Tired?
Hungry?
Need fuel?

I am proud of the members of my family who are or have been professional truck drivers (three of whom are actually in the picture to the left!).  It is my experience that truck drivers hold the key to the best places to eat & sleep, know where to find the best fuel prices and see the most amazing things along their travels that you might want to check out on a road trip of your own!  I'll be tapping these experts to bring you this information and other important tips of the road!

I'm ashamed to say the summer got away with me - between work and family, things have been moving and shaking! You can see the family stuff blogged over on the 'Musings of Max' page but this blog is going to be about some of the wonderful places where I have enjoyed meals this summer.  If you get a chance, please visit their websites or enjoy them in person!

Breakfast at Blue Colony Diner in Newtown, CT.

Lara was super happy that she could order a salad with her breakfast (she loves her salad).  I loved their coffee and brought some home for my honey!
We had a good dinner at Joe's American Grill which is onsite at the Northshore Mall in Peabody, MA. 

The dessert was very rich and delicious and Lara had coffee with espresso! (I had the tea).
We enjoyed delicious Thai food at Sawasdee in Danvers, MA
We stayed at the Double Tree in Danvers, MA and had some lovely  meals in the hotel restaurant - Tradewinds.  Breakfast was exceptionally good (think: waffle bar!!!).
This past Saturday, my honey and I decided to have diner (really, it was a buffet) at the restaurant in the Dutchway Supermarket in Myerstown, PA.

Miss Worcester Diner

Ok - so you know how I always say that the truckers always know the best places to eat?  Well, my co-worker (who also took the photos for this post) and I decided to forgo our early 'princess' breakfast before leaving the hotel and instead stop for a meal once we got on the road.  So I did what I always so and texted my Da and asked him for a recommendation. He has driven through Massachusetts often enough so I thought he would know best.  However, he passed this one off to he felt could better advise us - namely, My Uncle Ron (who just so happens to live in Worcester).  So I gave him a call and he pointed us in the direction of the Miss Worcester Diner.  He said it was a favorite of his & my Aunt Linda's, that it had good food and he eluded to the potential for 'interesting dishes'.  

He wasn't wrong. 

The Miss Worcester Diner is was pretty easy to find, not too far off the Mass Pike and as for interesting dishes - well - my mere words wouldn't do it justice.

The place is tiny, so even one table of customers can make the place feel fully & cozy.  We had some of the best diner coffee I've ever had and plus - the sugar wasn't in those tiny packets but an actual sugar jar!  

The decor is neat, too!  All sorts of signs and stickers both current and antique, it all lends a fun, warm and homey feel.

Lara and I are both pancake fans, so we went with those - but it was a tough choice to pick exactly what kind of pancakes we wanted because they offered so many different varieties!  Lara went with the plain but I had the strawberry (yes, huge dollop of whipped cream on the top).  I also ordered a side order of bacon, but I ended up taken the bacon and some of the pancake with me because I was too full. 
And really, what's not to like about a diner with THIS on the menu!

I'd like to visit them again and try a meal that isn't breakfast - I can only imagine how good it is!!  Oh - bring cash with you - this is a cash-only establishment, but if you forget - no worries, they have an ATM inside.

So next time you are in central Massachusetts and looking for a good meal, look for the Miss Worcester Diner - you won't be disappointed!
