Nothing beats the strawberry foo-foo pancakes at the Allentown breakfast.
I'll have to see if I can make Allentown. Every year I always seem to have something conflicting and keeping me away.
You have to catch Allentown when Chuck is having his "special" breakfast. 
That isn't scrapple is it John? My grandfather told me about that, and him being a farmer, well, that deterred me because he pulled no punches on what it is.
I will be there with my bodygaurd Vinny

Please add two to the list. Thanks

I guess I'll have to learn that one.

May we consider the consumption of Pumpkin Pecan pancakes to be on "Doctor's Orders"? My wife said that's the only way she'll approve of my eating them.
Sure will taste a lot better than fruit and a plain bran muffin!
-Greg
I might have to try those pancakes this year, I've heard about them enough.
Stephie and I should be able to stop by for the early sitting.
Putnam Division posted:I would like to announce the Thursday, October 17th biannual pre-York breakfast.
Place: the Round-the-Clock Diner 222 Arsenal Rd or the north side of Route, just east of I-83.
All are invited......people start arriving at 0730-0800 and we usually stay till about 10-1030.
Come and dine with your fellow York attendees and catch the pre-meet excitement. I really do mean all are welcome. Spouses are most certainly welcome. Traveling alone? In a small group? 1st York? Come and join us. Put a face with a name. Catch up with what's gone on since April. Talk trains. Get new ideas. Make new acquaintances.....that's what this hobby is all about.
I reserve tables. It is pretty informal. Just give me an idea if you coming....there is no time limit on when to respond. It's just a great way to spend the morning before the Meet starts!
This is also a special breakfast......probably the last one on a Thursday......With the return of the 2 day Meet in April, I will be moving this to Fridays....and we won't have time to linger like we do now.....

First York for me Peter. Look forward to breakfast and starting the day with you guys.
Just remember to go in the driveway and not I-83. That was FUN the first time I was there in 2017. Nothing like going the wrong way for breakfast.

That was probably confusing to most everyone their first time - I know it was for me as that's a unique and immediate left-hand turn for the entrance!

It also doesn't help that my coworkers OnStar said we were there before we even reached the place. That and me seeing what I though was a driveway off Arsenal which is on the off ramp.
So first time attendees, turn at the light and then hook the left into the diner otherwise it is straight past or I-83, lol. Either way you will have to turn around and have slow traffic.
I plan on getting up and in early. This way I get a great seat and don't have to worry about like my first year being at the kids table(way in the back, back where the waitresses serve coffee).
I come from I-83 South (I stay in Shrewsbury).....I get off at 30 East and stay in the right and pull into Sheetz and turn around and then cross Rte 30.

One year I got stuck in traffic and arrived about 45 minutes late and was in that spot as well! It gave me an opportunity to meet new folks!

Yep, that's a top choice Joe! I don't recall seeing her at the Round-The-Clock. 
That's the one I remember!

Even if you are old....we can still dream.
I can't find the Round the Clock diner, Please help me! Please, please help.
Here's a Google Maps link: 222 Arsenal Rd, York, PA 17402
Put it into Google Maps on your phone and it'll drive you to the door.
That's gotta be Eddie's version of a joke building on Roger's "old" comment on the previous post. He's been to the breakfast numerous times.

Wow! friends from all over the country, possibly other Countries, this will be the best way to begin our day, with great friends, at “Around the Clock Diner”, for the October 2019 TCA Eastern Division Train Bonanza! It’ll be fun for all, and all for fun. We will be their, Lord willing, your friends from Tennessee and Kentucky, Leapin Larry and Charles Lentz and of course Farmerjohn ( Johnny Dawson and Debbie ).... It’s great to be retired and having time for some good old train fun, meeting friends, and catching up on the latest news about our great hobby, Model Railroading. We wish safe traveling for everyone. See you soon.....Happy Railroading

My wife has me on a diet. Just remember my kitchen pass specifically says "I'm having what Peter is having". Maybe just one w/ no syrup?

Wanda...yes, she said you are cute.
I can taste the over lightly fried eggs & home fries.

For some crazy reason I am mad hungry today even though I had eaten my usual eats at break this morning. It is as if almost there was some driving force saying, "BREAKFAST! TRAINS! BREAKFAST TRAINS!" Maybe my stomach is already at Round The Clock looking at the menu. Hopefully that will stop.
About that waitress, I don't seem to remember that one, but maybe my mind is elsewhere, lol.
Hi Peter, it looks like for the first time my wife and I will be able to attend the breakfast! so we'll see you there!
I will be there, third year at York, but FIRST at this breakfast. .. from Columbus, OH.

I just went through the flights, it will take me 28 hours and 3 stops to get there from Perth to York for just under $2000 bucks flying Virgin/Delta airlines !
I will pass on this year maybe some other time. Roo.

I was just about ready to offer to buy you a beer at Quaker Steak and Lube. It would be great if you could make it sometime.
