You just can't go wrong with this place. Just attended a multi-course with wine pairing. It was a good value with them charging a typical pre fixe price, but including the pairing. Other places can add much more for the pairing. I have been a dozen times, and always enjoy it. If you are there for lunch, or are brave enough to order off the menu, try the mac and cheese (truffles).

Chicago's Chinatown. VERY traditional. If you are tired of americanized Chinese food then give this a try.

Amish Food, comfort food, and B&Bs in PA
This place was great. It is the real deal. Buffet or a la carte. Try some of the smoked meats. Make sure it is open. Closed during winter.

Two B&Bs in Lititz:
www.aldenhouse.com
www.speedwellforge.com (this one is next door to a wolf preserve with tours on weekends).
This is further away from the heart of Amish country (an hour away!), but resembles Cracker Barrel on steroids. Lots of big buses, but food and service are great if you feel like having comfort food. There is even a Best Western named after it. Strictly if you are in the mood.
