Philadelphia, Pa. : Morning Glory Diner, 2023.
Summary:
A menu from a progressive diner in Philadelphia (Morning Glory Diner at 10th and Fitzwater) in reference to recent efforts to move the 76ers' arena from South Philly to Chinatown, nationwide gun violence and the U.S. Supreme Court. On the menu are specials like "Save Chinatown...then eat BREAKFAST TACOS," "PO Eggs Benedict," "BAN GUNS NOT PASTRAMI SCRAMBLE," "SAVE PLAN B FRENCH TOAST," "SHAME ON JUSTICE THOMAS CRANBERRY LEMON WAFFLE," "TAX GUNS NOT SODA COCONUTTY GLORY CAKES" and "TRIPLE SHROOM FRITTATA." The menu also opines what the menu is not: "THIS AIN'T IHOP BREAKFAST PLATTER" and ends with "PLEASE FILL OUT A POSTCARD TO HELP SAVE CHINATOWN." [Two sworn comments from the cataloguer: I had the coconutty pancakes and they were out-of-this-world AND I asked the diner's proprietress permission to take this menu for HSP's collection--which she gleefully granted.]
