Chef Emeril Lagasse to Open First Restaurant in Northeast
Chef Emeril Lagasse has announced plans to open his newest restaurant, Emeril's Chop House, on Friday, May 22, 2009. The restaurant will be Lagasse's first restaurant in the Northeast. Emeril's Chop House will be located at the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem, a casino and entertainment destination being developed by Las Vegas Sands Corp.
The menu will feature prime dry-aged beef, fresh daily catch, a selection of regional and local ingredients including seasonal produce, artisan cheeses and dairy products, plus a few of Chef Emeril's signature dishes.
"We're excited to open our first restaurant in the Northeast in a great city like Bethlehem, especially at this historic property that has always been a symbol of the city's industry and culture," says Emeril Lagasse. "I hope everyone who comes to experience our food and service will see this as a real neighborhood restaurant and a small step in the revitalization of this important site in the community."
