Most definitely interesting, that's why I picked this one. 1553 B, so long enough. Created today (for my timezone) but definitely within 7 days. Vanity Fair is generally reliable (per Wikipedia:VANITYFAIR). When it comes to the article's content, I'd personally suggest changing "soon to be opened" to "upcoming". ReFill is also needed, which I will do because it's definitely uncontroversial. Overall, . Roast (talk) 03:02, 12 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Guerreroast: I changed the hook as the diner has opened. I also added the location. Thriley (talk) 18:27, 22 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Lack of reviews post-opening

I am noticing that most, well, all of the 'reception' comes from people BEFORE the diner opened, not after. I think this should be changed. 2601:281:D881:7F10:6409:4635:4335:2754 (talk) 02:27, 15 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
