Chalet In the Valley

We recently had lunch at a restaurant in Millersburg, Ohio named Chalet in the Valley. It offers Swiss Austrian cuisine which is very similar to German cuisine. The plate above has bratwurst, steak wurst, sauerkraut, noodles, Swedish meatballs,spatzel, mashed potatoes, and a pretzel bread stick. It was very delicious and I could recommend it to anyone that near Amish Country (its about the only place open on Sunday).

Trail Bologna

Many people call horse manure found on the side of the road in Amish Country "Trail Bologna". Trail Bologna also has another meaning, its a meat product that tastes like smoked bologna but is in the familiar shape of kielbasa or bratwurst. Either way, here is a photo of trail bologna in the edible fashion.

Beef Lo Mein

My wife loves to eat at the Peking Chinese Restaurant in Danville, WV. She calls it "Boone County Chinese". It is actually very good if your ever in the area.

The Burger Carte's Al Burger

The Burger Carte restaurant on Rt. 60 in Smithers, WV has been an area landmark for many decades. We recently visited the Burger Carte to take on their version of the famous Al Burger. Priced at $6.50 each, this three meat sandwich was top notch. It was great to taste this timeless local classic once again. Kudo's to Doug and Debbie Divita for keeping the Burger Carte experience alive.

Mother Mary

This old statue of Mother Mary was in an old cemetery in Logan County, WV.

Don't Forget

I'm not sure what problem was at this cemetery that led to this sign being posted at the gate. This photo was taken in Lake, WV (Logan County).
