@@argonwheatbelly637 lol, It hurt me too.

@@argonwheatbelly637 everyone outside pa says "lan caster" . Everyone in pa says "lank uh stir" . At least in central pa , that's how we say it.

I’m in Lancaster as well! Also the guy who founded Annie Ann’s was a crappy tipper and pretty rude. I would deliver them pizza back in the day. I’m talkin .50cents on a 80$ order if I was lucky lol

@@argonwheatbelly637 Shit on a shingle, for me...

Used to use this trick in college; classes were timed for me in such a way to where I could go, pay one price for breakfast. I would get a plate, and as long as I stayed in the dining area, I could have another lunch plate later.

Buffet 101 go when they are busy so you get fresh food but sheep are scared of the flu

That only works if you can eat a lot.

Go right before they close sometimes they give you some leftovers

@@yongwoo1020 I'm thinking Mike has a spare tank hidden somewhere. He can sure pack it away

It’s all in the genes my friend lol. You see professional soccer players give out during a game because of a heart attack.

@@CaliD0LL I'd have a heart attack too if I made my living flopping like I was shot.

Breakfast was big, dinner was bigger and supper was a light meal. Dairy farm days were sunup to sundown. Some time after dark if work needed to be done before rain or other events. Great life. Wouldn't change a thing.

@@georgebarnessr5472 My Grandpa's family had a few cows they'd milk in the morning. They only had 80 acres, so my Dad growing up raised bulls, they had chickens and geese as well. I lived on that farm as a little guy. I think at 5 was when the farm got sold. I can remember a lot of it. I wouldnt change a thing either, friend.

Hard physical WORK

🤣

Normal people on a diet: I'll get the salad with no croutons please. Mike on a diet: I'm only going to eat enough baked goods for a family of 6. No ice cream.

Lmaooooo

Who eats pie from the pie plate? 🤔

ok but who asked?

What's that pecan thinggy

As someone who lives on the other side of the state, I'm just super happy to see somewhere other than Philly get some recognition.

I live in the area too. For restaurant inspections, they used to be written up alot. Dieners buy far is the best. Yoders has really great food. I stopped eating at Shady Maple about a decade ago. Yoders. food tastes about the same as SM. and. not too far from them if still open

@@donnalawrence9054 See I prefer Shady Maple to Yoders. I wish I could remember the name of the big PA Dutch diner I used to go to in the 90's. The food was awesome.

I love that twist too.

That's because a lot of the Amish were Swiss German so their traditions and language were not strictly Germany the way we think. Germany as we know it didn't exist when many PA dutch/ Amish came over

He's Asian American

@@batkat0 that’s not entirely true, amish mostly come from Germany, Austria and small parts of Switzerland while Mennonites came from Northern Germany and small parts of the Netherlands.

Absolutely! No one works as hard as a PA farmer, especially putting up hay! Mike should do a pierogi tour of Pittsburgh!!

Yessss thank you!!!!

I love living in PA and passing all of our farms, I don't live far from Lancaster and I love all the delicious food 😋

and then you are eating fly poo pie.

Love this factoid!!!!

@@bkbk4003 😂

Thank you. M y grandmother used to make something similar and I couldn't renember what it was called. I kinda like the name Mike gave it!

@@abbyiswatching2046 It is also called molasses crumb cake/pie. I grew up eating it -- my mom is from near Lancaster County. She's not Amish, but she grew up with it, too.

things that never happened, it unhappened the things that happened

@@aritrosan7698 ?

@@venom5809 then how do they make those heaters you don't have to plug in?!? Are the amish now wizards??

@@venom5809 i so agree

He missed out on the frosted raisin bread!

That is a really good idea

Did they cater?

The layout looks like a movie theater

@@LetMeTellYouSomething144 it's gigantic, like a warehouse or airplane hanger

There was another place similar to this in Lancaster' we used to go to for our family reunions

he's like a leisurely matt stonie

As a PA transplant I second that.

Yes I've eaten here several times! PA native too! Love it!

Shady maple?

How much is the food.

@@supremeetnel7707 varies breakfast lunch and dinner with some nights having speciasl and being a few dollars more. Figure $20-$25 for the dinner menus and cheaper for breakfast and lunch.

Mikey learned all the tricks of the trade back in College, since you had very little food money and a bottomless appetite. lol

Hashtag FACTS

@@UltimateGamerCC same here I lived off of the cheapest ramen noodles I could find and cold pizza and loved when relative's came to visit and gave me leftovers

Mike is to buffet plates as Oshiya are to Japanese subway cars.

Guys guys, it's because he's Asian. Asians use everything to its worth. So when it comes to buffets, you must expect there to be heaping plates.

Please come. You will NOT be disappointed

Same!

Im in ohio we have tons of amish places haha.

@@whitneysanders6996 same I live in Ohio as well plenty of amish places here, I'm more north towards cleveland

I enjoy Der Dutchman in Belleville.

The "chicken & dumblings" we call chicken pot pie. :-) I think they call it that there strictly for the tourist. So they don't feel mislead. Shoofly Pie.. it's molasses based. -Native Lancaster Countian

We ate at Deinners Diner twice on a recent trip to Lancaster. Loved it!!!

Thanks for the info, I have to check it out, are they also a shmorgasboard too or a regular restaurant?

They are a buffet. A small scale smorgasbord. Worth the time and the money.

I’ve been to both. They are both good. Shady Maple has more variety and is bigger. But Dienner’s is more small scale and locals. You know your getting good true Amish food. They both have their benefits. Usually hit both up on a trip.

Agreed. Shady maple is where the tourists go. Dienners is where the locals go. Always eat where the locals do.

We call it the pipe.

💀

lmao me to

Was it worth the drive? I live in northern Virginia and wonder if I should eat here

@@vladokingsley297 I think it is. Between the buffet, gift shop and giant market across from it you have so many many tasty things to try. If you're like me and get full fast stick to the more expensive foods like the steaks to get your money's worth. The chocolate milk on tap is amazing. I'm hoping to go back and try their breakfast.

Or on the roast beef.

The Dutchie way to eat, is Stewed Tomatoes on Mac-n-Cheese. In south central PA, if you get mac-n-cheese you will always be offered stewed tomatoes on it.

Shady Maple is the best. Yummmmmmm

That’s what I thought too

And Mac and cheese soo good

In Lancaster County we just call it Chicken pot pie.

Don't forget the cream chipped beef...I mean shit on a shigle!

This is sooo cool!!

Bottboi (pot pie) un melassisch riwwelkuche (shoofly pie, or literally molasses streusel cake) in our language, PA Deitsch.

Chicken Pot Pie is not soup!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

But it somehow sounds really appetizing.

Omg, Shady Maple is amazing but it is just one of several local Amish style buffets. Definitely on the blander side but still warm and filling and delicious.

@@Kallynthehuntress lol u lost me at bland

@@prgsim been to Shady maples once over a decade ago. Area might be bland but the food isn’t.

id's are 🤫reysist 🤫

@@batchagaloopytv5816??????

Yes I use to go every year until I moved to GA. :(

Just went

@@DBRAVOGROnice! how was it? what was your favorite food?

Breakfast

I prefer the cakey type! They are so good!

No, it’s made from shoes and flys. 🪰

Amish cheese shops are the best!

Wow i gotta say all these amish workers are well-endowed.

Shady Maple is disgusting. I've lived here for 40+ years and this video is a lie. A complete puff piece made to Garner interest in his channel. This food is literally disgusting. Even the video couldn't make it look appetizing if you ever cooked a decent meal in your life

1st time I ever heard of chicken & noodles over mashed potatoes was in Iowa. My sister who used to live in Iowa still make it ever year for special occasions. When I lived in Kansas Chicken & Noodles over mashed potatoes was staple for School lunches.

Not from the ones I have had.

@@gulfportflamefighter4545 Well then you're missing out, I guess. My grandmother grew up with Amish neighbors and learned to cook from those ladies. Homemade chicken and noodles, mashed potatoes and fried chicken all were on the table for every special occasion. The Amish restaurants in the Amish communities in Indiana where we lived always served this too. It's a very traditional Amish meal.

12:37 < shoo-fly pie

It was originally made as a fly trap. The women would make them and sit in their windows to attract the flies to keep them away from themselves and the other foods. The flies would land on the shoo fly pie and get stuck. The end. That's where the name comes from - "Shoo... fly."

It’s the see food diet

Lucky you

It actually should be called Pennsylvania dutch style cooking. Pennsylvania dutch should not just include the amish but menoites, lutherans, moravanites and other individuals who immigrated from eruope in the 1600's in and around Germany who immigrated for freedom of religion.

@@sarablyler7689 lol emigtated from England, do some research., i live right next to the home of the pilgrim fathers in the towns of Retford and Gainsborough in England the pilgrims left England for Holland initially in 1604 to seek safety from religous persecution, they then salied in 1620 from Plymouth Englad to the America's to establish a colony where they could live and practice puritan religion freely, there is historical information everywhere around where i live about the pilgrims, not sayimg there wasn't other european religous communities involved there were but the english pilgrims started it all and to this day the english pilgrims are at the heart of the religous history of America.

@@SE-tc3cr they didn't say they founded the US, just that they too moved there for religious freedom. Many ppl from all over Europe have mass migrated to America over the years; pennsylvania and other areas happen to have heavy influences from the Dutch, Germans & others of that region.

@@SE-tc3cr do your research on the pennsylvania dutch and why pennsylvania was founded. It was not all english and I wasnt referring to who founded the first colony or which state started the religious freedom. I was talking only about the communities of the Pennsylvania dutch. Pennsylvania did contain quakers who were mostly from england and also those called the PA dutch. Also Indiana is not an originally colony. Alot of the amish who now live in places like kentucky, indiana and other states can trace there ancestry to Pennsylvania.

Shady Maple is the BEST!

Can you really call yourself a south central PA resident if you haven't gone to Shady Maple for your birthday at least once? Like come on. - a York county resident.

@@CaliforniaPearls77 I like Good n plenty more but shady maples is good too.

uh ....... no

@@GenX...MCMLXV I'm thinking cornbread right? Collard greens

Thank you for calling that out. I came to the comment section to say the same thing. I live about an hour south of Lancaster and we call it slippery pot pie to distinguish it from to version with the crust. I absolutely love it!

Yes i have family friends who live in Downingtown but we went to Lancaster the place and people are great and shoofly pie is one in a million

Realistically it would be more like "beloved KZfaqr found living off the grid, after getting lost deep in Amish farmlands." Which reminds me of a great day when I was a young teen. My family vacationed at a Resort in Amish Country every year. Dad was an avid golfer & they had 2 courses, amazing food, nightly shows etc. But we always would go exploring & so we went for a ride into Amish farmland. I never knew & I don't think most realize how once you get off the tourist area, it becomes rural. It was stunning, rolling hillsides and pastures. Then Mom noticed there were no longer street signs, and all you could see was similar looking Amish farms. We didn't get too worried at first, until it was getting near sunset & we had no clue how to get back out. Eventually we finally spotted an Amish man walking back to his house. Dad quickly jumped out of the car, and let me tell you, he did NOT look happy or like he wanted any part of this. Thankfully my Dad could get along with anyone, and next thing you know this guy is slapping my Dad on the back, waving his arms (giving directions) and he says to wait. He went in to get his family, along with TONS of fresh produce that he gave to us and wouldn't take a dime from my Dad!! So Mom & I got out of the car, there were introductions all around. Can still see their little girl looking at my Mom's makeup and quaffed hairdo (ok it was the 70;s lol) like she was an alien. We all had a lovely visit. They wanted us to stay for dinner, but we were now rapidly losing the sun, and all felt it best we head out, as there was no streetlights and as mentioned signs. To this day I wish we stayed for dinner! And the produce included the best corn I had in my life! Don't know if anyone is still reading, but dang, I just went full blown memory lane....what a great memory I hadn't thought of in years!

@@ellenw391 you wouldn't happen to remember the name of the resort? It wouldn't happen to be the Host Farms, would it? I'm from Lancaster County and I had a number of family members who worked at the resort and I spent many a summer day hanging out there.

I wi be here tomorrow. We'll, I hope I see your house. In case I habe a food coma and need somewhere to crash.

I know this is a year later after your comment, but I want to let you know that these people that own the buffets are owned by Mennonite people. They are not Amish. They live in Pennsylvania too. Amish cook basic food . Chicken , ham , potatoes , vegetable. Believe me they don't own restaurant's.

PROPER scran!🤤 NO processed rubbish.

It’s rlly great living in those areas bc the farmers market is 100% amazing bc they all go and sell foods
