Regional dining traditions in North Carolina and PA

Overview

Regional dining establishments in North Carolina and Pennsylvania continue to be recognized for their historical significance and diverse culinary offerings.

In North Carolina, dining experiences range from historic sites like the Woolworth building in Asheville—which has been repurposed into an art gallery featuring a restored soda fountain—to long-standing community staples such as Smith’s Red & White in the Dortches area, a grocery and restaurant legacy dating back to 1954. Other notable locations include Jones Fish Camp in Maiden, which the North Carolina Folklife Institute recognizes as a “modern Carolina fish camp,” Sarah’s Kitchen in Ocean Isle Beach, and Reid’s Fine Foods Market & Wine Bar in Charlotte.

In Pennsylvania, 220 Stars & Spirits in Bedford has emerged as a notable breakfast destination. Following a relocation and rebranding from the Route 220 Diner, the establishment has maintained its reputation for serving regional staples such as scrapple and pancakes.
