If there’s one thing we know for certain about Lehigh Valley Style readers, it’s that you can’t get enough local food content. Our restaurant reviews, each issue’s Eat This or Drink This (don’t miss the Cranberry Hibiscus Red Velvet Latte on pg. 56) and any local chef recipe is consistently the most popular. You read the stories online, interact with the posts on social media and write in with what dish or eatery we should highlight next. You love food! And we do too. So when we get the opportunity to dedicate an entire edition to food, we celebrate it!
On pg. 42, our annual Restaurant Awards honor reader-voted winners in 46 different categories. From favorite live music and favorite overall vibe to favorite rooftop and favorite view, we’ve got you covered. We hope you celebrate these winners with us all month long by making reservations, ordering takeout or sharing this feature with a friend.
The fun continues with Yocco’s, as they celebrate 100 years of hot dogs. Owner Gary Iacocca takes readers down memory lane and shares what’s next for the local legend on pg. 31.
But as this edition recognizes the region’s vast culinary offerings, we also emphasize the issue of food insecurity, highlighting local organizations that are working to help those without consistent access to enough food for their households. It’s a prevalent problem in this country and in the Lehigh Valley. Find out what you can do to help on pg. 38.
