Everything that got a vote in Review #11 will be included in the upcoming poll, and in addition, we'll include restaurants nominated between now and tomorrow at 5 PM, so please get your choices in today or tomorrow.

There is no need to nominate Comet Ping Pong, as I will be going there and reviewing it very soon anyway.

Skipping ahead of the line,and not reading all the previous reviews, how far are you willing to travel? And knowing , I may be the single voter for this establishment, it doesn't hurt to through my hat into the ring. 

Maison in Lancaster, Pa warrants consideration. 

Anywhere; it's just a matter of when I can get there. Lancaster is certainly within the scope of short-term dining - but note that Hugo's in Houston, for example, was the only restaurant that got no votes in the last poll, so we still tend to be a DC-centric group.

I respect that the members who chime are DC strong. Just a mention here and there in my neck of the woods is always appreciated . After all, Ive been away, and came back "home". DC has that effect.

Please keep in mind that I'm *more* than willing to come up that way to review a place - get your friends and comrades to join, and post a lot (it takes a few posts to even see this forum), and you'll get the votes. I will come up there on a week's notice for sure, but you'll need to recruit locals to vote; otherwise, the places realistically won't win.

Note: If a place gets 0 votes, it drops out. So make sure to vote for each place you nominate - right now, you're our only active member from south-central PA, and I don't want your work to go unnoticed. You're free to nominate as many places as you want; just know that realistically, they won't win until we get more local members.

Ugh, I just realized I never did a review of Maison when we went there two summers ago. It was a great dinner, though going in didn't realize it was BYOB so had to run out to a wine shop around the block. We followed that meal up with ice cream at the food truck park down the street. Another good meal was John Jeffries and we did a couple breakfasts at the crepe place. Maison is very good, but don't think that it is enough destination dining to warrant a special trip just to eat there. It is a definite stop if in Lancaster.

Thank you for the recognition. Maison is a bit of a gem. I do see your point of the drawback that there is no wine& beverage program in place. The likelihood of securing  a liquor license in Central Pa is nearly impossible. 

John Jeffries is a great spot as well. Inside the Lancaster Arts Hotel, it is enriched with so much history. The ever changing farm to table establishment always delivers a finely composed meal. Service is consistently engaging, and well informed. 

Downtown Lancaster is certainly worth a trip, if not for Maison, a plethora of other options are available to explore. 

Thank you for the recognition!

PA proud,

kat

I saw Alton Brown visited Maison in Lancaster, which is my old home town....I'm going to try it soon myself. It has a buzz.

He did in fact.

Ever since the write up in the NY Post,which drew similarities between Brooklyn,& Lancaster, there has been an influx of people. 

Lancaster is most certainly worth the trip.

May I add myself to the group?  

Of course to both of you. 

I doubt Maison will win, but if it does, I'd be happy for the three of us to go - Kibbee you could drive up there with me, and we could meet Kat.
