Yocco's Hot Dog King - Allentown, PA

The hot dogs are very well cooked, browned and crusty Hatfield franks, and the standard garnishes are chopped onion, brown mustard, and Yocco's sauce. This famous sauce is applied judiciously, and the thin, dark, barely-hot cumin-flavored liquid seeps into the bun. The combination is irresistable.

"I grew up near Allentown in Emmaus, where there is another location of Yocco's. There are several Yocco's, and most of them are better looking than the one in the editor's review. The ironic thing is that I never had a Yocco's hot dog until I moved away from Emmaus. ..." [Read More].
