Title: Mike from The Usual
Post by: iamasq on November 27, 2013, 12:24:05 PM
If I'm correct, the Led Zeppelin fan who called in last night is Mike, one-half of the brothers who run the best diner in Prospect Heights, The Usual on Vanderbilt. The place has great food and shows deep love of all things Zeppelin. Case in point: the murals.

Also, they are Montrealers by birth and thus huge Habs fans... (extra points)

Oh! And Mike was on another radio show recently... to talk about the fact that up until this year, he had never used the internet!

In short, great place. great dude.

Haven't listened to the show yet, but reading your post, I was thinking to myself "diner...Zeppelin...Montreal...Why have I heard of this guy before?" I listened to that OTM podcast with him recently. Hearing someone in 2013 find out what you can do on the internet was interesting.
