A landmark for more than sixty years in the small New England town where my university was located, O'Rourke's was famous for being open at five in the morning, for its elaborate omelets, its original jukeboxes of forty-fives (complete with speakers at every booth), and for a chef who made the students try his new recipes before he put them on the menu.
