The Beacon 443 Restaurant - Lehighton, PA
If you're like me and you enjoy eating at roadside diners, I have two pieces of advice for you:
- If the menu has something on it that's named after the restaurant, order it.
- If there is any artwork in the restaurant that's dedicated to something on their menu, order it.
If both of those things are true, this suggestion is more of a polite demand.
The Beaconator is 3/4 of a pound of angus beef topped with bacon, chili, jalapeno peppers, onion rings, cheddar jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and barbecue sauce. I very rarely make special requests when I order something at a restaurant, but I ordered mine without mayo because the idea of chili mixed with mayonnaise is not something I even want to imagine let alone consume. It's a little tricky to eat because it's served as two 6 oz patties on a ciabatta bun with the toppings spread across both of them. I cut it in half and ate it as two separate burgers so that it didn't fall apart on me, and it worked for the most part.
This burger is absolutely delicious! The only thing that would keep me from ordering it next time we stop at The Beacon 443 Restaurant is that there are so many other things on the menu that I want to try.
