elyse Posted: Aug 30 2003, 09:43 PM Actually, the Weequahic Diner in Newark came first. When Baum relocated to Verona, it was called the Claremont Diner. Many years ago, my mother-in-law gave me the recipe for the famous Claremont Diner Health Salad which, I understand, was always on the table there. (I never ate there.) I think she got it from one of her sisters who lived in Verona. It's an absolutely delicious salad! Am I correct that you have the original recipe for the Claremont Diner Health Salad? I have been searching for it for years! If possible, please send it to me???? Also, I can supply you with much more info about the Claremont and the Weequahic Diners, and Morris and Leo Bauman who were the owners. My parents grew up eating at both these places. So did I.
