The Southern Diners That Still Feel Like Home
Diners are magical places. They're the kind of place where the world comes together, where anything can happen, and where everything is made better by a hot cup of coffee and slice of pie. Step inside a diner anywhere in America and you'll find folks from all walks of life—a parent treating their kid to breakfast out, a first responder unwinding after an overnight shift, a group of teens giggling over pancakes. Some of our favorite scenes in cinematic history unfolded against the familiar backdrop of a 1950s-era diner, and some of our favorite memories from growing up were made in those same red vinyl booths. In the South, we love a good diner. We love that diners are built on tradition, on tall tales, and on simple, but always delicious food. Here are 14 diners across the South where we'd love to sit a spell.

6 Shreveport restaurants flagged for critical health violations
The Times obtained food safety inspection information for Aug. 16-29 from the Louisiana Department of Health. The top six addresses with the most critical violations in Caddo Parish are listed, along with an explanation of the findings. The restaurants on the list had at least three critical violations. According to the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, uncorrected critical violations are more likely to contribute to food contamination or illness. Less serious violations are not directly related to foodborne illness but could become hazardous if uncorrected. The Louisiana Department of Health's retail food health inspections dashboard includes a history of each establishment's inspection reports. Inspections should be considered a "snapshot" and might not always reflect an establishment's day-to-day operations and overall condition. Violations fall into two main categories: critical and non-critical. Critical violations are more likely to contribute directly to food contamination or illness if left uncorrected. Non-critical violations are not directly related to the cause of food borne illness but could become critical if left uncorrected. The DHH dashboard is updated daily; however, there is a seven-day delay between when inspections are made and posted online.
