===Cuisine=== [[File:Yocco's, Trexlertown, PA (2).JPG|thumb|[[Yocco's Hot Dogs]], founded in 1922 by [[Lee Iacocca]]'s uncle Theodore Iacocca, maintains five popular locations in Allentown and its suburbs]] Vestiges of Allentown's [[Pennsylvania Dutch]] heritage are prominent in [[Cuisine of the Pennsylvania Dutch|Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine]] in the city. Foodstuffs, including [[scrapple]], [[Chow-chow (food)|chow-chow]], [[Lebanon bologna]], [[cole slaw]], and [[apple butter]], are often found in local [[diner]]s and the Allentown Farmer's Market. [[Shoofly pie]], [[birch beer]], and [[funnel cake]]s are regularly available at local fairs. Several local churches make and sell [[Fasnacht (doughnut)|fastnachts]] in fundraisers for [[Shrove Tuesday|Fastnacht Day]], the day before [[Lent]]'s commencement. Due in part to Allentown's proximity to Philadelphia, [[cheesesteaks]] are immensely popular. [[Yocco's Hot Dogs]], a regionally well-known [[hot dog]] and cheesesteak establishment with five area locations, three of which are in Allentown, was founded in 1922 by Theodore Iacocca, uncle of former [[Chrysler]] chairman and president [[Lee Iacocca]]. [[A-Treat Bottling Company]], a regionally-popular [[soft drink]] beverage company, has been based in Allentown since its 1918 founding.
