Simple Pleasure Mondays: Custom Orders at The Diner

Beloved readers, thank you for your patience during our rather sparse past week of posting; Scott and I have been swamped with both ultimate and essays. Of course I struggled to embellish the wording of my sentences to have my paper reach the lower page limit (the COL way) while Scott struggled to cut 1000 words from his paper in order to reach the upper page limit (the SFS way). Nevertheless, Simple Pleasure Mondays are back and better than ever.
This week's hidden gem hails from the mezzanine level of Leo's: the Diner. The paragon of what you wished your middle school lunches had been, the Diner offers a virtually infinite supply of battered, fried, and grilled entrées. Although many O'Donovan's regulars are privy to this special inconspicuous aspect of the Diner, patrons are actually able to write in the margins of the Diner order sheets to request items/add-ons that (within reason) the kind Leo's staff will make especially for you. A few of our favorites include medium rare burgers, grilled cheese, a fried egg on top of a burger (now a special called the egg burger), and adding bacon.
Keep in mind that if you ask to customize your order during a time that is not incredibly busy, the Leo's staff is more likely to accommodate your request. Also we've found that writing "thank you" on your order is a great idea; it's courteous to let the staff know you appreciate their hard work, and it appears to make your order come faster.
Enjoy your newly discovered culinary freedom, and stay tuned for more ODOTW posts this week!
