Classified Info: Pal’s Sudden Service Secret Menu

For over 18 years plus a few summers, I lived in Kingsport, TN, headquarters to Pal’s Sudden Service. Not once during those 18 years did anyone mention the Pal’s Secret Menu – until today.

While skimming the I Love Pal’s group pages on Facebook, I stumbled upon a discussion thread asking what everyone liked best on the Secret Menu. For those as sheltered as I am here are the items:

– Dipped Big Pal (meat is dipped in sauce burger sauce)
– Dressed Hot Dog (hot dog with lettuce, tomato and pickle)
– Toasted Cheese (bun reversed grilled cheese with lettuce and tomato)
– Ham & Cheese Breakfast Style (toasted cheese w/ ham)
– Peachy Mello Yellow
– Peachy Sprite

Something tells me there will be a need for stickers and t-shirts proclaiming ones knowledge of this highly classified menu.

Pal’s Sudden Service at 36,000 Feet

Having been raised in the Tri-Cities area I am more than familiar with Pal’s Sudden Service. I even have a few extra pounds as proof. But the 52 years of Pal’s existence spreads beyond the borders of Kingsport, Bristol and Johnson City.

Earlier this week I found myself on a plane returning from the Boston area. As I took my aisle seat I was greeted with a friendly face seated next to the window. Conversation quickly kicked up a little known fact about my plane neighbor: that she gives thanks each day for Pal’s.

At 36,000 feet in the air high above the state of Kentucky I could not believe my ears. The young lady had never lived in the Tri-Cities area nor did she know many people there. But she did know one thing and it was Pal’s Frenchie Fries.

It has been over 8 years since I lived within reasonable driving distance of Pal’s so I sure do miss it. But what I never expected was to meet a complete stranger who shared my love for the most known unknown of fast-food restaurants.
