the locavore's hundred (?)
Friday, December 12, 2008 at 01:36PM
Can we get to 100? I've started with 10 things you should try if you come to eastern PA- it's up to you, readers, to add the rest! You can add a local ingredient or actual restaurant, or even something that may be unaccessible to the public- .ie: if you make the best vegetarian chili in all of kansas, say so! Just like the omnivore's hundred, this can be a little whimsical. :)
- Flint Hill Farm's goat cheese
- Local dandelion wine (sweet and syrupy but worth trying)
- PA Dutch diner version of lettuce with hot bacon dressing
- Amish wheat bread, Renningers
- Paper-thin middle eastern flatbread from Elias Farmers Market
- Lobster tacos from Apollo Grill
- Tostados from La Lupita
- Neopolitan pizza from Martelluci's (hole in the wall but best crust ever.)
- Latte's from Mas Cafe
- Homemade Peach Ice cream (with fresh, local peaches!), Kelly's Ice Cream
- Chicago style hot dog from a good ma and pa place in Chicago
- polish with sauteed onions and a beer at Sox Park in Chicago
- Horchata from a good Mexican restaurant (or Pancho Pistolas in Chicago)
- A Yocco's dog with everything
- Ice cream stand pierogies
- Funny cake
- Peter Brothers' bacon
- A pepperoni hoagie from Ruggierios in Roseto
- Cheesburger Sub at Sam's New York Style Pizza in Quarryville, PA.
- An Italian ice at Johnny's Beef or Mario's
- Mug-o-vera's Pizza and Ribs
I added a few suggestions from a commentor, so leave a comment and let me know if you have more!

I have three more...
1. Cheesburger Sub at Sam's New York Style Pizza in Quarryville, PA. I don't like the rest of the menu but I love their cheeseburger sub. I make a point to stop by there when I drive through Lancaster County. Don't ask how a guy from Chicago found this place. I just did.
2. An Italian ice at Johnny's Beef or Mario's
3. Mug-o-vera's Pizza and Ribs I like the pizza there. I don't know what it is. There's something that's addicting in it.
I'm headed back to the Philly area (King of Prussia actually) for a week. I might take a one hour detour and try out some of those places. I'm a sucker for good ice cream. Mmmm... ice cream. If you have any great ideas for the Philly, let me know! Thanks!
Where does one get Dandelion wine?
Hm... I made my own dandelion wine... I think you have to just know the right people.
A Peanut Butter Bomb from Vegan Treats in Bethlehem.
If you're in Northeastern PA during the summer, I'd recommend Summerhouse Grill in Montrose. It's a small restaurant in a restored carriage house, and their entrees include ingredients from local farms. I love their maple soda.
