Eating My Way Across PA
Anyone who knows me knows I’m a food lover. No, not a snobby “foodie.” Just someone who loves a good meal.
Since I’ll hopefully be driving all over the Commonwealth meeting PR, marketing and development pros I’d love to get some recommendations on where to eat. Good local places, no chains please.
I’ll start off the conversation by recommending Pennsylvania BBQ, just outside Indiana, Pa. Friendly, family owned and a nice “log cabiny” atmosphere. The menu features smoked baby back ribs, chicken and pulled pork sandwiches (“Put Some Pork on Your Fork” is the restaurant’s tagline) along with cornbread, cole slaw and baked beans. I tried it all. Trust me, it’s good. Check them out at www.pabbq.net.
After you’re done swabbing yourself off with a few dozen wet-naps, drive over to the Meadows to get a great frozen custard (www.meadowsfrozencustard.com). The Meadows has 17 sites in PA but hasn’t quite reached my area yet so I depend on trips out to central and western PA to get my fix. You have to love a place that is still serving the same recipe it started with in 1950. No politically correct, low-fat crap here. Just high-fat, artery clogging goodness. God I love it.
E-mail me with your “Best Places to Eat in PA” and I’ll post your recommendation.
