Duplex Diner

Editorial Review

One part gay bar, two parts Arnold's Drive-In from Happy Days. Grown-up gay boys (age 30-50) cinch their best denim and pick one of three options: get gossipy in the vinyl booths, "watch the game" over a juicy burger, or blatantly prowl the bar. Mother's meatloaf is love on a plate, everyone else is your next date. Accidental full-frontal frottage a frequent side effect of grabbing a perky cocktail. The chandelier is in drag.
