HERMON, Maine (AP) - A Maine truck stop that was featured in a Saturday Night Live skit is rolling back its hours.
Dysart’s Truck Stop and Restaurant, which is off I-95 in Hermon, said it’ll no longer off around-the-clock hours at the restaurant starting on Oct. 1.
Co-owner Mary Dysart Hartt said the restaurant will begin closing at midnight. She said there wasn’t enough late-night traffic to justify keeping the restaurant staff on duty. But she said the store and gas pumps will still be available, 24-7.
Dysart’s got national attention when customers Jack and Sonya Palmer of Hermon filmed a TV commercial and stumbled over the words “buttery, flaky crust.” The couple’s tongue-tied outtakes were parodied in a Saturday Night Live sketch in 2018.
