Good 'N Plenty Restaurant (Continued from Page 40)
A personal favorite of mine, often served at Good ‘N Plenty, is ham loaf. Combining the best of what ham has to offer and the comfort food staple of meatloaf, the PA Dutch ham loaf is admittedly not everyone’s cup of tea. While I reach for seconds, the person to my right might scowl, while the person to my left asks the server to bring another platter to replace the one I just emptied! There’s also likely to be cottage cheese with apple butter, which is a delicacy in my book and one of the most typical PA Dutch ways to enjoy the dairy treat. For those who are cottage cheese intolerant, just spread the apple butter on some of Good ‘N Plenty’s warmed homemade bread, and you’ll be enjoying yet another local cultural favorite. Family-style dining at Good ‘N Plenty not only means you sample various foods, in quantities as big or as small as you like, but you also get to interact as much as you want with not only your party, but with guests from around the world. Good ‘N Plenty’s family-style menu is served by seating diners at long farmhouse tables (a suitable setting since Good ‘N Plenty itself is a converted farmhouse dating back to the 1800s.) I’ve been able to meet really interesting people, hearing traveler stories ranging from a quick day trip to a 21-day East Coast discovery tour that a couple was making to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary.

717.929.0821 • 3610 Old Philadelphia Pike, Intercourse, PA interruption, Good ‘N Plenty does offer private menu dining. The Harvest Platter option in this case is what I’d recommend. Many of the locally authentic PA Dutch foods are offered in a build-your-own-plated-meal option, which is better suited to small appetites. Traditional American fare of soups, salads,
and sandwiches are all made to order for those just not brave enough to go for my favorite PA Dutch dishes like pork and sauerkraut, schnitz und knepp, ham loaf, or chow chow. While I don’t normally include pricing, policies, or purses in my dining reviews, Continued on Page 43
