That yellow "turkey" gravy is pretty standard around Lancaster County.
I'm not sure it doesn't come out of a can or jar that color.

Go ahead, name the name. Most of the diners in that area that I am
familiar with are old family run businesses and not part of any
franchise deal. There are a lot of diners in the area, and I have
tried or at least know a lot of them. It wasn't "Zinn's" was it?
I thought they closed down.
