Lehigh Valley Food for Thought

Best Food Instagram Account

For those who can’t dig into breakfast, lunch or dinner without first posting a picture of it, Heidi Stahl may be your patron saint. She’s the brains (and the belly) behind Lehigh Valley Food For Thought, an online record of all the sweet, savory and scintillating dishes, desserts and snacks that Stahl has sampled at the area’s many eateries. It’s a journey chronicled in one delicious close-up after another. “I love the experience of trying dishes I might not have normally tried and experiencing all different types of food,” Stahl says. “Having this food blog has also pushed me to order new things.”

The Official Brunch Boys   

Best Local Podcast

Forget about the ladies who lunch. Instead, grab a bite with the boys who brunch. George Gaisey and Dashawn Upson, who both hail from Whitehall, say they’ve been buddies since they were kids. They’re the voices you hear on “The Official Brunch Boys” podcast, which launched in August of 2020. But don’t let the name fool you—they’re not just talking about places to get a tasty short stack. On the menu is a buffet of topics that run the gamut from racial injustice to current events to personal stories about romantic relationships and friendships. They also frequently share the mic with guests to keep the conversation fresh and unpredictable. So, as the boys might say, grab a (bottomless) mimosa, sit back and catch a vibe.
