“Well,
it’s one for the money
Two
for the show
Three
to get ready
Now
go, cat go
But
don’t you
Step
on my blue suede shoes
You
can do anything
But
stay off of my blue suede shoes …”
~ “Blue Suede Shoes”
~ Written & recorded by Carl Perkins
~ 1955
~ Recorded by the great Elvis
Presley
~ 1956
The
King of Rock ’n’ Roll and The King of Country meet as a young Elvis Presley and
Johnny Cash pose for a 1950s snapshot showcased on the wall of Charlotte Fay’s
Main Street Diner, Slatington, Pennsylvania.
Elvis
Presley’s “Blue Suede Shoes” may well be one of the hits you hear playing at
Charlotte Fay’s, where retro is king at this cool and cozy eatery.
The
King of Rock ‘n’ Roll is well represented at Charlotte Fay’s, joined by photos
spotlighting retro icons such as Elizabeth Taylor and James Dean in the 1956
film “Giant,” Marilyn Monroe and Route 66. There’s also a nod to the New Jersey
Seashore and Steel Pier. The large map depicts President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s
National System of Interstate and Defense Highways, championed by the
then-president when it was formed June 29, 1956.
And
of course there’s the tasty food, wonderful to nosh on as you drink in the nostalgic
atmosphere. Owner Jason Ruff named the diner after both his great-grandmothers,
and uses their recipes.
The
menu and atmosphere are the perfect mix to stir up a recipe for success fit for
a king.
