Carly Sue’s Family Diner needs less family, more polish

There’s no Carly Sue working at the family-owned diner of the same name. It’s a fictitious name.

There is a Sue, however: Sue Byrum, a former caterer and hairdresser who recently turned from perms to pancakes when she opened the neighborhood diner — it’s really more of a small-town truck stop, without the big rigs — with her parents, Tom and Barbara Byrum, in the former, short-lived Mezzaluna space at 120 East Gregory.
