Thank you for pronouncing Lancaster correctly. Everyone in the country outside PA- this is how you say Lancaster.

[@doobygelman5454]

My husband ordered a manual recliner on line from an Amish furniture company … he is 350 lbs and flings himself down into that chair…six years and its holding up beautifully…amazing craftsman, highly recommend

[@CapitalSharkAttack]

Yes we'd love to see you explore your hometown! Your Pennsylvania videos always have something a little extra special about them, I can't quite put into words.

[@Mrowl111]

Try!

[@janethompson2305]

Hello Mr Narrator, U did an awesome job making this video & I thoroughly love Ur little tide bits of info/opinions that makes it all U 😊. Love Ur back road travels U added here & Ur spot on.!! HA 😅 it's all surreal. My husband & I have been to Shady 🍁 Smorgasbord several times & I can tell U that pics or videos don't do justice. It's so overwhelming delish.!! Unbelievable food choices AND YA GOTTA WALK OFF UR MEAL AFTERWARDS BCUZ YA CANT STOP EATING 😂❤ My favorite is the Brisket fer sure w/asparagus, lima beans in red sauce, creamed carrots, chicken pot pie & 1 roll w/fresh butter. My husband's favorite is fer sure the prime Rib & his choice of sides. No desert for me plz, don't like sugar but hubby enjoys dessert. Time for us to go there again HA 😅😂❤

[@jonathanfrancesco3305]

This entire complex is just a slice of heaven.

[@lilystonne4108]

In January 2023, we went to Spooky Nook Sports Complex where we attended the Lancaster Archery Tournament for 3 days. We especially wanted to eat at Shady Maple Smorgasbord because a youTuber restaurant reviewer drove 8 hours from NYC just to record his eating experience there. I was so I impressed that I made a point of looking it up and pay SMS a visit. We also drove 8 hours from Toronto, Canada for the experience. I was not disappointed. We are looking forward to returning for another wonderful meal in January 2024. Thank you for bringing back fond memories.

[@sherrystrawn7628]

I love when you're just out and about with your family, Nate. It's good to see them. Hopefully they can come down and visit you soon. ❤

[@edwardohearn6050]

Hope to run into you at Knoebels!

[@sandydisneyfan8355]

Going to Shady Maple, visiting their huge giftshop, and going nextdoor to Good's store were always must-do 's for us when we visited Lancaster. Is Ariele your sister's daughter? She's so cute and a lucky little girl to be a part of such a loving family.

[@markscheurich2196]

I’m 45 minutes from Shady Maple and have never left disappointed or hungry! Great to go on your birthday as well. Used to be Dutch Wonderland pass holders for years and have seen the place in decline in recent years. Would love your take on the new Hershey Park roller coaster! Welcome home Mr Morrow, hope your visit with family is a great one!

[@janethompson2305]

Dutch Wonderland (on Lincoln Hwy in Lancaster PA) was bought by Hershey. We were standing inside the store/office there when the ppl who managed the place, which includes Old Millstream Campground, got the pho call from the original owner saying that Hershey inquired about buying it. We camped there for 7yrs everytime we went to PA, but not since Hershey owns it. It was always a fun place to stay at & have camp fires & has very clean & very nice bathrooms w/showers.!! There's a corn field on the side where the tents are. There's tent sites in other areas there also. HA, the Amish dairy farmer's cows 🐄 sometimes stand in the stream 😄 😂 on hot, hot days just looking around towards the campers. Ya gotta love it 😅

[@jessicaseipp859]

@@janethompson2305Hershey actually doesn’t own Dutch Wonderland anymore either! They sold it to Palace Entertainment in 2010 and that’s who still owns it

[@Linette68]

Thanks for this video. I'm from PA, but have moved. It really brought back memories. I took my kids there when they were little and we just ate ourselves silly. The whole Lancaster, PA is like going back in time. The Amish really know how to cook!! We visited Hershey and Dutch Wonderland all in the same day. It was great. Yes, please do more videos about your hometown. Really great to see!!

[@michaelfierro7908]

As a California native, your vlogs remind me so much of Huell Howser's California Gold. It was an old PBS show that aired decades ago. He was such an institution the Simpsons had him in an episode. Your vlogs show the same appreciation and joy to the little things that most people miss. Many thanks!

[@Igotsomethingtosay5227]

Love seeing mom and Bonbon! Glad you got to visit and take us along with you! Tell them thank you for participating! But, we’re dying to know……who’s precious Ariel? Lol.

[@stephaniek8587]

I lived in Lititz and I second this suggestion. Lititz is an amazing little town, in fact it was named the coolest small town in America in 2013 ❤️

I LOVE their Kielbasa. But the food is all so good. Great breads and soup too.

Just know they have another food set up further back incase it is too crowded. And they have areas they cook steak and fish on the side. Go with an empty stomach

[@annettenavarro8787]

What a wonderful surprise to see you with your family. Yes! Please share your hometown foods etc. How Fun! Hello to your mom & Bonnie❤️

[@alexanderdentiii5]

You had me smiling the whole time. I felt like I was in the backseat and going to out for the day with some old friends.

[@Natashas-life]

Lmao the Amish do take pride in their gardening and farming skills. That was a huge carrot!! 😮 I have to agree. This is a cool video, you make it fun to watch

[@anitapolanco8961]

I'm glad to see you back in PA with the family. I hope you have a great time and it's wonderful to see your mom and Bonnie again.

[@pennylane1084]

Hi Nate! Would love to see a vlog about your favorite home town food places. Love to see your mom and Bonnie! Your mom is the cutest lady, she seems like a sweetheart.

[@aquilinaciamacco2410]

Thank You for taking the time to create and share this wonderful video with us all! Here in Palm Springs the closet thing we have to a buffet is at the Casino 50 miles away! You are all very lucky!!!

[@LaurelLeeLRGP]

I first went to a smorgasbord in Highspire, outside Harrisburg, in 1965. I was 11 and had only been in a few restaurants at that point. I was dumbfounded by the amount of food available because my own parents were very frugal. I still love buffets, and if I ever return to Pennsylvania, Shady Maple will be on my list of places to visit.

[@mellisaadler6588]

I used to live in Blue Ball PA where Shady Maple is located. I worked at the Getty Mart convenience store and people would stop there all the time for directions to Shady Maple. I miss whoopie pies, Achenbachs long johns with peanut butter frosting, Tasti cakes, wet bottom sho fly pie and all the wonderful farm stands. The town of Blue Ball was named after the Blue Ball hotel that is no longer standing. Centuries ago when most people were illiterate they hung a large blue ball outside of the hotel to identify it as the hotel and the town grew up around it. It was great to see your mom and sister and niece (?) Maybe you could go on a factory tour of Hanover pretzel company while you're there. Thank you for the video, I like seeing my old stomping grounds.

[@susan7204]

Whatever you upload, I'll watch! 😸

[@josephbritt6890]

Getting hungry cool show

[@thedogzoo]

This is the nicest smorgasbord I've ever seen. Thank you for the tours. I really enjoyed them. ❤

[@NickFaulkner]

Going for breakfast is the best option!

[@gamberlane]

I love it when you visit Lancaster! That is where I grew up and it always makes me nostalgic to see the videos. There was an Amish farm stand on Route 30, East of the outlets that had the BEST peanut butter cookies. I am not usually one to even like peanut butter cookies, but these were so soft and delicious. Amish baked goods are the best. So delicious, and so much more affordable than the city bakeries!

[@gilromero1340]

Mr. Morrow & Family, I would love to see Night Lites festival at Pocono Raceway this coming September!

Props to you for being able to pronounce Lancaster properly. You can always tell who’s a tourist when they pronounce it Lan-CAS-ter instead of the proper LANC-aster. Lived there throughout my childhood, now live outside Philly. Family still lives there though.

[@sheram5949]

I'm two hours away from Lancaster and I am Pa. Dutch, so I grew up eating some of these dishes. I have been to Shady Maple, but it's been many years. I always loved the food there. There is a difference between filling and stuffing. Filling is made on the side and stuffing is put into a bird. Bacon dressing is really good. When I was small, we would pick dandelion when it first came up and my mom would make bacon dressing to put on it. To me potpie and dumplings are the same. I used to make liver and onions with bacon fat. Root beer is made from the sassafras bark from the tree. Baklava is not Pa. Dutch I think it's Greek or Hungarian. Amish buggies have to have lights on them, because they are on the roads at night. If you want to see a really nice farmers market, go the Green Dragon. It's only open on Fridays, but well worth the visit. You can buy the big carrots there. It's in Ephrata which is in the area near Lancaster. Thanks for the great blog.

[@janethompson2305]

Ur absolutely right.!! ALSO, DO NOT FORGET TO GET URSELF SOME AMISH STUFFED PRETZELS.!! OMGOSH THEY R TO DIE FOR HANDS DOWN.!!

But…I’m sort of worried for your health. Please take care of yourself. Lots of people love you and want you around for a long time.
