"My friend always says Mel's is the place you go to every Saturday morning and see a bunch of dads there with the kids giving mom a break. It's a classic diner and there's always families around, so it feels very comfortable to be there with kids—even if they're being a little loud. We typically do a burger and shake. My kids like their burgers plain with no cheese. We're working on it." - patrick wong
