"There are a lot of breathtaking sights to see across the vastness of the U.S. of A., and it's definitely possible to argue that some of the most beautiful are around in Appalachia. Stretching from the southernmost counties of New York all the way into northern Alabama and Mississippi, there are 13 states total represented in Appalachia. If you're looking for the kind of driving holiday with beautiful scenery, plenty of places to hike,"
"So, let's talk about the best of the best. How did we get there? We started by restricting our perimeters to the counties served by the Appalachian Regional Commission. When it came time to pick the best diners, picks came partially from this writer's personal experience, and the experiences of West Virginia-area friends and family. We also looked for diners that are serving up all the diner classics and doing it really well, along with those that have become an important center of community."
"Kelly O's Diner has a few locations around Pittsburgh and one in Warrendale, but even if you've never been to Pittsburgh, never sampled one of the city's diner staples - the Turkey Devonshire - or attended one of the strangely specific food festivals that Pennsylvania is known for, you still might be familiar with Kelly O's. It's been featured on "Diners, Drive-ins & Dives," when Guy Fieri stopped by to sample the haluski."
