What BBN said about it

  1. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentRuling: it's complicated. Fast Food Club says seven Greek diners in Massachusetts keep packing in breakfast crowds with big portions and small prices.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSmall prices. So where's the trap?

  3. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe report doesn't name one.

  4. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentIt's a list of popular diners, not an investigation, so I can't tell you what the owners are hiding, if anything.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNothing hidden? Then I'm booking a flight.

  6. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentTalk to your doctor about the plate-sized pancakes. The only catch I can confirm is the to-go box.
