Mama's kitchen had a unique design, you could see into the kitchen.
To the left were 2 grills, one gas likely as you could see flames
sometimes. then a smooth-top sort (eggs, hashbrowns etc.).  To the
right big pots and under it ovens plus sinks and such along the back
and then a door to a walk in fridge or freezer.  More around a
corner you couldn't see.
 
A lot of old diners were like it with cook's back to you if you sat
at the counter.  You could watch the cook do their thing.  My last
trip to Pensacola had us eating breakfast at one like that.  Nice
little place!

 
 
A few times I've sat at the counter of a diner for breakfast.  A good
short order cooks is as well choreographed as a Broadway dance
production.
 
Cooking, then keeping warm the hash browns,bacon, sausage, while
cooking eggs in every variation needed for a given order.  A real
talent.

Yes, and it was fun to here the shorthand.  Like hashbrowns done extra
crisp is 'well scattered'.
