It's Allentown. He should at least be SEEN celebrating with a burger
or a pizza, and beer. Don't forget beer.

Of course, 85% means that he doesn't really have to pander to the
tastes of the hoi polloi.

Wow! I didn't know Ed was mayor of Allentown. I was just
there in the fall of 2007. Went to the beautiful museum
there to see the Tiffany lamp exhibit.

Congrats, Ed. I can say I knew you when? Or were you already
the mayor back in 2001?

My family had its homestead in Allentown for many years; my folks now

Good Luck in November, Ed!

IIRC, Ed is the meister of home-made sausages, brats, and wursts. And
grilling. Those should go down nicely with a local brewski!

If you have to explain a joke, it loses the punch... It would have been much
better to let it run itself into a Snope's entry! Ed would then have decades
of notoriety.

You do kind of look like each other. Maybe he'll need a security double

Mack,

First I've heard of them.

I rang them up to ask which meat they use and it's a beef and pork hot dog.

I chuckled at their motto "The secret's in Yocco's sauce!" Is that a good
thing? <G>

Next time I'm in the neighborhood I'll try one.

Thanks!

Best,

Hmmm. I was tempted to look them up the next time I'm
out that way but then I saw on their menu that they serve
Mrs. T's pierogi. Yuck! Those things are lousy. I used
to eat them when I first moved to Calif. and didn't have
a good source of pierogi. Believe me, you have to be
desperate to eat them. Once I learned to make my own
pierogi I naturally never touched them again.

Anyway, it makes the hot dogs suspect, imo. If they would
serve a lousy pierog they probably serve a lousy hotdog.

Although, I have to commend them on serving Coke rather
than the evil Pepsi, the anti-Coke! So maybe they have good
taste after all. Maybe I will give the hotdogs a shake.

You'll have more than one if you like them. Sort of like chilli dogs
with a unique taste.

Over the years the bun and dog have gotten smaller - maybe two good
mouthfuls now.

Also, try a cheesesteak at the Brass Rail on Lehigh Street.

http://www.brassrailrestaurant.com/

The original reastaurant was on Hamilton Street in Allentown, but that
was closed about ten years ago, I think. Very good cheesesteaks. Hot
peppers, too.

I know that they ship those around the U.S.

Worth a taste, and you might like them, I don't care for perogies at
all, although I guess they are okay if you can doctor them up a bit
with sauces, etc. They specialized in hot dogs and gradually
expanded. Pierogies are just a side dish.

When you're in the area, eat at the Brass Rail. Well worth it. Great
food and excellent cheesesteaks. I referred to it in my reply to
Andy.

When I visit the area, I generally have their Veal Parmesan with a
side of spaghetti and a salad (several times a week).

Mack,

Great menus!!! Didn't see one thing I wouldn't eat!

In a sense, I'm glad that place is out of the way to me. I could easily put
on some poundage eating there!

Oh stop already. <drool>

I'm trying to break a weight loss stall at the moment so have been on
the Atkins fat fast for 4 days.

I could use some real food. :-(

If this did not work so well, I'd not be doing it...

3 more days.

Barb, when the Ed O' Allentown first came on the radar screen, I asked 'our
Ed' of rfc fame, if they possibly could be related....it just took feet and
ran from there.....I'm still on the lookout for 'Elect Ed' campaign
material.....I'm sure our Ed would get a charge out of handing it out to his
friends, family and frenemies in his locale. All I have been able to lay
hands on are lawn signs, a bit large for mailing purposes. I'm looking for
pens, pencils, buttons, etc. Don't worry Ed, I'm still looking ....

NBC10 outta Philly did a piece on Yocco's the other day on their morning 10!
Show. They were really pushy with the 'we're the best hot dog in the entire
viewing area for Channel 10. Fortunately, the on-air face wouldn't diss any
of the other hot dog vendors whom he had visited and the Yocco's people were
really trying to get him to say theirs was the best. I, for one am glad he
didn't. They say the secret is in their sauce and steamed buns. Most
decent vendors, including those with a pushcart on the Philly sidewalk steam
their buns, and as for their sauce......don't even go there. I hate and
despise Yocco's hot dogs. The dogs are deep fried and the 'sauce' if you
can call it that resembles the canned 'hot dog sauce' you get in the grocery
store but add another 2"-3" of standing grease on top. I think they fry the
dogs and drip the grease over it and call it sauce. I don't think Yocco's
serves ANYTHING that doesn't come out of the deep fat fryer and I'm not too
sure that they don't reserve the 'historical' (in that this is the grease we
made our first hot dog in) grease and keep re-using it. The first site is
on 19th street across from Cedar Beach in Allentown, the second is on
Chestnut Street in Emmaus.........I wouldn't go in the Emmaus one on a bet,
as it is too filthy for words the time I went there.

If you do happen to come by the Allentown area, try the Brass Rail. They
have a good reputation and decent food.......my only complaint is they claim
to have 'invented' the cheesesteak, but the cheesesteak pre-dates them. Oh
well.

Once again, to each his own. No, I'm not thrilled about Yocco's hot
dogs. I haven't had one for thirty years. Some folks love 'em; I
wouldn't go out of my way for them, though.

Yoccos has a following. Respect their choice.

I posted information on the Brass Rail close by in another message. We
lived in Alton Park, near the restaurant on Lehigh Street.

I know Cooperburg pretty well. I ate breakfast at the diner on 309
many times. There's s a small group of shops at Passer Road - there
is a bar/grill there, but can't recall the name (always changing). I
had an office in the the complex in the early 1980s when I prepared
income tax forms.

The diner is still there, The Coopersburg Diner, one of the few places we're
apt to go to. Passer and 309 isn't much anymore. Only the Peppercorn Pub
remains. The Center Valley Post Office is at 378 and Preston Lane now, and
the Coopersburg PO is at Station and 4th Streets in Coopersburg. We've been
here for approximately 12 years.

I actually contacted their campaign headquarters but they seem to have just
blown me off. Maybe I'll contribute to his opponent instead. Of have my
wife contribute so they can say "Ed Pawlowski's wife contributed to XXX's
election fund"

Looks like someone had tried to recreate Piccata Milanese
while under LSD.

See? You're being contentious, Michael!

You don't have a photo - you don't know what it looks like.

The spaghetti comes in its own dish, but most folks empty it by the
side or over the veal.

Yeah, it's a patty and it's deep fried.

But it's damn good and a good price.

Have it with a Yuengling's lager on tap.

(Hitler liked his Bavarian wurst, too)

Cheers!

Neat trick for a vegetarian. Which Bavarian wurst, btw ?
Nürnberger Rostbratwürstl, Weißwürstl, or, or ?
