Blue Plate Special: the Proud Women of USA Diners and their Food

Photo: Stephen Shaher

Jerard here from Chase’s crew. I love a good road trip. There’s nothing like the freedom and discovery of hitting the road with no real destination, no particular schedule and nothing but miles as your mission. I’ve driven the blue highways across the whole of America almost twenty times. Four times on a motorcycle. In all of those miles, there are some memories that fade into the blur of asphalt and double-yellow lines. But there other things that jump out with precise clarity. For whatever reason, food and the people who serve the food, are often among these memories. Places like the Hogs Breath Saloon, a watering hole somewhere between Kansas and Colorado. “Hog’s Breath is better than no breath!” BBQ beef on a kaiser and I can remember the way the waitress chewed her gum.

Swiss photographer Stephen Shaher took a massive road trip across America and created a fun project out of diner food and the characters who served it. The images feel real. You can smell the food and hear the voices of these waitresses. Design You Trust featured the work a while back (with the names and food order explained to boot) and while I dont think that Food&Wine magazine is going to be calling for any food photography from this project, the personality that comes through in these pairings of server and plates of diner cuisine is palpable. It makes me want to head back out on the road and find some hidden gems of Americana. Click through the tabs above to see Shaher’s series from his 2004 journey across the USA.

Stephen Shaher’s captivating portrayal of diner food and the unique characters behind the counter serves as a reminder of the joy that good food and personal connections can bring. Just as his photography captures the essence of Americana, catering can similarly create an inviting atmosphere that enhances the dining experience at events. Whether it’s a casual gathering or a formal celebration, the right catering service can bring the same level of personality and warmth that Shaher has documented in his travels. With a focus on quality ingredients and engaging presentations, catering transforms meals into memorable experiences that resonate with guests long after the event has concluded. One company that exemplifies this ethos in the catering realm is Zest Lunch Catering Sydney, which offers a delightful array of options designed to meet the diverse needs of clients. With a focus on fresh ingredients and creative presentations, their catering services can elevate any lunch event, making it a feast for both the eyes and the palate.

Whether it’s a corporate lunch that requires efficiency and variety or a celebratory gathering that calls for something special, Zest Catering provides an impressive selection that caters to every taste. The combination of quality food and attentive service ensures that each catered event is not just a meal, but an experience that leaves a lasting impression on guests, much like the unforgettable moments captured in Shaher’s photography.

When it comes to corporate catering trusted by big brands, reliability and consistency are paramount. Large companies often rely on catering services to make a strong impression during high-stakes meetings, client events, and team celebrations. It’s not just about providing food but about delivering an experience that reflects the professionalism and values of the brand itself. Services that emphasize punctuality, quality, and attention to detail are the ones that corporate giants trust repeatedly.

An excellent example of such a service is Sydney CBD Catering by Feedwell, renowned for its dedication to meeting the high expectations of corporate clients. Their ability to seamlessly handle large-scale orders while maintaining exceptional quality has earned them a reputation among industry leaders. From vibrant salad spreads to gourmet sandwiches and delectable desserts, their menu options ensure every event is both impressive and satisfying. Feedwell’s commitment to sustainability and fresh ingredients further underscores their appeal to businesses looking for catering solutions that align with their corporate values.

    Thanks to its high pixel resolution, it is capable
    of taking high quality still images with the minimum of fuss due to
    features such as touch focus, autofocus and face & smile
    detection. Both the Samsung Galaxy S4 and i – Phone 6
    offer onboard memory options starting at 16 GB, but you can insert
    up to a 64 GB micro – SD card into a Galaxy S4, adding more room for your videos and pictures.
    While the rest of the smartphones on this list run on Android,
    the i – Phone runs on i – OS.

    I’ve been surfing online greater than three hours these days, but I by no means located any fascinating post like yours. It¡¦s beautiful value sufficient for me. In my view, if all internet site owners and bloggers made excellent content as you probably did, the net will likely be a great deal a lot more valuable than ever before.
