Focusing on old-school staples like omelets, pancakes and burgers, Amspacher's diner won national attention when it was featured on the Food Network's "Diners, Drive-in and Dives" in November 2009, Diners Times Three.
"His scrambled eggs are probably the best ever. He did something different to them. Put water or something in them. He had the magic touch," said friend and customer Ben Benedum, thoughts lingering on the eggs' custard, buttery lightness accompanied with bacon.
Long-time friend Doug Burns said many of the specials featured at The Diner, scotch onions baked in butter and garlic and a number of wild quail dishes, were birthed while cooking around the campfire of his ranch.The family asks that memorials be sent in Amspacher's memory to Norman's Food and Shelter for Friends, 104 W. Comanche St.
