Pennsylvania Diners and Other Roadside Restaurants (1993x1)

Air date: Dec 07, 1993

In this age when every fast food place seems the same, diners are still distinctive, fun places to stop, often full of local flavor with quirky characters on both sides of the counter. This WQED classic program from 1993 takes a look at some of the most interesting diners in Pennsylvania along with a few other roadside restaurants (like the Midway Plaza on the Pennsylvania Turnpike) that have salty histories and spicy reputations for good, simple, all-American food.
