I hadn't realised that 'a greasy spoon' is an idiom,but I knew that it was not a compliment as the literal meaning is kind of yucky.

Hi Turino!!
A "Greasy Spoon" is a local hangout in many smaller communities (usually a Cafe) where you go to get the latest gossip, whilst downing greasy burgers, greasy french fries and gallons of coffee (often stirred with a greasy spoon).
Dave's "fits the bill" in many ways; not least of which is that his Cafe acts as a clearing house for gossip, news and views in this small (ESL) community.
