"Fatmans"

(Documentary – 17 minutes)

A small town café is measured by far more than its menu. At Fatmans in Winston-Salem, NC, regulars look forward to the coffee or a helping of eggs and brains. But the real ingredient to its success is the congenial atmosphere that owner Mary "Mom" Pratt has created in her 40 years on the job. Fatmans provides an engaging look at the customs and customers of a diner whose patrons come to feel like part of a family.
