At Ed Debevic’s, every house burger, hot dog, and diner entree shares a not-so-secret ingredient: sass. The servers welcome guests to the vintage venue with tongue-in-cheek remarks and paper deli hats, seating them next to vibrant examples of what Centerstage calls “smart-aleck decor”: fake autographs, old-timey ads, and signs that carry proverbs such as “Eat Now…Pay Waiter.” The mischievously retro tone is cultivated in homage to one of the owner’s favorite restaurants, Lill’s Homesick Diner. Back in the ’50s and ’60s, Lill acquainted Ed with the classic flavors of comfort food cooked from scratch, showcasing the spirited moxie that made her a standout in the short-order world.
