The
Historic Hotel Bethlehem Launches new
Children’s Menu
Bethlehem, Pa., (August 11, 2008) -The General Manager
of the Historic Hotel Bethlehem, Dennis Costello, is pleased
to announce a new children’s menu.
The new menu is geared toward parents concerned with feeding
their children nutritious food, children who want food
that looks and taste great, and families that want to dine
out together, and not drive through.
The hotel’s executive chef, Bill Murphy, had the
task of catering not only to parents tired of the same
deep fried “kid food” served everywhere but
also to children of all ages, some with more complex palates
and some finicky eaters. Some of Chef Murphy’s
selections are scaled down versions of his regular menu,
French onion soup, crab cake sandwich, chicken pot pie
and meat loaf stuffed with ham, cheese and spinach, served
with mashed potatoes. Other selections from Chef
Murphy are more of the staples chicken fingers, macaroni
and cheese and grilled cheese. Chef Murphy is the
father of three young children, so he understands what
kids eat.
The menu includes separate selections for breakfast, lunch,
dinner, specialty drinks and, of course, desserts. Chef
Murphy uses organically and locally farmed products.
 To launch the children’s menu the Historic Hotel
Bethlehem is offering a free Shirley Temple to any child
(14 and under) dining at our restaurant who can answer
one of the Hotel B’s history questions! (Shirley
Temple is a former guest of the Hotel Bethlehem-so we have
a special affinity for her.)
