Notes: James Arthur Whitcomb founded the Baltimore Dairy Lunch in the 1880s, and by 1921, there were 104 locations in different cities. J.A. Whitcomb also patented the one-arm chair used in his quick lunches – later used in shorthand, medical and law schools – though Henry Bowles of Bowles Lunch, who once worked for Whitcomb, claims to have been the first quick lunch to use the one-arm chair in his chain.

James Thurber made reference to a Baltimore Dairy Lunch at Broad and High Streets in Columbus, Ohio and to one in Chicago; so, they weren't just located on the Atlantic Seaboard.
