Local Diners Spill Their Best Meal Memories From The Region

I remember many years ago when my nieces and nephews were young, one of my nephews would constantly ask one question after another. While I was happy to answer, I wondered when he would take a break with the questions.

Now, it seems, I'm the one asking endless questions. Maybe it's a young/old person thing. I don't know. What do you think? Oops, there's another question.

Anyway, I like to get your reaction on social media from time to time with stuff that pops up in my head. The latest question was - "After a year of dining out in the Twin Tiers of NY & PA, this was the one meal I’ll never forget, at..." 

What am I looking for? Well, I'm just curious, and maybe, just maybe, looking for a meal from a local establishment that I might like to try, or maybe you as well. So, onto the responses.
