The Morning Call
By Susan L. Gottshall
December 3, 2009

The new restaurant at Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem, Burgers And More by Emeril, is an early holiday gift.

The eatery, which promises ”the ultimate burger experience,” delivered one of the best burgers I’ve eaten.

Burgers And More is the first-ever hamburger restaurant from celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse. He already operates the upscale Emeril’s Chop House at the Bethlehem casino.

Bright and unfussy contemporary style signals the new restaurant’s approachable spirit when it comes to cost as well as fare.

Tables in a variety of colors keep the ambience casual. But the open kitchen — with its parade of fat burgers in the pick-up queue — is clearly the focus.

Of course hamburgers get their due here, but the fare includes burgers a long way from beef.

By Brett Anderson

Emeril’s Delmonico was conceived with a tightly focused mission: To restore a historic restaurant using contemporary standards of service and cuisine that honors its glory days.

This is the most confident cooking I’ve ever found in a Lagasse restaurant. The menu may be all over the place — small plates, medium plates, full plates, classic plates, steaks, charcuterie galore — but once the food starts arriving, you realize it’s merely evidence of an impressive kitchen’s range.
