Here's a secret; you don't need a plutonium-powered DeLorean to time-travel back to 1950s America. All it takes is a single step inside at 1950s Diner %26 Hand Car Wash, 103-105 High Street, Prahran, Victoria, Australia&aq=0&sll=-37.851216,144.990308&sspn=0.008116,0.018432&g=103-105 High Street, Prahran, Victoria, Australia&ie=UTF8&hq=Misty's 1950s Diner %26 Hand Car Wash,&hnear=103%2F105 High St, Prahran Victoria 3181, Australia&ll=-37.850595,144.990306&spn=0.008116,0.018432&z=16&iwloc=A 103-105 High St, Prahran . This golden nugget of 50s U.S.A. has it all – a funky colour scheme of pink and turquoise, booth seating, jukeboxes, an abundance of star-spangled banners and wall decorations heavy on Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, U.S. license plates and vinyl records.

Curated by Arizona-born Misty herself, the cuisine on offer is naturally all-American (with a good helping of Mexican). Bottles of Heinz Tomato Ketchup and American Mustard adorn the tables, and pink-clad wait staff often take orders in a genuine U.S. accent. The menu is extensive, and features many dishes generally untried to Australian appetites – though most have a ring of familiarity due to exposure through American film and television.

The breakfast menu (available till 5pm) offers buttermilk pancakes, waffles, omelettes and a veritable banquet of fried dishes (sausages, eggs, hash browns – you name it!). For lunch or dinner – or perhaps a very hearty mid-meal snack – Misty's also boasts such American favourites as mozzarella sticks, onion rings, curly fries, Buffalo wings and a truly impressive range of hotdogs and burgers. A kid's menu is also available, as well as a salads section and gourmet sandwiches – even the famous 'peanut butter and jelly sandwich' makes an appearance!



American-brand soft-drinks, juices and beers are available, as well as an interesting variety of thick shake flavours – think White Chocolate and Oreo, Reese's Pieces, Cherry Cola. A wide assortment of U.S. confectionary is also on offer by the counter, so be prepared to be tempted by a Tootsie Roll or a box of Pop Tarts as you pay your bill.

If you're planning to visit during the evening, it's recommended to call ahead and reserve a table because this place fills up faster than Greased Lighting. Otherwise, just make sure you arrive with an empty stomach. Misty's is big on atmosphere and big on serving size. And there's always that deep-fried Twinkie for dessert…
