A local barbecue concept found a new home as its lease was nearing its end in the Lehigh Valley.<\/p>\n
You Got Pork\u2019D BBQ will operate at the Dewey Banquet Hall at 502 Durham St. in Hellertown, owner Brian Jones said. It held its last day at\u00a0Leaf Cigar Bar<\/a> in Forks Township on Sunday<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat\u2019s nice about being in Hellertown [is] it\u2019s a central location in the Lehigh Valley,\u201d Jones said. \u201cSo Easton, Bethlehem, Allentown \u2014 it\u2019s right off of [Route] 78, it\u2019s not too far off of 78. I tried to find a space in Easton, which is where I\u2019ve lived all my life. Unfortunately it just didn\u2019t happen, but Hellertown is a great, great central location, so now even more people can reach us.\u201d<\/p>\n He also thanked the community for their words of encouragement and suggestions for a new location.<\/p>\n \u201cThere were so many people that said, \u2018I know you\u2019re going to find a place, it\u2019s going to be great and we\u2019re going to come see you there,\u2019 \u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n Jones said his timeline is to start using the banquet hall to support their catering and food truck operations in early April, begin hosting events in May and then begin sit-down dining service in early June.<\/p>\n The banquet hall would be open to public dining, but memberships will give people access to alcoholic beverages as well as send proceeds to the Dewey Fire Co., which Jones said stopped using the space in early 2025.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a beautiful space that they still want to see get utilized, so essentially we\u2019re partnering up where \u2026 we can bring it back to life essentially,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Jones said they haven\u2019t finalized the hours yet but that You Got Pork\u2019D BBQ will most likely operate Thursday through Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A local barbecue concept found a new home as its lease was nearing its end in the Lehigh…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":155261,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[119,121,120,60,204,182,205,434,28,435,436,4237,289,432],"class_list":{"0":"post-155260","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-allentown","8":"tag-allentown","9":"tag-allentown-headlines","10":"tag-allentown-news","11":"tag-business","12":"tag-hellertown","13":"tag-local-news","14":"tag-lower-saucon-township","15":"tag-northampton-county","16":"tag-pennsylvania","17":"tag-restaurants-food-and-drink","18":"tag-retail","19":"tag-saucon-valley","20":"tag-things-to-do","21":"tag-top-stories-tmc"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=155260"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155260\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/155261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=155260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=155260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=155260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
