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.

Groupon Says
Do You Need to Eat?
Do you need to eat? No. At least, you don't need to eat food when there is so much else that can fill you up instead. Here are some of the non-food items you can fill up on:
Fill Up On...Book Learning: Author and inventor of cigarettes Mark Twain once said, "A book is like a bottle of health tonic—it comes encased in glass, and waving it at a panther will only enrage the zoo's curators." Twain was the smartest person ever to use a fake name and was known for reading three books a day and eating zero meals. Of course, all of his hair and clothing turned white, but he experienced no health disruptions beyond that.
Fill Up On...Romance: The world's most famous lovers, from Casanova to Manhattan Project scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer, all shared one secret—they never ate food. This allowed them to keep a lean figure and to cultivate a confused mental state that women love. Besides, isn't the heart the hungriest organ? Besides the stomach, that is.
Fill Up On...Rage: "Nothing fills you up like anger," says the Bible. Instead of eating a bunch of unhealthy fruits or vegetables, just think about your life's disappointments and how you can blame others for them. Remember, if you don't get 2,100 calories of yelling each day, you may become forgettable.
