It's a good diner, but last time I asked around while there, no one working for it had read Tom Sawyer. Some didn't seem to have an idea who he even was!

What diners and restaurants are you familiar with that build their branding around Twain and/or his characters? Some examples include Huck Finn's Donuts in Chicagoland, Tom Sawyer's in Boca Raton, and Aunt Polly's Pizza in Indianapolis. Interested in both currently operating and defunct establishments. If you happen to know what year it opened, please include that as well. *Matt Seybold, PhD* Associate Professor of American Literature & Mark Twain Studies Scholar-in-Residence, Center for Mark Twain Studies Editor, MarkTwainStudies.org Host, The American Vandal Podcast <https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmarktwainstudies.com%2Fthe-american-vandal-podcast%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cleej%40OHIO.EDU%7C4925858eb41b4b75effa08db65d2999f%7Cf3308007477c4a70888934611817c55a%7C0%7C0%7C638215727447293965%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=9u8iRIPGy6Ze1plAw31FTf1ZY8oCHn6GaXh0rXV87ac%3D&reserved=0<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmarktwainstudies.com%2Fthe-american-vandal-podcast%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cleej%40OHIO.EDU%7C4925858eb41b4b75effa08db65d2999f%7Cf3308007477c4a70888934611817c55a%7C0%7C0%7C638215727447450200%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Li73qOUYqYLzFLVkOnbfaHo6i81T89uMa6%2FDOGvy9kI%3D&reserved=0<https://marktwainstudies.com/the-american-vandal-podcast/>>> Peterson Chapel Vestry, Cowles Hall [log in to unmask] MattSeybold.com <https://www.elmira.edu/<https://www.elmira.edu/<https://www.elmira.edu/%3Chttps://www.elmira.edu/>>>
