my father met my mother while deer hunting there. Gma used to rent her home out to hunters post WW2. Great deer hunting as well.
Redrock Hoagies at the RedRock corner store. Huge , amazing and delicious. If your lucky enough to be there on a Friday, try the meatball hoagie.

Ladies of the Dukes in New Castle, PA.
It is an Italian women's club. Only open on Sunday. Great sauce. The spaghetti is homemade.

Unique food to the Quakertown, Souderton, Harleysville area:
Funny Cake
Pour cake batter into a pie crust.
Pour a chocolate filling over top of the batter which sinks to the bottom.
Bake
It's funny since it's a cake in a pie dish!
It's funny since the chocolate is poured on top and it sinks to the bottom!
It's funny since the icing for the cake is on the bottom!
It's a great "cake" with coffee in the morning.

Try the kielbasa loaf sliced on New York Bakery's rye with swiss cheese and brown mustard. Also, good grilled.
Cut small chunks of kielbasa loaf. Brown, simmer with Rose's Sauce. See thier webpage. Great appetizer.
Can you still get a “Shifter” at Hinkle’s? My dad loved them.
As a kid, my friend and I would walk into town on a Saturday night. We would go to the movie at the State Theatre, walk over to Joe’s, King of Steaks, at 5 points for a steak sandwich with a cherry coke and walk back home.

Been there. Great ride to and from there also. On Route 31 I believe.not my town (or state) but Hot Dog Johnny's in NJ- not for the dogs- for the fries
Yes, shifter's are still on the menu. Just had one on Saturday. Still very good! The name ""Shifter" came about as a result of the men who worked on the railroad. While the trains were being shifted from one set of tracks to another the guys on the railroad would run up to Hinkle's and grab a quick sandwich resulting in the "Shifter sandwich". Joe's is still open and doing well. If you remember the State Theater, you are an old head, just like me!
Jethro's was formerly owned or co-owned by a guy named Korn's who was a record setting QB at Franklin and Marshal college. Not sure if he's still connected to Jethro's or not. Former Marine officer. Very nice place to spend an evening out.
Dugan's Pub, Damien's, Kava Korner, WVCC, Checkerboard, Leggios Dallas, Indian Lake Inn, Main Bean, Cooks. Off the top of my head.
Thank you for asking.
Hot Dog House in Bellefonte. Try the 2 on 1 with everything, that is hot dog , chili sauce, onions, yellow mustard and hamburger w or wo cheese, onions, chili sauces.

My dad brings a “box of pitz” to virtually every function to this day. Tailgates, parties, picnic, you name it. I always end up eating two or three pieces and get wicked heartburn.
Teaberry ice cream. Not really town specific, but I believe rather focused in NE and central PA. The stuff from Heisler’s dairy in a pretzel cone is hard to beat.
That's a short walk from my house! All of their hoagies are terrific, such great bread brought daily from Philly
You're baked that morning or the Senape's?
A CMP at Heisler's and a round of miniature golf. What a date place!
CMP is your favorite ice cream with chocolate sauce, marshmallow, and crushed peanuts with a cherry. Yum Yum.
Forksville Country Store by the covered bridge built in 1850. Great cheese steaks and best breakfast around. The sausage is excellent.

In my hometown of Montoursville, Cellini"s Submarine House. Home to the original cosmo.
I was in the Lehigh Valley yesterday and I drove by Yocco's Hot Dogs. What do the locals think of that place?
BTW, it is incredible in the Lehigh Valley with all the development taking place. It makes Harrisburg and Lancaster look modest by comparison.

Good choice. I used to get a Turkey cosmo from Sal's delivered for 4 bucks in college while at Bloom.
