This is cool Damon! It's such a busy scene but there is a method to the madness. Wonderfully photographed with great tonal range.

Perfect framing for a typical scene out of a movie from the 50's where I'm expecting now some great actor of those times to enter the set !
For me it'll be the Souvlaki dinner, please? I let you 10$, keep the change (even if it's nothing of course compared to the talent here ! :)

Interesting menu. I've never heard of peameal and eggs though. Nice capture.

@Steve Rice: Thanks, Steve! For those who are curious, Peameal is peameal bacon which is the truly Canadian version of what is called 'Canadian Bacon' (but isn't nearly as good) in the USA. It is a lean pork loin which is cured but not smoked, and is coated with cornmeal (perhaps formerly meal made from yellow peas). It is eaten sliced and fried or grilled. It's delicious with a juicy salty/sour taste most unlike streaky bacon. It's called 'peameal bacon' or 'back bacon' but never 'Canadian bacon' in Canada. Canadians also enjoy 'regular' streaky bacon which is simply referred to as 'bacon' here.

Outstanding, love the details and representation and that big tooth captures my attention. Very fine image with a very fine camera.

Great contrast and a somewhat documentary feel to the whole composition. So many details to spot... the peameal sounds intersting indeed :)

A fabulous scene, so wondefully observed. The reflections really add to the image, so much detail to take in
