Restaurants called “diners” can be found throughout the United States. They make simple, low-cost food. But traditional diner food is often unhealthy.

One group of diners is cooking healthier food for their customers and, surprisingly, they love it.There are many people waiting for their meal at the Silver Diner in Waldorf, Maryland. 

Ype Von Hengst and Bob Giaimo built Silver Diner 25 years ago. “We wanted to create an atmosphere(氛围) where the new families wanted to go with their kids and (have) not just a great atmosphere but also better food and cleaner food.” So they decided to offer healthier traditional diner food, like pancakes, hamburgers and meatloaf. They used less processed materials, like unbleached

(未漂白的) flour. They used meat from animals that were not treated with hormones(激素).

“And we started preparing healthier, local food, fresh food, vegetarian, giving people the lifestyle and the choices that they want nowadays. And they also discovered the farm-fresh food was good for business. People are going to want healthier food. They’re going to want better food. If you don’t jump on this, you’re going to be out of business.”

There are 15 Silver Diners -- almost all in the Washington, DC area. About more than 10,000 people eat at the restaurants every week.
