Eats and cars, cars and eats. In the first half of the 20th century, the automobile was rapidly evolving. As the autonomous transportation revolution swept across the land, so did the landscape and architecture. Wooden inns where horse-drawn wagons used to stop - so the passengers and the motive power could refresh, feed and get watered - were replaced by eateries where patrons could arrive on foot, or by automobile, and order two eggs, scrambled, on toast (translated into counter staff lingo in this post's title). The drive-in and drive-through restaurant were not yet universal, but streamlined eateries like this one were showing up in cites, and along highways.
This particular eatery is has a direct connection with figure from the automotive industry, and was penned in the pre-WWII era. Who is the person, and what is this place called? While you work on this one, I'll go sweep the kitchen with Noah's boy.
