Went for another great visit to Dante Kings restaurant, Bubba’s Diner on this nice Saturday afternoon. He has been getting on my case about bringing my camera around, so today I did, and here is what I got. :D

Great shots. This must be early in the day, Dante looks far to fresh and relaxed behind that hot stove!

LOL Doom. You had to go and do it! It was nice seeing you and Beckybun today. Lets see some of the other shots you got today at the street fair!!! PICS! PICS! PICS! (and the crowd goes crazy!!!)


Dante, what were you cooking? :D

I was melting cheese on Beckybuns Turkey Burger. FYI, Doom is a purist and eats his burger sans cheese.

David, Yes please come visit!

tpetty, Fresh? I am always looking fresh. LOL. Actually if you cropped this shot I bet you could see sweat. Man was it hot in front of the range today.

Cool photos!
Bubba's is fast becoming the *Official* POTN eatery, huh?

Doom caught you at just the right time, Dante. :lol:

in my quiet moments, one refrain plays on loop; "Chocolate malt Chocolate malt Chocolate malt" :) I'll be playing host to Nifty 50 in a few days so a malt fix is sounding like a distinct possibility.

From all I'm hearing about Bubba's, it might be worth a cross-country flight!

Sheesh, man, you just gotta straighten out those horizons.;)

And the way that awning is leaning, I figured he must have the 1dsmkII up on the corner automatically photographing anyone that walks in.

Dante, you are one handsome dude in that kitchen. Don't get no grease on that camera.

BTW, did you have the name before or after Bubba starred along side Forrest?

mark:)

Bubba's has an amazing menu and the food is delicious! We'll be back one these days.

Dante King
25th of June 2006 (Sun), 17:55
All y'all are welcome! Typically we have 4-5 fresh fruit pies on display. We make it all from the pies to the fries. So if in the area, look us up.

Mark, that awning is not leaning, its Doom's horrible kit lens barrel distortion. LOL!

Dante King
25th of June 2006 (Sun), 17:57
By all means y'all are welcome. We are closed Mondays and tuesdays so keep that in mind. I would be honored to be POTN's official diner.

Mark, that awning is straight. Its Doom's kit lens and barrel distortion!!! ;):):);)

What happened to the big sign you had in the window proclaiming:

No Kit Lenses Allowed!!!:lol: :lol:

My servers made me take it down. It was hurting business Mark. Need to let those $100 buck lenses in once in a while. I did put a line on the bottom of my menu that reads:

"All Guests bringing in a canon lens, known as the kit lens, shall have a $10 fee added to their check. All Guests bringing in Nikon gear will have their bills doubled."

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in San Anselmo
California dreaming
On such a winter's day

Stopped into a Diner
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
You know the cook likes the 1DsMkII
He knows I'm gonna stay
California dreaming - California dreaming
On such a winter's day

One day my dreams will come true and I'll eat at Dante's Diner!

Well in a way. We post bank notes of guests that have visited from countries around the world. Have yet to have any from the UK.
