Episode Description

With a name like Cafe Nooner, you have to expect a wink wink, nudge nudge — but talking to Joe and Lorrena Filgas we find that this next generation has no idea what we are talking about — both with the idea of a “nooner” and what the heck wink wink, nudge nudge means. When they bought the restaurant they had full intentions of changing the name — but as it turns out, if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. And so Cafe Nooner soon spawned a Cafe Nooner 2 down in Hendersen Center — and when Food Network star Guy Fieri returned to his home town to record a local version of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, one of his stops was right here at Cafe Nooner.

I can personally vouch for many of the items on the menu — however my favorite are the burgers. Be sure to stop in and let them know…there are still those of us who know what a “nooner” is…!
