UK - London - Man eating in a Greasy Spoon cafe

Dave, a local Elvis impersonator, having his lunch of baked beans on toast and eggs in a greasy spoon cafe in North London. The greasy spoon caf is a British institution where people can buy cheap food in simple surroundings. They are visited by poor and affluent alike. Greasy spoon is a colloquial or slang term originating in the United States of America to mean a small, especially cheap, archetypal working class restaurant or diner. The term is now used in many English speaking countries to mean the same thing. The name "greasy spoon" is used to imply a less-than-rigorous approach to hygiene and appears in use in the early 20th century.
