Steve-O: The Bucket List Tour lands at Easton’s State Theatre Sept 7
Steve-O (a.k.a. Stephen Glover) was willing to do whatever it took to become famous, even if it meant stapling his b***sack to his leg.
After failing miserably at the University of Miami, Steve-O was a homeless couch-surfer for three years before he attended Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Clown College, to help further his goal of becoming a famous stuntman.

Steve-O: The Bucket List Tour lands at Easton’s State Theatre Sept 7
His relentless attention-wh*ring ultimately led to working with Johnny Knoxville on a stunt-based reality show. The rest is history. MTV aired the first season of JACKASS in 2000.
Since then, Steve-O has had continued success, as a New York Times best-selling author with the release of his memoir, ‘Professional Idiot’, and he has established himself as a force in the world of stand-up comedy. He’s thrilled to be releasing his new, profoundly multimedia, and wildly explicit comedy special, direct to his fans at steveo.com. It’s called “Gnarly”, for good reason.
Across his social media platforms, Steve-O has amassed well over 24 million followers and counting, providing an intimate window into his continued antics and colorful life with his fiancee, Lux. He’s also got a weekly podcast called Steve-O’s Wild Ride! with amazing guests which have included Demi Lovato, Shaquille O’Neal, Ronda Rousey, David Dobrik, Tony Hawk, and more.
Steve-O has never stopped being wild and crazy, but he’s definitely evolved. He’s been clean and sober for over twelve years now, and developed a genuine love for animals (including the four dogs, two cats, and three goats he and Lux have rescued). Steve-O and Lux have plans to start their own animal sanctuary.

Lehigh Invaded with Scary-good whiskies this Halloween: J. Mattingly 1845 Welcomes Fall with New Whiskey Offerings
Scary-good whiskies this Halloween: J. Mattingly 1845 Welcomes Fall with New Whiskey Offerings
J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery is debuting scary-good whiskies this fall, with its first fall spiced Bourbon 31 Blended Bourbon and the ability to customize your own whiskey for your Halloween festivities through its J. Mattingly 1845 craft your bottle program.
Screenshot
Bourbon 31 Blended Bourbon is a play on the brand’s Bourbon 30 Bourbon brand and this limited-edition release was created for the Halloween season.
Bourbon 31 is a blend of three whiskies which have all undergone J. Mattingly 1845’s Double Staving™ process and the blend consists of 51 percent Bourbon, 29 percent Light Whiskey and 20 percent Rye Whiskey. Double Staving is a proprietary process used by J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery that gives the whiskey inside the barrels additional surface exposure to charred barrel staves to impart more flavor and color.
The Double Staved Classic Bourbon used in this blend has just scored a 96 from famed Whiskey Bible author Jim Murray.
The Bourbon 31 Blended Bourbon was created by J. Mattingly 1845’s team of expert blenders to reflect the flavors typically associated with fall. “When we blended these three whiskies, we were looking for a flavor profile that reflects flavors typically associated with fall, such as pumpkin and cinnamon while matching the light-hearted fun we’re having by changing the brand name from Bourbon 30 to Bourbon 31 to celebrate the Halloween season,” said Harry Richart, president, J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery.
Tasting notes for this bourbon describe it as having a nose of nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla and walnut, with the flavors of brown sugar, cinnamon, and fall baking spices on the palate. On the finish, pumpkin bread, baker’s chocolate and seasoned oak are prevalent.
Bourbon 31 is available online and at the J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery in Frankfort, KY. Suggested retail pricing is $60 for a 750 mL and it is 98 proof.
J. Mattingly 1845 Custom Whiskey Program is the “Choose Your Own Adventure” of the whiskey world by allowing the buyer to choose between double staved™ bourbon, light whiskey or rye whiskey recipes, select their bottle shape, customize their own label, and even choose their own wax color from every color of the rainbow! This program is available online and in person at the Distillery and can result in some frighteningly fun labels and Halloween-themed wax colors. Imagine expressing your innermost devilish (or angelic) thoughts on the bourbon bottle you give your favorite boo.
Pricing for the custom bottles start at $120 for a 750 mL bottle and shipping is available to 46 states.

Youell’s Oyster House is the Lehigh Valley’s Answer to ‘Sea to Table’ Seafood
Youell’s Oyster House is the Lehigh Valley’s answer to seafood.
Youell’s Oyster House is hidden in a cozy neighborhood of Allentown, PA within minutes of the Allentown Fairgrounds, Muhlenberg College and Cedar Crest College. About twenty minutes from the PPL center.
Youell’s Oyster House has History
Part of Pennsylvania history, originally opened in 1895. Then Gus Filipos, a longtime patron of Youell’s, bought the business in 1984 and his son Chris joined in 1987.
Over the years they earned a reputation for excellent food. Their oysters, their Certified Black Angus beef. Their wine and craft beer selections.
And very fresh seafood.
According to their website the scallops (and presumably most of their seafood) is caught less than 12 hours before being served on your plate.
Pretty good.
The motto they repeat throughout their website is:
“Upscale dining
in a relaxed atmosphere.”
I was told a few times during a recent East Coast visit, that Youell’s has the best seafood in the Lehigh Valley, so I planned to try them out.
Let’s Taste Youell’s
I arrive on a Saturday mid-afternoon, take a seat at their half full bar and proceed to order an Old Fashioned, Caesar Salad and Salmon Tartare.
Youells Oyster House Caesar salad
Cuisine
Are the ingredients fresh? Is your dish well-plated?
The cuisine is excellent. Crisp lettuce in the salad. Fresh, creamy salmon tartare. The plating is inventive and inspiring. I can close my eyes later and still happily taste it all.
Youells Oyster House Salmon Tartare
Youell’s Ambience
The setting is comfortably disarming. The phrase they use is “Upscale dining in a relaxed atmosphere’ and they accomplish this goal.
Open floorplan, lovingly re-built after a devastating fire, pastel and light wood. Lots of outside light shining in.
Youells Oyster Bar
Not necessarily “romantic”, but more “homey”. Not really a first date kind of place, nor a “Saturday night” kind of place.
I am a bit surprised the customers ranged older (55+) considering the location is so close to colleges and other younger spots.
Service
As mentioned, it’s a Saturday afternoon and I am surprised by how busy it is. Feels like neighbors and regulars. Nobody seems “in a rush.”
My bartender is friendly and pleasant, but she keeps busy. The service is as relaxed as the vibe itself. Some prefer that, some would like a bit more attention.
Hospitality
Does the restaurant deliver on the promise it makes to their customers?
If you’re looking for comfort and excellent food, this is a great place to try. Not “impressive” or romantic, but down home quality.
I’d go back again on a Friday or Saturday night to see if the vibe does evolve for a more sexy, date night feel. But my guess is, it doesn’t and that’s the way the restaurant and its usual crowd likes it.
Youell’s Oyster House has excellent seafood in the Lehigh Valley, but their relaxed ambience might leave some of their customers wanting more of an experience.
Located at 2249 Walnut St, Allentown, PA 18104
Lunch 11-3pm daily
Dinner from 11am daily
