Willies Weenie Wagon is located on Altama Ave in Brunswick, Georgia. This old landmark is still run by Willie himself! It is an old roadside stand that has been added onto several times. The hot dogs and other menu items are legendary. Willie is famous for his pork chop sandwich and people drive for miles to get one. If you ever pass by Brunswick, Georgia on I-95 be sure to pull off and visit Willie!

Steve and Susan Levinson took a three-day trip to the Lehigh Valley area of PA last week-
end and ate at several good places. Post #5362 for more in depth info. Very worth it if these places sound to your liking.
In the downtown section of Emmaus (a few miles south of Allentown): Balasia, a vegetarian (actually, *vegan*) restaurant (500 Chestnut Street; 484-330-6405),
Phillipsburg, NJ (across from Easton, PA): Union Station Grill, where we ate lunch on Saturday in the renovated train dining car. The owners are a husband & wife (he's the chef and she's the server). They were very nice people and we enjoyed meeting them. http://www.theunionstationgrill.com/index.htm
Granny McCarthy's Tea Room, located in the charming historic downtown section of Bethlehem. http://donegal.com/tea_room_home.asp
Apollo Grill (also located in downtown Bethlehem). It's been voted "Best Bethlehem Restaurant" seven years in-a-row and it was easy to see why. Dinner reservations - even for early hours - are absolutely necessary. http://www.apollogrill.com
Shankweiler's Drive-In ("America's oldest drive-in theater", located in Orefield): http://www.shankweilers.com/
Yocco's "The Hot Dog King" (the original location is in Allentown, plus there are now two additional Allentown locations and one/each in Emmaus, Fogelsville & Trexlertown)
