The "TV Shows Filmed in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania" Story

 It was an ordinary day.  Came across an article that listed television shows that had been filmed in Lancaster County in the past.  Certainly wasn't a complete list, but it gave those whose read the article a better idea as to the types of stories that had been filmed in Lancaster in the past.  One television show was known as "Bizarre Foods: Delicious Destinations" and was broadcast in 2018 on the Travel Channel.  The show featured a film crew that went through Lancaster's Central Market to stands such as Hammond's Pretzel Bakery and Stoltzfus Meats.  The show was hosted by chef and TV personality Andrew Zimmerman.  Another show that was filmed in Lancaster was an episode of "House Hunters."  It was a 2022 episode that featured prospective homeowners who were searching for a new home in Lancaster County.  Locales featured areas in the Lititz area, West Lampeter Township, Manheim, Reinholds, Ephrata and a home in the city of Lancaster.  Another show was an episode of "Amish Mafia" that was marketed to show the inner workings of the Amish and Mennonite communities.  The show was scripted and largely fake.  The show was filmed in Lancaster County.  "Drag Me Down the Aisle" was a show filmed in 2019 and has been featured on "RuPaul's Drag Race."  The episode featured local businesses such as Anita's on Walnut, the Universal Athletic Club on the Oregon Pike and Fetching Flora and Floral Designs of Mount Joy.  "American Idol" winner Taylor Hicks visited Lancaster County during the Pennsylvania-based episode of "State Plate," a TV show that highlights staple dishes in each state.  Hicks visits Welsh Mountain Canning Co. in New Holland, Bird-In-Hand Bakery and Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery in Lititz in 2017.  In the fall of 2020, when theaters nationwide were shut down due to the pandemic, the TV show "Portals to Hell" filmed an episode at the Fulton Theatre.  The episode aired in 2012 on Discovery Channel.  There have been a few other shows that were filmed in the city of Lancaster and it's surroundings, but they weren't as well known as the shows I have listed in this story.  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
