There is a billboard near Coca-Cola Park in Allentown that is urging baseball fans to keep bacon off their plates. The billboard is part of an effort by the Physicians Committee—a nonprofit of 12,000 physicians—to encourage the Lehigh Valley IronPigs to bench the bacon and add health-promoting foods to their concession options.

The billboard reads, "Keep Bacon Off Your Plate. One serving a day may increase risk of colorectal cancer by 21 percent."

IronPigs ownership responded with a letter to the group that explained the team isn't in "the business or habit of dictating to people what they should or shouldn't eat or how parents should raise their children." The letter also noted that there are some healthy foods available at Coca-Cola Park and invited a representative of the group to throw out the first pitch at a game.

comparing bacon to cigarettes on that one billboard is blasphemous.

i hope all of those people involved in that die tonight.

The latest proof of the pork's popularity is The Bacon Strip in Coplay.

Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy bacon, which is basically the same thing for many people.

If you're like me, you'll eat it every way possible — topped on a burger, pizza or baked potato or wrapped around chicken, scallops and mini hot dogs.

In the Lehigh Valley, bacon has become so in vogue that entire events have been devoted to it, including Bacontopia in Bethlehem and Bacon Fest in Easton. There's even bacon on a stick at Coca-Cola Park in Allentown, home of the IronPigs.

The 57-seat restaurant, which held a soft opening March 9 at 18 N. Second St., serves an array of breakfast and lunch dishes, including many bacon-centric creations such the bacon buffalo chicken cheesesteak and The Bacon Strip wrap (includes eggs, American cheese, onions and jalapenos).

Three types of bacon are available: round, thick-cut Canadian bacon, which is served as part of eggs Benedict and other select dishes; traditional bacon, which comes from Peters Bros. Meat Market in Lenhartsville and is cut fresh daily; and turkey bacon.

"We probably go through about six, 3-foot slabs a week," co-owner Emily Alkhal said. "We also serve fresh scrapple, ham and chipped beef."

Alkhal, who is the head chef, worked as a server for the past 18 years at various Lehigh Valley restaurants, including the Hellertown Diner and former West End Diner in Allentown.

Her dream has always been to open her own restaurant and she credits her fiance and business partner, Ruben Santiago, for helping make it a reality.

"People called me crazy, but he supported me and continues to stand by me every step of the way," she said of Santiago, who serves as the restaurant's prep cook.

The Allentown couple performed minor renovations, such as repainting the walls and adding new kitchen equipment, but the booths and dining counter remain from the space's previous tenant, Bill's Lunch, which closed in 2012 after more than three decades of business.

An expansive menu, which also features meats from Milander's Meat Market in Coplay, ranges from omelets, egg platters and rotating soups to salads, angus beef burgers and hot and cold sandwiches. There's even a "Bill's Famous Dog," honoring the former eatery's owner, Bill Balliet.

So far, popular picks include the Bacon Strip Burger (comes with fried onions, mushrooms and cheddar cheese), Bacon Crunch Toast (French toast covered in bacon crumbles and drizzled with icing) and Meat Cakes (pancakes filled with bacon, ham, sausage or pork roll).

The Bacon Strip, which accepts cash only, serves breakfast 6-11 a.m. and lunch 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, but if it's not busy, you can order from either menu. Info: 610-440-1722

It's totally worth it, I would never give up 40years of bacon or hot dogs for a little rectal Cancer.
