People eat three times a day to prevent mouthy mouths from brashly blurting out their distaste for the rest of the digestive system. Today’s Groupon prevents inner-system quarreling by subduing chatty cheeks with diner eats: for $10, you get $22 worth of filling fare at Studio Diner. This Groupon is good for dine-in or takeout.

The old-fashioned diner sits on San Diego’s only film studio lot, which also sets the stage for the extensive menu of filling diner fare, served 24 hours a day. Salads ($3.50+), sandwiches ($7.95+), and burgers and dogs ($5.25+) are offered alongside the breakfast or breakfast-for-dinner fare, entrees, and “East Coast specials.” Start a day by resting a still-tired head atop some pillowy cheese blintzes ($6.50), or initiate the lunch sequence with the battered and deep-fried Count of Monte Cristo sandwich, loaded with turkey, ham, and two kinds cheese, and served with a side of raspberry preserves ($11.25). Turn around a misdirected English accent by filling your belly with the fish and chips ($14.95), or indulge in a supper serving of Samson’s prime rib steak sandwich, with fresh veggies on a toasted roll ($11.95).

The neon-lit, chrome-coated diner boasts cozy booths and an outdoor patio, and is an ideal place to enjoy a breakfastly peanut butter and banana milkshake ($6.75), or a nightly serving of eggs benedict ($10.25). Quell an after-hours hunger uprising, or gift this Groupon to a nocturnal night owl that looks enough like a human to feast inside Studio Diner unnoticed.
