for the narrator and a tongue-in-cheek "You've Got Quail" shirt for his wife. The place functions as a symbol of the pleasures of finding an individual, non‑corporate meal and the comfort of a durable, local business." - Noah Galuten
