Hershey (Penn.) Pantry, the meal with its own zip code

While here in Hershey, PA (the USA chocolate capital), we opted to head to the hottest breakfast spot in town, THE HERSHEY PANTRY (www.hersheypantry.com). It's an adorable little 20+ table spot with a marble bar/counter with stools and we had been told the CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES are the best. They are such a secret (not) that they are not even on the menu!

WE had no clue of the portion size and ordered Samuel the small 2 BUTTERMILK PANCAKE portion. I went for the three size and Will had a nice poached egg with ham and toast.

I ate about 1/4 of mine and Sam even less as each fluffy tasty loaded with Hershey's chocolate chips pancake was practically 8-9 inches across.Our waitress admitted that most of the dishes HAVE THEIR OWN ZIP CODE!

Especially the CINNAMON ROLL we saw at the next table. Sadly, the waste upset us so much as Sam and I could have easily shared a small portion.

Voted 17 years in a row the best breakfast in central Pennsylvania, it's no surprise, but I only wish I knew the portion size before it arrived.

ALAN--beginning to suffer from over-chocolatization after only 24 hours here in Hershey.
