It’s a miracle! I wished for chicken croquettes, AND IT HAPPENED!!

Tuesday, February 16

I’m a firm believer that everyone in the world gets one wish answered.  Just one.  So be careful of what you wish for, because you don’t want to blow it on wishing for Justin Bieber to make another album.

Yesterday, I had wished that Lansdale had a restaurant that had chicken croquettes on the menu.

Today, it happened.

To start the story, roll the clock back to breakfast time.  We wanted breakfast sandwiches.  And someone to serve them to us.  So Ken suggested the Koffee Korner on North Broad Street – in the old Music Hall Block building.  I hadn’t been there in a long, long time.

Why, I don’t know.  It’s great.  It’s a throwback to another era.  A simple eatery with friendly service.  A place you can see the kitchen from the dining room.  Neat, old pictures hanging around. And prices that can’t be beat.

$3.50 for a sausage, egg and cheese sandwich.  A buck for a cup of coffee. AND it comes with hash browns.  Hash brown that I’m going to vote the best hash browns in Lansdale.

So as we’re sitting there, we see a notice that the Koffee Korner will now be open for dinner.  In fact, it has been for about two weeks.  And what’s on the menu?  CHICKEN CROQUETTES!!

$10.50 with a soup or salad.  I am so there.  From yesterday’s comments, I know there are a  lot of chicken croquette aficionados in town – so let’s set up a Croquette Night Out!  At the Koffee Korner.

And maybe we can figure out the cryptic slogan at the bottom of the dinner menu:  Dinner Menu Items Also Available For Dinner!

I could have wished for world peace, or the end to hunger.  Well, in a way I did.  Because my hunger will be ended one day soon with Lansdale Chicken Croquettes at the Koffee Korner.

Lansdale Shopping Score:  1

Our next stop was to get some beer.  Unlike most states where beer is a supermarket item, we Pennsylvanians have to go to a beer distributor.  Or a bar. 

And we have a great beer distributor in Lansdale.  Because it’s a drive through beer distributor!  No parking.  No getting out of your car.  Just pull in, roll down the window, and tell the beer concierge what you want.  Pop the trunk, or have them put it in the back seat.  It couldn’t be easier.

Great selection.  And they cater to lazy people like me.  What a perfect combination.

How many places can say they have a drive through beer distributor?  Nowhere around here that I can think of.  It’s quirky convenience that can’t be beat.  Enter on St. Elmo Street, just down from the Lansdale Post Office.  Exit on Pellette Street.  Bonus points for anyone who actually knew that was called Pellette Street.

So, today’s score:

TWO opportunities to shop/eat in Lansdale met.

Let’s see what today brings!
