The 3rd periodic 340 Club Reunion has been postponed indefinitely

Before there was an Animal House there was a 340 Club; before there was a Dean Wormer there was a Harold "the fuck" Martin; before there was John Blutarsky or a Daniel Simpson Day there was Tim Lutter, Sil Simpson, Dan Joyce, Tim Getzloff, Dick Lichty, Jim Shay, Phil Zangari, Chris Joyce, Dave Petkosh, Mitch Herr, Kenny Giltner, Dean Staherski, Randy Brown, John Emswiler, Sue Krimmell Emswiler and myself; before there were any Delta Tau Chi pledge pins, there were 340 Club cards; before Otis Day & the Knights, the 340 Jukebox; before there were Delta Brothers there were the usual gang of idiots that congregated at 328, 340 (twice) and 338 West King Street in Lancaster, Pennsylvania for a decade beginning in August 1974. This blog is dedicated to those idiots and those times. God bless Kenny, Mitch and Chris; may they rest in peace.

Betwixt & Between


This post is from Don "Coach" Kuhns who is still trying to figure out how to post.

Betwixt and Between Restaurant
One of the 340 club members fine cuisine stops after closing hours

Located ½ block from 340 club,
Seating capacity; 12 people Average # of people at 2:30 am; 25-30
Kitchen utensils; 2 frying pans
Kitchen equipment; 1 gas stove,
Amenities: early morning dining, drunken people watching

Be prepared for one Lancaster’s city chic restaurants converted from a 1 room apt . The cuisine includes burgers, bacon and eggs. This is as elegant as any restaurant in town at 3am. Unique feature is the personal one on one service with the chef, as he prepares your meal only.(Two pans may have something to do with this special service). Be prepared, however, to wait for 1 or more hours for your meal.

Note: Due to the total number of people that exceed the one room capacity, it is important to know how you will get your meal. The chef will call out the order. You must confirm it by raising you hand and proceed to pick it up. The meal is prepaid during the ordering process.

How to beat the one-hour waiting lines:

One early morning after Dave Ream (Dreamo) and I closed the South, we took off up Queen Street on motorcycles. As usual, we are racing toward the square around 100 mph when we saw one police car blocking the intersection at the monuments. I headed left side over the sidewalk and Dreamo did the same on the right side. The one officer was waving at us, but I don’t think it was meant in a cordial way. By the time we got to Orange Street, several cruisers were headed our way, and we flew up Orange. Dreamo and I split and I escaped and later ditched my bike at the church near the 340 club. To my surprise, no one was at the 340! I think this was a first that I recall no one there at 3am on a Saturday night. I then remembered our after drinking cuisine, and headed down to Betwixt and Between. As I got to the front door, Dreamo pulled up on his bike, dropped it behind the green garbage container next to Betwixt. We walked in laughing of our venture and noticed the 20 + drunks all standing waiting for their order. I heard the chef say; “who ordered two eggs with bacon?”, Dreamo raised his hand and grabbed the plate and said, that would be me……..

I remember that one. Dave was very discreet when he said,"that would be me"..I think he even convinced me he ordered it.

While I don't think I was there ... I could hear El Reamo saying it as I read Coach's words. I look forward to hearing at least one more Dave Ream adventure. If I knew it I would tell it myself but I know Phil or Coach can give it proper justice. It had to do with a certain Monday (I think) night visit to The Lancaster Dispensing Company.
