It’s no secret to anyone that the past few years have been nothing less than tough for the food and drink industry. From shutdowns to shortages—both of the supply and staffing nature—restaurateurs have endured a lot, but the light at the end of the tunnel is now shining. Our Food and Drink issue is here to celebrate these amazing businesses and to help you create your dining out checklist. And I don’t know about you, but I am yearning to get back to dining out every chance I can.
While we all may be rushing back to our old favorites, there are some new kids on the block you must add to your lists. Enter, McAllister’s on York—Hanover’s newest addition combining elegance and comfort while elevating some classically familiar dishes such as their burger made from a tantalizing mix of short rib, brisket, and chuck. Did I mention they also have a rooftop bar for those warmer months approaching? Go further behind the scenes on page 22.
For those cocktail lovers of Lancaster, Downtown’s newest Queen Street addition is calling your name. Proof, located in the lower level of 30 North Queen Street, is inspired by the longstanding cocktail institutions around the world and brings distinguished spirits and exceptional wines from around the globe to the forefront of their offerings. Check out a sneak peek of a few of their staple cocktails on page 26.
Speaking of around the globe, the Susquehanna Valley is home to some of the most culturally diverse cuisine in PA. Take your taste buds on an international trip through The Valley with our Taste the World feature on page 32.
Whatever your preference, we hope your taste buds lead you to a number of the region’s best this season to continue to support the local business owners who continue to give us nothing but top-notch cuisine.
Cheers! Sam
