The Diner Synopsis:

Bob's Diner is a small-town family-owned diner famous for its mediocre food, but with a side witty banter from its owner Bob, and his wife Bea. Their daughter Nikki loves working alongside her family and interacting with all the unique town locals, that is until an unexpected visit from an ex-boyfriend, Brody-who left town years ago to chase big dreams (and failed) returns, looking for a second chance at love and a political career.

Sheriff Brian (Brody's brother and the only Sheriff in town) not only has to deal with the media circus that trails his brother returning to town, but he's also handling a very difficult detainee, Mrs. McAster, a spirited woman who feels she's too good for "a place like this". Desperate, the Sheriff asks for assistance from Bob, who reluctantly takes her in at the diner and puts her to work, and unbeknownst to him, his family and a very old history are about to collide. The Diner is a comedy full of snappy dialogue and humor about family, forgiveness, and the chaos of running a small-town diner where love is always on the menu whether you order it or not.

Mr. Aronovich-CAST 70's. Frail and small but full of wisdom.
