Danny's, a diner?

OK, I am going to lodge a formal objection here. Danny's restaurant advertises itself as a diner. Danny's, while serving fair food at relatively cheap prices is not, repeat not a diner!

Officially, a diner is a prefabricated restaurant, usually in size similar to a single wide or double wide trailer that could be towed behind a truck. The reason is, the diner, which originated in New England, Worcester Massachusetts to be precise, were prefabricated and shipped by rail or towed by truck to their permanent location.

I will submit that many of these diners were later expanded or replaced by additional construction. Diner served diner food! Diner food is usually abundant, good, and most of all, cheap. I will admit that Denny's restaurant serves diner food and is similar to a diner ... but come on guys! A restaurant chain is the antithesis of the diner spirit. At best, Danny is could be considered a "diner style" restaurant.
