Oh, you're killin' me! Not only do I live in Bethlehem, but I also am a culinary grad, recipe developer and food writer. You couldn't have picked worse spots for a burger if you'd been led there by a derelict hobo.

The Bethlehem and Allentown Brew Works make some mean burgers - as does the Ho (Tally Ho, just down the road from Pete's *gag*).

Branch out! Don't NOT stop in Bethlehem because of these 3 burgers, please. I'm still trying to figure out how you came to find those 3 hole-in-the-wall spots?

Stewed ... dear me. There is a place I saw on one of FN's shows that had burgers cooked that way in onions for hours on end and the result was pure bliss. Pete's problem is using frozen hockey pucks instead of ground round.

Dad's? P-toooey! I am of the mind that if you sell it, you should be able to prepare it. I don't CARE if it's a hot dog joint - if you're hawking burgers, you darn well be able to make them - or get them off the menu.

Isn't that "design" all over everything nowadays? Tough call.

I've been cooking on both ends of the spectrum - from classically French trained to feeding 9 on a dime. I have no huge love for Sandra lee, but you do what you must to survive, and if it's soomething that will help others, so much the better.

Nobody rates the world on each breath they take, and yet we all breathe and must do so to live. Honestly, it's the TV Food Network, not the TV Chef Network. I don't think they should pat themselves on the back, but aren't they delivering what they should -- food?
