Emeril;s Chop House

Emeril Legasse, of Food Network Fame, New Orleans's Commanders Palace and many others has opened two great restaurants in the New Sands Casino & Resort in Bethlehem, PA.

The Chop house is a beautiful venue, with colors of warm Bronze & Gold glass & wood.

To begin, the maitre d' served us a homemade toasted crostini with a house creamy boursin cheese spread with a sprinkling of micro greens. The caesar salad came on, what i consider, KEY to any salad, a CHILLED plate, with large chards of parmesean reggiano.

The steaks & chops are huge and just delicious. I had the mot perfectly cooked sirloin- charred on the outside & perfectly pink inside. It was served with crispy onions and blue cheese crumbles. All the steaks come with a trio of house sauces- bearnaise, horseradish cream & the house "au jus" . Just grand!
YOu can also have it "oscar stye;" with asparagus & crab meat on top, among other choices.

The sides are equally exceptional- we had the parmesean crusted cauliflower and the smoked mozzerella and sweet corn gratin- wow!

The Italian Table restaurant menu looked really wonderful!

Just two hours from NY and worth the ride! The hotel is very nice and the casino is huge!
