In the first episode of Around Town With A&C, Aidan Phillips and Christian Bishop take viewers inside a local favorite—Marie’s Family Diner in Alden, NY. Known for its homecooked comfort food and deep roots in the community, Marie’s has been a staple in town for generations.
The duo explores the history of the diner with owner Jackie Kotas, who shares how her family transformed the space from a former bar into the cozy, welcoming diner it is today. With its small-town charm and dedicated staff, Marie’s serves up hearty meals that keep customers coming back.
Of course, no review is complete without tasting the food! Aidan and Christian dig into dishes like stuffed French toast and a classic breakfast platter, delivering enthusiastic reactions—especially when it comes to the perfect balance of eggs, potatoes, and, of course, plenty of whipped cream. Their final verdict? A resounding 10 out of 10!
