I'm making a diner themed level in a video game and I don't have diners in my country. Seems to be a United States only thing, so I'm asking here for help. What's some common foods that you'd find in a diner that I can put on the menu in the video game?

I already have cheeseburgers and pancakes, I need one more food. I want something that I can 3D model myself though, so give me several suggestions and I can pick something that is both common/recognisable and easy to model and texture.

Update: Thank you everybody for all the suggestions! I'm going to go with spaghetti, and a regional fucked up diner food. Feel free to keep discussing or suggest more menu items. I might add a fifth but it's unlikely.

    I live in New Jersey and diners are like one of the 5 things we do right, so I have some background here.

    1. Large American breakfasts - eggs/omelets, bacon, pancakes, waffles, etc. Accompanied with bottomless coffee.

    2. A huge variety of burgers and hot sandwiches, always served with fries. Old school way would specifically be steak fries.

    3. An abundance of baked good deserts, usually located near the cash register so you can make a poor last-minute decision. These are almost never baked on site.

    4. Dinner is usually an assortment of fried foods. There are always a ton of fancy meals on the extensive menu that no one orders.

    5. Milkshakes.

    6. In New Jersey specifically, diners serve what's called "disco fries" which are an excellent knockoff of poutine. Steak fries, brown gravy, mozzarella cheese.

            I'm sure that someone is pocketing most of the beach entrance fees, they can't cost that much to maintain beyond trash pickup and the lifeguards that are regrettably paid like $12/hour to prevent people from dying. Should be paid for with state taxes.

      The coffee is undrinkable swill. The desserts are garbage too. I can see you've never been to a real European bakery. Or had real European coffee.
