Non notable restaurant. Philafrenzy (talk) 17:39, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - though it wasn't totally clear in the last AfD despite the closer's comments, it does pass WP:CORPDEPTH. Several reviews in medium-to-high-profile magazines as well as, it seems, three different Food Network shows (see here). --&mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 18:52, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Article is predicated on tertiary source (a source reporting on other sources without factual attribution), and a dead link.  This diner would be best represented in reviews and other sources outside of Wikipedia.    There are some similar entries which might be worthy (but not really) of inclusion such as Peter Luger Steak House or Katz's Delicatessen but there are hundreds of "famous" places that simply do not belong in an Encyclopedia.  AAA guide, yes,  Fromers, Yes.. Any of these "famous" places will find mentions here and there, paid promotional local or otherwise.--Star Log, Lfrankblam, Kirk Out (talk) 18:33, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Again, as with many other AfDs you've participated in now, the present citations don't matter to whether or not it should be kept. All that matter is that they exist. This restaurant was featured on three different Food Network shows and the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources. It's our job to apply the community-created criteria for notability, not make up our own. --&mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 19:14, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep per Rhododendrites and I added a couple more local sources. --I am One of Many (talk) 09:36, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
