There are two couples at a restaurant. In the background one couple is looking at their menus while seated at an oven and stove instead of a table. The man is talking. In the foreground the other couple is busy cooking their dinner on the same stove they are seated at.
It is unusual for people to be seated at stoves instead of tables. It's also unusual for people to cook their own food at a restaurant.
Why are people seated at stoves instead of tables and cooking their own food? What is the man in the background saying?
The sign said home style cooking.

"Home style cooking" is a category of comfort food that's simple and unpretentious; restaurants often advertise this type food. But here, instead of being this category of food, this is a restaurant where, as indicated by the tables, people must cook their own food (like at home) and use a consumer stovetop (like at home). So it's literally homestyle.
