Food - Hershey, PA

In our Memorial Day 2010 trip we found some great eats. Fire Alley is a local restaurant that rated high for us. My wife had Prime Rib that was awesome and did not break your dining budget. If you like good food at a reasonable price Fire Alley is your place. This will be a repeat visit for us on our next trip here. In our Bluegreen Resort there was a local pizza place that delivered, I will add the name once I remember it. They advertised that they had the best Stromboli. I agree that is was very good. I am not sure I have ever had Stromboli prior to this trip so I have no point of reference except to say yum!

Aberdeen Barn

If you find yourself hungry for a good Prime Rib in Charlottesville, VA, I would recommend Aberdeen Barn. They have been around for a long time and serve it up in style. Go hungry cause the portions are large. I had perhaps the best prime rib I ever had when I was there on July 5, 2008. It is located on the north side of bypass 250 at the 29 exit.

Jean Farris Winery & Bistro

Stopped at Jean Farris Winery & Bistro on the way home from our weekend trip, July 6, 2008. They have a wonderful lineup of wines. The reds have some character to them that you would not expect from this part of the country. The last time I visited I really liked the Syrah. They were out of it this time, I wonder why :-). The Cabernet Sauvignon was tasting especially good this time. They also had several whites and a rose that were tasting good.

We also stayed for dinner in the Bistro. We liked the food. Menu is not large but everything we tried was excellent. A true diamond, in what seems like, in the middle of nowhere. Hope they can stay in business. We will be back.
