I am an absolute pickle maven and expert. I have been to most of the pickle places in PA, New…read moreJersey, New York City and Long Island. I know what good pickles should taste like-I am talking about brine fermented barrel cured kirby cucumber pickles-not the vinegar cured variety type found on supermarket shelves. At first I thought it was great having a NY style pickle place in Quakertown...I have been a customer for over a year and have bought gallons of pickles from this guy. I have to admit I have a love/hate relationship with this place-on one hand I need my pickle fix and on the other I am tired of the poor customer service, the less-than-honest dealings with the customers by the owner and the inconsistent quality of the pickles. I have really tried to give his guy a chance, but he falls short every time to follow through on satisfaction. Let me explain: The pickle quality and consistency varies from one week to the next. One week they are tasty "new pickles" then the next week the pickles are older and stale and on the verge of being full sour for pickles labeled as "new/half sour" Plus, sometimes the pickles have an off taste, as thought they have been sitting around in an open vat in a refrigerator that has lots of spoiled food in it. Definitely not an appetizing taste. Also, the pickles sometimes are these huge hacking pickles where you can only fit 3-4 in a quart container. When I ask about the quality the owner consistently states he switched suppliers. Every week or so you are switching suppliers? Another point is how he packages them. In a real NY style pickle shop, the pickles are hand packed at the time of purchase into quart, half gallon or gallon containers. This owner uses tongs to put them into the container and if one pickle goes in crooked and takes up the space of two or three pickles, so be it-the customer gets shorted. It's less pickles he has to pack into your container and more pickles he has to sell overall. You see those nice bright green pickles in the barrel-forget about getting those if he already has prepackaged pickles in quart containers to sell. This is another trick he uses-he'll prepack the largest pickles he can find and force you to buy them first. If you insist you want the smaller to medium sized pickles (most people do) you are SOL! He won't sell you those-only the big hacking pickles that only have a few in a quart. Very tricky indeed! Lastly, He refuses to give out free samples. In the pickle business it is standard operating procedure to give free samples of the products you sell. The samples don't have to be full size pickles-just slices of them. I have bought gallons of pickles from this guy-always hit or miss-as aforementioned- and he NEVER gave me a sample of a particular pickle I would ask about. Once, I asked him how garlicky his garlic dills are. His response: "Oh! They have a lot of garlic in them." WOW! That really gives me a descriptive flavor profile! NOT! Needless to say, I didn't buy any garlic dills. Hmmm...it costs a few hundreds of a CENT to give a sample and that could turn into 10s of dollars...wouldn't it make sense to give out a sample if someone asks? It's so obtuse thinking to think that you can maximize sales by not giving out samples. I've gone on long enough...thankfully, my favorite pickle purveyor has a stand at a local outdoor farmer's market during the summer and fall. I can get free samples and the quality is consistent.

The pickles are always great, no idea what this "maven of pickledom" is talking about. The garlic…read moredill, Spicy dill and Hawaiian ones are awesome. Prices are superb, never had a quart with a crooked pickle packed in on purpose. Hey maven, if they are packing them sideways, say something at the time, don't be a cry baby who vents on the Internet because you are not strong enough to say what you think at the time, please. Keep a good thing going pickle man, your fellow quakertuckians will keep on crunching!!

There's a lot going on at this place: takeout food counter, deli, and grocery. My review is based…read moresolely on the cheesesteak I ordered. I was craving a California cheesesteak, hadn't had one since Brass Rail closed. This place was nearby and good reviews elsewhere so I thought I'd give it a try. First, it took a little while to get my food. That's a good thing because everything was made fresh to order. But a very big roll made it seem as though there was too little filling, even though there was plenty of quality meat and veggies. Second, the man working there and his son (I assume) were so nice! Very kind and friendly. The small grocery had a deli counter with fresh meats and some produce that also looked fresh. The building is on a weird corner, but there is parking a few yards from the entrance and a couple of parking spots in the back.

It would be hard pressed to find a classic like this in the Bay Area, and if something like this does still exist, it's at risk of withering away at any moment. Fortunately, that's not the case here, where nostalgia lives on. I come here for their macaroni salad, but I know locals who prefer their potato salad and ham salad instead. FYI, for California folks not familiar with ham salad, it's similar to a tuna or egg salad, except made with ham. Thus far, I've had the macaroni salad for the 2 out of 2 days I've been here so far. I may give their potato salad a try tomorrow. Personally, I'd have their macaroni salad everyday, if I lived here. You'll also find plenty of Pennsylvania and East Coast classical food items that you won't find in California, like their homemade shoo-fly pies and kiffles, A-Coast sodas, Good's Chips and Tasty Cakes. In addition, there's also local memorabilia along the walls of this tiny store. When I see all of these things, I know I'm not in the Bay Area anymore! Ressler's is super popular for their sandwiches, particularly their Italian subs. During lunch, this is a busy place as people come in for their grab and go sandwiches. And doesn't macaroni salad make a great accompaniment to an Italian hoagie? I certainly think so!!

Seasons is a gourmet olive oil and vinegar brand and small chain of shops and tasting rooms that…read moreopened in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 2010. It was founded by husband and wife Tim Balshi and Soraya Aguilar. The couple first began importing olive oil to the United States in 1999, driving between Maine and Virginia in their old Chevrolet. Aguilar grew up on her family's third-generation olive farm in Jaen, Spain. Jaen is located in a region called Andalusia, which produces 80% of Spain's olive oil. The couple decided to found their own brand, Seasons, in 2009. Their mission was to provide customers with healthy, plant-based, all-natural, everyday luxury olive oils and vinegars that empower home cooks and elevate every type of cuisine. Their first brick & mortar storefront and taproom opened in Bethlehem the following year. Following the success of the original location, additional taprooms opened in Lancaster as well as Anapolis (MD). Additional storefronts (without the taproom element) also opened in Hershey, Wayne, and Easton. My family and I visited Seasons Bethlehem over the summer while we were visiting relatives in the area. We were exploring Main Street in Downtown Bethlehem and happened to walk by the storefront. My wife and I love exploring shops that sell gourmet oils and vinegars, so we decided to stop in. They had so many different types of oils and vinegars to try out. In addition to oils and vinegars, they also sell gourmet olives, pastas, syrups, honey, and various types of crackers. We had trouble deciding what to purchase, but finally chose to bring home some Italian Fig Balsamic Vinegar as well as some Honey Hot Sauce. We're so happy to have accidentally discovered Seasons and we hope to return on our next visit to Bethlehem!
