White Peppermint Bark
Any candy shops, bake shops, or farm markets in the Philadelphia area sell white peppermint bark during the Christmas season?
Ham and Bean Soup/ Lancaster County(PA) or Berks County(PA)
Where is the best?
Replies can be a restaurant, a diner, a church bazaar, a firehouse benefit or a farmers' market.
If a church bazaar or firehouse benefit, they usually occur the same date every year so try and give a time frame.
Please do not reply with a farmers' market that sells mass produced bean soup by Spring Glen Farms.
Cream chipped beef
Thank you for all who replied.
Some of my favorites are:
1. Ray's Malt Shop on Germantown Pike and DeKalb Pike outside Norristown.
2. My fav used to be the Main Street Grille in Fraser on Lancaster Avenue but they have significantly cut down on the quantity of dried beef. Still worth a try.
3. The relic known as the Fraser Diner on Lancaster Avenue a 1/2 block from the Main Street Grille is good for the price.
I agree with comments about Stouffer's. It is at least a B+. I can usually tell when a restaurant is passing it off as their own.
DK Diner in West Chester has small portions of dried beef in theirs.
I have read about Ida Mae's and plan on a visit.
Black and White Cookie
Where is the best black and white cookie in northern New Jersey-either at a diner or a bakery? Do most get imported from NYC?
BBQ around Hampton, VA
I usually hit this town once a year. I have been surprised at the lack of BBQ places. Am I looking in the wrong places? Hampton is not that big. Any names and addresses would help.
Thin Crust Pizza in Mid Atlantic area
Any pizza places in this region make Brooklyn style thin crust pizza or is all run of the mill doughy slabs like Dominoes and Papa Johns? The first test is that if you hold the pizza slice away from your mouth and it droops like a dog's tongue, it fails before you even taste it.
Pizza in Belleville, NJ
What Italian restaurant has the best pizza in Belleville, NJ?
Mazur's Bakery in Lyndhurst, NJ
Is Mazur"s the best bakery in northern New Jersey?
If not, name one better.
