It's so weird seeing a place I know that nobody talks about, but at the same time, it's thrilling

[@brendakrieger7000]

Yep! Same here. I grew up in Berks County and visited the Lancaster and Lebanon area very often.

Smörgårdsbord is a Swedish word for buffet! It spread internationally under the 1900's. Directly translated it means "sandwich table". //Greetings from Sweden

[@jrfree88]

Shoo fly pie has a lot of molasses in it. The bacon dressing is a must try when in the area. As are the red beet eggs. Delicacies from central pa! I grew up on that stuff

[@jeffreyrigged]

are the red beet eggs like the pickled eggs in beet juice we have in ky in beet juice or different?

[@jrfree88]

@@jeffreyrigged it’s a mixture of red beets, vinegar and sugar if I remember correctly.

[@loganwright8955]

I did the hvac work at the Cartoon Network hotel. It’s a nice place

[@mialenander5399]

"Smörgåsbord" is swedish. If you translate it exactly it would be "sandwich table" in english. But we - swedes - say "smörgåsbord" about our buffés.

[@FamousFiveAmos]

Never knew this actually existed! Love us some roadside attractions. Keep em coming!

The first transcontinental route opened in 1913.

Welcome to my hood!! You hit up some great “touristy” spots! Pretzels and chips should be on your next PA adventure. Best in the country!

[@flyacow]

Happy to see he eating good food.

[@lorettablakeman3335]

I LOVE going on these road trips with you at the wheel Jacob but I also think it's really cool when you give us a tour of your hotel room at the end of each day! Travel safe Jacob!!

[@abcanimal]

Jacob: I'm diabetic Also Jacob: OH look, shoofly pie!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@allensherrill850]

While you were climbing out of the nut box, that person seemed quite interested in your camera on the ground. No problem there I hope 🤞

[@amiracagoode9718]

Yeah I noticed that as well

[@MHostess999]

Thanks for letting us “hitchhike” and join you on your travels.

[@theogfuzzmom]

I live about 1.5 hrs. from the Lancaster area and used to go more often. Haven't been in Miller's for many years, but I always loved their plain mashed potatoes! Turkey Hill Experience looks fun!

[@SarahNova]

This is my favorite area! Been going their with family since 1976. It has changed SO MUCH. I love their Shoo-fly pie.

[@davidlewis4609]

Always wanted to do the Turkey Hill Experience!Looked like fun!

[@Eighties-Jadie]

I really enjoyed seeing all the food especially the pie with whipped cream, raspberry lemonade and huckleberry sodas and cotton candy ice cream! 😍 I adore ice cream 🍨✨🍦Absolutely loved the shoe house too. Very quirky and unusual 😄 Thanks Jacob and best wishes ☀️

[@marktinkey7433]

I love your trips to Lancaster! I live nearby and Miller's is a favorite. Did you ever look into the Mennonite museum? They used to have wax figures depicting the ark of the covenant I believe....sound right up your alley.

[@mjmj2860]

Thank you Jacob another fun video that cotton candy ice cream looked really yummy. I enjoy watching your vids. I showed you to my son. He now watches you everyday, he loves ya!❤✌👍🇺🇸😍❤👌😊

[@cindylk11]

Looks like a great buffet Jacob. The green stuff around the salad bar is actually kale. I used to work at Carl’s Jr. when I was a teenager, and always had to ice the salad bar, followed by lots of kale to dress it up.

[@HeatherHugs]

I’m from Pennsylvania and I didn’t even know The Shoe House existed!

[@kaitlyn5736]

same!

[@susantaylor3687]

I was going to suggest staying at the Lincoln Motor Court! You're on my favorite drive on Rt 30!

[@southrnsweety88]

Thank you for allowing me to live vicariously through you 💛 😆

[@lacrossed55]

That shoe house bathroom sink looked very concerned!

[@ronaldcarlson8572]

That smorgasboard place looked great!

[@jsjazz12]

I'm from PA. Turkey Hill ice cream is the best along with their drinks.

[@sgstiffler]

I'm glad you took my suggestions and filmed the giant quarter and the coffee pot. I have no idea how I missed this video. I'm glad you stopped to film.

[@dawnbenchley7237]

Enjoying the trip, Jacob. Loved the elephant collection.

[@NotThatChrisJohnson]

We love you, Jacob!

[@chexterr]

I’m so excited to see you in Lancaster!! I go there often and always wanted to try Millers.

[@lindacostello159]

Love the shoe house. I will be visiting there is August. Was great to get a heads up as to what it looked like! Great idea to do the Lincoln Highway! I am enjoying the videos.

[@denisedarnell1641]

My all time favorite ice cream brand is Krogers brand but love Turkey Hill next. It is super creamy compared to other hard ice cream brands. Just love them both. Great video Jacob ..you always show us a huge variety of roadside attractions and important places ! I have yet to go to Gettysburg as a huge history buff, its on my bucket list of course

[@jcg336]

You don’t like iced tea? You’re proving your carpetbagger roots 😆!

[@zanetaylor5418]

It is cool to see the shoe house. I love building shaped like stuff. My neighbor's house is shaped like a boat. Also in the nearby town of Danville,IL there is a bowling ally called Lincoln Lanes. The ally is named after Abe Lincoln because he often visited and practiced law in Danville.

[@PotentDaRockStar]

I used to live about 15 minutes from there, the shoe house always made turn my head and stare. 🤷🏽‍♂️💯😂

[@YoureMyCherryOnTop143]

I went to the shoe house, it was fun! Plus the ice cream is really good 👍🏼

[@omizj6951]

I hope Jen is coming with you, I know you can do it, but that is a long drive and a long time for you to be by yourself. I definitely will do my part to help you along the way because I love your videos. Safe travels Carpetbagger 👍

[@joshlightcap8573]

glad to see you go through my hometown of Columbia Pennsylvania..I.. fun fact about the turkey hill experience... back in the 70 to mid 90s the experience building used to be a sewing factory.

[@eddiehughes5947]

Am from Philadelphia Pennsylvania and never knew that turkey hill experience excted but I do love me some turkey hill ice tea

[@Sparty-pi3jq]

Jacob a huckleberry is real and it grows at higher elevations in the western US. I grew up in Montana and I loved going up into the mountains and collecting huckleberries. Great video as always!

[@WalterJoergLangbein]

Blueberries and huckleberries can be nearly identical in appearance, both ranging in color from red to purple to blue and even black. The taste of the two berries is also very similar, however, huckleberries tend to be more tart.

[@kathywilliams9615]

This was fun…Thank You so much…always a good time “traveling” with you..

[@prussiaaero1802]

at 28:41 "that was not a twist-off" (while showing the twist off bottle neck) DOH!!!!! I enjoyed watching this episode. Thumbs up.

[@robertvirtue8070]

Can remember riding on the old Rt 30 and looking for the Shoe House as a kid back in the 50s. Also on Friday evening a Turkey Hill Driver would come to our house selling Ice cream. Half gallons and other already made forms. You drove through the First day of the battle at Gettysburg when leaving town going west.

[@garylarue3899]

Always make a stop at the Lincoln Diner while in Gburg for breakfast. Great place.

[@CmonDudes]

When I saw you get to the turkey hill museum I paused the screen and went and got some out of my freezer. Great video! Great 🍦 ice cream!

[@debs5157]

Hi from Deb & Al! We are just loving the Lincoln Highway trip!

[@tacob69]

So funny some guy was clueless and walked up to your camera during the photo op.HaHa

[@kristaseyler654]

They have the best iced tea too turkey hill that is omg it's my fave lol 😆

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

Loved the Elephant Museum. Enjoyed the whole video. Safe travels Jacob.

[@robwahl6288]

I was not sure in 2020 buffets would come back. Need to always try new foods! Tastes of life.

[@gungasc]

Never knew this place existed! GOnna stop by with the wife and kids this summer.

[@juanzapata492]

A treat to eat and see

[@bg199083]

Dutch Haven!! They have the BEST Shoo-fly pies on the PLANET! They are sooo good! Went there soo many times when we’re staying in Lancaster. Miller’s smorgasbord is a great place for their buffet, but I love Shady Maple a lot better in my opinion. I’ve been to the shoe house and to the Turkey Hill Experience years ago. It’s about 2 hours from my house. Want some Shoo-fly pie now.

[@kellyhenderson9972]

My dad really likes the treacle pies. I’m of a German heritage , but I find that one a bit sweet. I’m a Schwarzwald Torte fan.

When you go through Iowa. You might consider taking a side trip to West Bend to see the Grotto of the Redemption. Well worth the extra drive.

[@gryl7471]

I LOVED THE ELEPHANT MUSEUM!!!!

I have lived on Lincoln Highway twice in my life. One in Bucyrus, Ohio and New Haven, Indiana

[@reese9030]

Great road trip. Looking forward to our next stop.

[@orionwarren4244]

You're kind of a different cat but your travel blogs beat all of the others 'typical' topics, ie, Route 66, Disneyland, World, etc. You've done those but these are so much more interesting!

[@punchfisttop]

My dad and I made our own picked eggs just like those! YUM!

[@lissachocolate]

Enjoyable video, so much to see. That shoe house was bigger inside than it looks, and nice too. I like the windshield view snippets of video, I feel like I’m along for the trip.

[@Mini_Truckers_Lifestyle]

My grandma make those eggs at home and we let them soak for weeks so it really soaks up the flavor they’re definitely one of my favorites

[@CapnKentsStuff]

Hot bacon dressing is a very Pennsylvania Dutch dish. I grew up having this at wedding receptions and I grew up near Allentown.

[@christophermichael.w.7577]

I used to live right off of rt.30 near the Maryland-P.A.line.The closest neighbor was a Bison farm☺

Great journey so far! Just wait until you get further west i.e. California if you want to faint at gas prices! Enjoy your journey.

[@robylove9190]

Awesome video. Thanks Jacob!

[@derrickkauffman8926]

Being a local, and watching this....diet. there is more to the area than food.

[@AdolfLuvr]

I think the "elephant lightsaber" is actually an early version of the Elefun the Elephant toy. It's a fan that blows toy butterflies around and you're supposed to catch them in a toy bug net. I could be wrong but that's what it looks like to me. I remember seeing the commercials for it as a kid on TV.

[@marybmccormick]

Huckleberry are blueberries . awesome time today loved the turkey hill ice cream shop my favorite 🍨🍦🍨 ice cream your meals were yummy love the shoe 👠👟👠 house lots to see here enjoyed it all see you tomorrow have a wonderful blessed night 🌉🌉🌉

Hey Jacob you were in my neck of the woods today been to all of those places.

[@adimple79]

Oh my gosh, I'm so excited you're traveling the Lincoln Highway! A lot of people don't even know about it. Please tell me you're staying at the Lincoln Motor Court when you get close to Bedford! I've stayed there a couple of times, and it's still set up and decorated the way it would have been decades ago. I would love to see your reaction to it! Much love! :)

[@mikew12261]

My daughter and I are taking a road trip on the Lincoln Highway this coming week, and depending on our schedule, we may stay there!

[@anniefinch6843]

This reminds me of the mother goose rhyme the old woman who lived in a shoe.

[@jsjazz12]

PA is a great state. You should spend more time here. The PA Grand Canyon in Wellsboro is beautiful. The town Wellsboro has an old finer ad gas lights on the street. We have the Little League Museum.

[@Sampler19]

I like sampling areas! Nice video.

[@lindseycockerham8308]

You lost me at "I don't drink coffee and I don't like tea". Coffee and sweet tea (in from the south) keeps me out of jail 😄

[@Infindox]

Oh wow didn't notice you were doing the Lincoln highway, really excited for this one having traveled a bit of it (also living right next to it for a time helped lol) Shoo fly pie is so good but so sweet! Can't eat too much lol Also good to see my hometown (Chambersburg) and the forest near Mr. Ed's still doing good. Sad that that bowling center closed though 😔

No apple in 'shoo-fly pie'. Molasses, brown sugar and eggs with a cobbler type crumble.

[@artandmorewithrachelnicole]

Keep up the awesome videos 💖

[@christophermichael.w.7577]

I have not had shoe fly pie since I was a kid. My father has always liked to buy baked goods from the Amish.

[@zerxilk8169]

Great Video. This was great!

[@proconsumersafety]

Thats great you go to visit Intercourse. Especially Shoo Fly pie. I think it's great. I have been to Miller's and it's a great stop as well. Yes, huckleberries are real berries. Similar to blueberries, but I think a different kind of stronger flavor that makes is different form blueberry. Just my thoughts. I am not an expert with those. I love all the ice cream shops along the way. Thank you for sharing. I love the roadside sculptures as well, that I have not yet seem. Enjoy and keep safe!
