If you’re ever passing through Pennsylvania, do yourself a favor and stop by FAT KIDS SPORTS BAR in Dubois. Unassuming little hole-in-the-wall place with the best food that far west of Philadelphia. I’ve been stopping by after nearly every backpacking trip in the mountains for many years now. Heck, I create excuses out of thin air just to have to be in that area so I can get my fix. Always cheesesteaks and wings for me. Best wings I’ve ever had.
I hope y’all are enjoying your days off with good friends and good food! Enjoy!
