The 75-year-old diner has been totally renovated. Photo submitted Chef Darrell’s Mountain Diner owners Tom Warrington and Betsy Folwell pose with chef Darrell Spencer on the opening day of their new restaurant in Blue Mountain Lake. Spencer is leasing the restaurant. Seventy-five years ago Silk City Diner number 59 left the factory in Paterson, New Jersey. The 42-seat restaurant—with a stainless steel and cream enamel exterior, traveled to Conowingo, Maryland, about 35 miles from Baltimore. There it served customers for decades. From Maryland it was hauled to Pennsylvania, then Ohio, where it was partially restored. Eventually, it landed in Blue Mountain Lake in 2017, during a blizzard.
