It must have been about 20 years ago we were in southern PA. We had been
to Gettysburg and were heading up the west side of the river, north from
Harrisburg. We stopped at one of those old time metal sided prefab
diners and I had a hamburger. Wow. It was the best burger I had ever
had. It was not very wide but was quite thick and was cooked to perfection.
