Huntingdon's transcendental dining experience
Homage to Hirosan and his intriguing studies of food in Japan and around the world.
Huntingdon, PA, has several restaurants catering to tastes across the spectrum: from distinctive diners, to chain restaurants, to taverns, and a couple of fine dining establishments. Several people lament the constancy of the offerings, seeking the most expensive restaurants and deeming the food better for its precious cost. While those places are distinctive in their neighborhood, they resemble countless similar restaurants across the country, using similar frozen ingredients from far away or out of season. What I found most rewarding was seeking 'common' food done well. After trying burgers at several diners, restaurants, and taverns I found the one at Boxers was my favorite. Flavorful, locally butchered meat cooked through yet remaining juicy and tender, offered in a hearty size bigger than the national chains but at a low, competitive price. The reasonable variety of beer they offer to accompany their creations only enhanced the experience. Something this greasy goes well with a nicely hoppy beer like Stone Brewery's Old Guardian 'barley wine' (when it is available on tap) or a wheat beer like Paulaner Hefe-Weizen.
