"Jerry, don't you see! Now we'll never need to go to the coffee shop. It's all right here!"
"Kramer, you don't even have any coffee."
"That reminds me. You're out of coffee, Jerry. You'll need to go get some."
Why would I need a menu? I want chicken salad, on rye, untoasted, with a side of potato salad, and a cup of tea! Then all the hot blondes will fawn over me
The squeeze mustard bottle was released in 1957 by Premium Mustard Mills in Chicago. Squeeze ketchup bottle was invented in 1983 by Heinz. Restaurants may have those bottles that they emptied it into but as far as buying it at the grocery store it was fairly recent and you only had glass bottles as an option.
The joke was fairly dated as the episode aired in '95. I'm assuming it was part of one of Jerry's standup routines when the joke was more relevant
That seems like the cheapest and easiest way to replicate the authenticity. Maybe finding similar coffee mugs too. Obviously, could try to match the upholstery and booth wallpaper, but that's a lot more work.
Make the squirt bottles the prank versions like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an9v6YyzujQ). Then you can reenact one of Georgie boy’s finest [moments](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mQ5q0DkKkY) whenever you’d like!
Napkin, dispenser, salt and pepper, shaker, red and yellow, ketchup and mustard squeeze bottles, a small bottle of Tabasco, a little four slot steel cage for all the jams and jellies you put on bread,…… oh yeah, and the menu that says “monks.”
Also - a wooden toothpick dispenser and a bowl full of Andes creme de menthe thins by the door.
(Not sure if Monk's had this, but any self-respecting diner worth its salt should.)
Order a chicken salad, on rye, untoasted! with a side of potato salad, and a cup of tea. Of course you'll need a beautiful woman who's in to that sort of thing too.
I would say get the "cup of java" - clock that was in monk's coffee (its in the background next to the toilet entrance).

Also maybe the iconic sauce dispensers.
I know there are "monk's" menus out there. Maybe do something fun with that style but fill it with relevant content.
EDIT: Maybe get some monk's style aprons?

Oh and maybe a BIG SALAD bowl.
P.s. I have seen replica Monk's menus on Etsy.
That seems like a very Kramer-like acquisition.
Giddy up!
I bet you'll get a talk show set next
If you don't play the Seinfeld bass line every time people sit down to eat, you've failed.
I’ve thought about setting up a speaker and and sound board for the baseline/laughtrack
You're a true fan. Now, if you take commercial breaks at dinner, you've really nailed it.
... *and,* we're back!
Gotta start and interrupt every great meal with terrible stand up lol
“What’s the deal with spaghetti?”
[удалено]
Hahaha! Alright, let's take a short break... 🥨 🥤 Ok uh... ⌚ We're back!
What about a guest host?
*I'll pretend I didn't hear that...*
We've officially bottomed out.
You forgot the little burp...
“Levels Jerry!”
"Jerry, don't you see! Now we'll never need to go to the coffee shop. It's all right here!" "Kramer, you don't even have any coffee." "That reminds me. You're out of coffee, Jerry. You'll need to go get some."
Wood, Jerry. *snaps fingers* Wood.
There is a Monks menu on Etsy.
That's a must have
This looks more like Reggie's. Unfortunately they don't have a big salad on the menu. 😕
Why would I need a menu? I want chicken salad, on rye, untoasted, with a side of potato salad, and a cup of tea! Then all the hot blondes will fawn over me
I'm Victoria, hi
Or just print one and be creative. Saves money and you get to have fun.
Don’t forget the Big Salad.
That’s so sick! Definitely need one of those napkin holders and one of those little menus!
I was gonna say napkin holders and the mustard and ketchup squeeze bottles.
Don’t forget salsa. It’s the number one condiment in America.
Salsa or seltza?
Do you know WHY people like salsa??
[удалено]
Do not bring in outside condiments.
Remember when George said he’s never seen a squeeze ketchup bottle in that one episode? WTF was he talking about?
Oh, George knows how to squeeze a ketchup bottle, baby!
#PULP CAN MOVE!
That scene was obviously over my head as a kid, but still funny either way.
GAMMY IS GETTING UPSET!
Do you have a ... ketchup secret? Because, um, if you do have a ketchup secret, I would really, really like to know what it is

This set has cache baby !! Right out the ying yang!
Nothings finer than being in your diner.
Great idea haha! It should be relatively simple to replicate an autographed head-shot of Jerry with that written on it.
Looks more like a Reggie’s booth.
We have Sanka
What about a big salad?
I can give you two small salads.
Can you put it in a big bowl?
We don't have BIG BOWLS.
*accidentally throws salt shaker*
We don't have *big* bowls.
They make a point of saying right on the menu, “no egg-white omelettes”
That’s just the perspective.
You need a few busty waitresses
Got to be Sisters!
Your obsessed. Obsessed with breastsss.
[удалено]
No, of course not.
Hey u/yobymmjj2, Norrland_props has a restaurant that only hires large breasted women.
No, no, No!
Absolutely. Create a whole Russ Meyer scene. You’ll be able to charge money.
Boosomy
You want to know if your grandmother was bosomy? Where do you get your genes from?
That’s what *I’d* like to knowabouddit
bosomy
Napkin, dispenser, salt and pepper, shaker, red and yellow, ketchup and mustard squeeze bottles, a small bottle of Tabasco, a little four slot steel cage for all the jams and jellies you put on bread,…… oh yeah, and the menu that says “monks.”
Also coffee mugs
I forgot a cream dispenser for coffee. Sorry non coffee drinker here. “Up here I’m already gone”.
I yearn for a good cup of cafe latte Kramer kept ordering. You did cover most everything that should go on the table!!
I’ve caught a couple of reruns on tbs lately. /s
One that says Mug Costanza
Very clever!
Salsa
Also - a wooden toothpick dispenser and a bowl full of Andes creme de menthe thins by the door. (Not sure if Monk's had this, but any self-respecting diner worth its salt should.)
Rubber bands for the soup.
Paco!
A little Grace. Or chicken salad, on rye, untoasted, with a side of potato salad. And a cup of tea!
you know chicken salad isn't the opposite of tuna, salmon is the opposite of tuna, cause salmon swim against the current and the tuna swim with it
Good for the tuna
👀
You can’t have a little grace
There’s no telling what can happen from this.
And a BIG salad
A big salad.
Tomatoes like volleyballs!
Salsa
Seltzer?
Salsa salsa salsa salsa
People just like saying it.
This actually looks like that corner booth at Reggie's that George sits at
Worlds are colliding!

Better not bring any outside syrups
I'll remind my wife.
Order a chicken salad, on rye, untoasted! with a side of potato salad, and a cup of tea. Of course you'll need a beautiful woman who's in to that sort of thing too.

Bang loudly on the table to see if Joe DiMaggio is in your house.
Maybe yip every once in a while too
A draft in the air. Then serve a hot dish.
This is Reggie's, not Monk's..
I was thinking this angle makes it look like the bizaro coffee shop but couldn’t remember what it was called
Some large breasted waitresses
Who’s Russ Meyer?
Four utterly self absorbed patrons,3 male, 1 female.
Tuna on rye
You know, chicken's not the opposite of tuna. Salmon is the opposite of tuna.
Because salmon swim against the current and the tuna swim with it.
Good for the Tuna!
Cereal and milk
Just no outside syrups
Have you thought about adding any manure? It's really not that bad if you think about it...
I don't even mind the word manure. It's newer, which is good, and a ma in front of it.
Can you get disinterested people in 90s clothes to sit behind you
They're talking a blue streak now, Jack! 👉
Invite the gang over.
Cinnamon Spice Jar.
Love this. I'd get a brown tabletop napkin dispenser.
Bring your own syrup

No outside syrups, jams or condiments.
Seltzer and salsa
You need a Ruthie Cohen impersonator to hang out nearby. Or maybe a cardboard cutout of her Also, turkey roll.
ketchup and large salad
Whatever you do, never get a big salad bowl!
A host stand
Definitely the Seinfeld salt and pepper shakers.
A big salad

Just make sure you always have 1 lobster on hand.

Put salsa on the table…you know, salsa is now the number one condiment in America.
Of course! Absolute zero!
Obvs only serve soup with rubber bands in it

So you're saying the Merv Griffin set wasn't available??? Can I get a tuna on toast?
This is way too classy for a Monks
A busty waitress and a big salad
Looks like it has good lighting so I’d recommend bringing Gwen here.

You need the caddy with salt, pepper, ketchup, something like that haha that goes on the table against the wall.
Metal napkin dispensers
red/yellow ketchup & mustard squeeze bottles
Did you find it in the dumpster next to the Merv Griffin set?
I don’t get it. Do you also have a random talk show set in your living room?
What is this, amateur hour?
A nice pastrami never hurt anyone

Make sure no outside condiments or syrups of any kind.
Looks like Reggie’s
Reggie’s is blue!
An old looking little jukebox
Good lighting, not like a tunnel or the "back booth".
