Yocco's (P)
625 W. Liberty St.
610-821-8488
Like
a bad elementary school joke, Yocco’s, the Lehigh
Valley’s “Hot Dog King,” is serious about its
wieners. And these aren’t your ordinary wieners.
Since 1922, Yocco’s has been dishing up dogs—cooked
Texas-style, served on a bed of chopped onions, and
lathered in heavy-duty mustard and a liberal
application of “secret” chili sauce—to adoring fans.
The now-chain began as a single shop at 625 Liberty
Street, and was founded by the brother of former
Chrysler CEO Lee Iacocca. (“Yocco” is locals’
mispronounced version of the family’s last name.)
Beyond its famous tubes of mystery meat—actually
shipped worldwide—Yocco’s also serves the standard
fare of hamburgers, cheeseburgers and cheesesteaks,
seven days a week. A truly decadent culinary
experience… just don’t forget to pack a roll of Tums
for the car ride home. (Open M-Th 10a-10p; F-Sa
10a-11p; Su 11a-10p.)
