Mel’s Diner, 1747 NW. Grand Ave Phoenix, AZ – (602) 252-8283, was like “time travel”, back to the days of the TV show Alice, however, the surreal part was that the service and food were terrific, so unlike the show. Here are some fun photos of the remote. Paraskevi Stamatouli, and her husband, Emmanouil Stivaktakis, , owners of Mel’s with Rebecca and the other gave great service and delicious food. They really had things humming. Check out all the photos.
