Why are there so many Greek-owned diners in Jersey?

Pete Genovese sits down with Maria Kallas, the co-owner of Broad Street Diner in Keyport, to discuss why so many diners in New Jersey are owned by Greek families. 11/24/15 (Alex Remnick | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com)

it isn't just New Jersey there are literally greek diners everywhere - at least in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern states, here in Buffalo, NY there are at least 30, and this is not a big city.

@elchasai(open): I know; I worked in one of them over 25 years ago, and every once in a while I'd see a Greek diner elsewhere in the Buffalo area.
I live in Niagara County; not far from my door is a Greek diner called Olive Leaf(right now apparently closed due to the virus), and after making a northbound turn by the Sunoco there's Kalamata. Those places have great Greek food, huge breakfast pancakes, and very good rizogalo(rice pudding).
