"Apple pie on the house and I won't take no for an answer!"

Like most Dark Shadows fans, episode #1 is among my favorites, the first appearance of Victoria Winters and Burke Devlin, the Collinsport train station, Jane Rose, Conrad Bain, and seeing the Collinsport Inn diner for the first time.  Victoria was tired and hungry after her long trip from New York to Maine and who can forget her order of a rare roast beef sandwich and coffee?  Even more memorable was Maggie Evans' gesture of old New England hospitality when she said in her clear sparkling voice, "Apple pie on the house and I won't take no for an answer!"  This always sounds so so good that I decided to go to the diner myself and order the same thing.  It hasn't changed much over the years (except for the prices) and Maggie no longer works there of course, but the menu still offers a good rare roast beef sandwich on white bread and the home made apple pie is a local favorite.  Delicious and satisfying, here it is for you to enjoy.
