THE MAKING OF A GREAT DINER:
RAY AND CHARLES, LOCATED ON ROUTE 739 ACROSS FROM ST. VINCENT'S CATHOLIC CHURCH, ISN'T VERY OLD (IT OPENED IN 2003) BUT IT HAS QUICKLY BECOME THE ONE-STOP-SHOPPING AND EATING PLACE FOR THE AREA. RAY, WHO GREW UP IN BROOKLYN AND HAD HIS FIRST LUNCHEONETTE AT 18, INVITED HIS FRIEND, CHARLES, TO SET UP SHOP WITH HIM IN PENNSYLVANIA. HENCE THE NAME: RAY AND CHARLES. THE CO-OWNERS USED THE ICONIC DARK GLASSES AND MUSIC NOTES OF THE REAL RAY CHARLES AS THEIR TRADEMARK. CHARLES, HOWEVER, QUICKLY TIRED OF THE BUSINESS. RAY'S FAMILY FILLED THE VOID. THERE ARE NIGHTLY SPECIALS ? WHICH YOU CAN HAVE ON ANY NIGHT ? HOT, OPEN-FACED TURKEY OR ROAST BEEF, MEAT LOAF WITH MASHED POTATOES, FISH AND CHIPS OR TWO BURGERS FOR EXAMPLE.
YOU CAN CREATE-YOUR-OWN PANINI, BY CHOOSING THREE INGREDIENTS FROM A LONG LIST, OR MAYBE YOU NEED A SUB, A SALAD, WRAP, BREAKFAST FEAST, OR HOT BISCUITS AND GRAVY. GOT DRINKS? GREEN MOUNTAIN COFFEE, SODAS, COOLERS, BEER AND, OF COURSE, DESSERT. RAY AND CHARLES HAS A DISPLAY CASE FULL OF DESSERTS AS WELL AS A CANDY RACK, AISLES OF CHIPS, DIPS AND EVEN SOME FANCY BOTTLES AND JARS FROM STONEWALL KITCHENS. THERE IS A FULLY STOCKED DELI FOR REGULAR SANDWICHES TOO.
