Stephanie and I visited Mary Yoder's Amish Kitchen restaurant in Middlefield, OH this weekend. The food wasn't any better or worse than your standard Bob Evan's fare, however the restaurant got its charm from the Amish ambiance.
Only a handful of the waitresses were wearing traditional Amish attire, the rest looked the part of a typical greasy-spoon waitress anywhere else in OH. I assumed that the waitresses that were actually dressed in Amish clothing were, in fact Amish.
Given this assumption, you can imagine my surprise when I noticed that all of the waitresses, even the Amish wait staff, were entering the food orders into the restaurants computer system!
I guess touch-screen monitors and computerized ordering applications are allowed in the Amish community now.
(I know that the restaurant itself isn't governed by Amish rules (or they wouldn't even have electricity), however the wait staff definitely seemed to be authentic Amish)
