Foodie Finders NYC: Hershey, PA pitt-stop coming home from Pittsburgh

Welcome back foodies! When I was coming home, yesterday, from Pittsburgh the Foodie Finders NYC crew and I stopped off in Hershey, PA for a lunch break at the Hershey Pantry. I have been to the Hershey Pantry for breakfast but never have I been there for lunch. It was a delicious meal. Here is my review.

Hershey Pantry                             801 E Chocolate Avenue, Hershey, PA 17033

One visit to the Hershey Pantry and you will be hooked for life. Everything you order is delicious. We got to amazing sandwiches which were the Pantry Reuben Corn Beef and the Grilled Ham & American Cheese. The Pantry Reuben Corn Beef had the best sauce and the sandwich also had sauerkraut an swiss cheese which was yummy.  The Grilled Ham & American Cheese was also really good. It was delicious ham with a mild and gooey cheese sandwiched between two pretzel rolls which are dynamite. If have never had a Hershey Pantry pretzel roll, you have never lived. Also the burger is really good but if you switch the buns to pretzel rolls it is even better. The Hershey Pantry also has delicious muffins. Normally they fill their muffins with a cream cheese filling that is really good. If you don't like cream cheese sometimes they have muffins that are too warm to fill yet. We got a few with cream cheese and a few without. The best flavors, I think, were cherry, blueberry and candy cane. If you are ever in Hershey you got to go to the Hershey Pantry if it is for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Whichever meal you have you won't be sorry.

Also besides the review of Hershey Pantry I never did the weeks list of events, so here it is.
