Our Mission

Having grown up in the Allentown West End and recognizing the great Gastronomic tradition of our neighborhood, we intend to carry on and celebrate the passion for food and social interaction that brought us to great Eateries like The Shanty, Rascals, The Haviland Grille, Kern's, Henry's Salt of the Sea, etc., and brings us today to Ringer's, Wert's, Callaghan's and Stooges, to name a few. Initially we will host scratch-food Dinner Events in different West End locations -- whether as a Pop-up Restaurant, Pub Take-over, or Multiple Course Charity Dinners -- with emphasis on locally raised and grown, sustainable, farm to table ingredients prepared with both reverance and humor. Ultimately, we want to encourage individuals to come out to enjoy what's made the West End a great neighborhood wherein to grow up; to make it "an Evening" socializing in our great pubs, shopping from our unique, local businesses, catching a movie or show at the theatre, and experiencing an unforgettable dinner with the Gastro Club.
