In this pre-1950 land, there are no frozen dinners, no non-stick skillets and no fast food franchises.

Give me a break. There was plenty of fast food. There were the automats as well as White Castle (1921) and Steak and Shake (1934), to name just two, not to mention lots of hot dog stands and sandwich places and street vendors.

There were drive-in restaurants, even drive-in movies!

Absolutely. They just were not national chains. And the food was MUCH better. Whenever you find an independent burger stand you see what I mean.
