we asked chefs at some of the Lehigh Valley’s best restaurants
to share some of their most beloved dishes with us.

            Steak on the Stone                                                                Humberto Chavolla
                                                                                                       Manager
            This entrée is an attention-getter. It arrives tableside on a 500-degree

Fiesta Olé  stone and the customer lets it cook until it reaches the desired doneness.

            “We don’t use any oil,” says manager Humberto Chavolla. “All the meat

            juices stay on the stone.”

            Fiesta Olé has been serving up the tastes

            of authentic Mexican cuisine to the Valley for

            12 years and prides itself in making its from-

            scratch meals with fresh ingredients to suit the

            tastes of the individual diner.

            “They can have options,” Chavolla says. “We

            can make it nonspicy or make it as spicy as

            they want. People who like Mexican food can

            find options here.”

            Other options at the family restaurant

            include a grill dedicated solely to vegan fare,

            catering for large groups, a full bar, live music

            and a magician that performs table side.

the aroma curling up from the smoker tantalizes with scents
of housemade sausages, bacon and cured meats that make up
McCoole’s Smoked Charcuterie plate.

    The plate features smoked pork sausage, prosciutto, house-
brined pickles and McCoole’s sweet onion marmalade (also
a favorite on their grass-fed burgers). The plate is perfect for
sharing, with a variety of ingredients that are sure to please
any palate.

   “We can think of no better way to enjoy a summer evening
than by sitting on our patio and sharing a small plate of love in
historic Quakertown,” says chef Vanessa Grimston. “The fact
that we’ll have the smoker going, sending the beautiful aroma
into the air just adds to the perfect summer experience!”
