Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem Announces Opening of 'Burgers And More by
Emeril' and New Branch of the Famed Carnegie Deli on November 22




BETHLEHEM, Pa., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem today
announced plans to open two new restaurants - Burgers And More by Emeril, the
first-ever burger restaurant by world-renowned Chef Emeril Lagasse, and a new
branch of the famous New York City Carnegie Deli. Both restaurants will launch
at the Sands Bethlehem property on November 22. 

Burgers And More by Emeril - a play on Lagasse's signature expression, BAM! -
joins Emeril's Chop House as the chef's second restaurant at the Sands
Bethlehem. The menu will feature prime and grass-fed beef burgers, plus
seafood, turkey and veggie selections - along with Emeril's distinctive twist
on all-American favorites, fresh salads and cool desserts. 

"I've dreamed of opening a burger restaurant for many years and I'm excited to
finally serve up my favorites and some new combinations that you might not
expect to see on a bun," said Emeril Lagasse. "This is a fun place where you
can kick back, enjoy a great burger with a shake, a beer or a glass of wine."

In addition to a lineup of burger "standards," Emeril invites diners to create
their own by selecting from an extensive list of fresh toppings and housemade
sauces. The eatery will offer tableside service with Emeril's signature warm
style of hospitality, a cocktail bar and specialty drink menu, bottled and tap
beers, and wines by the bottle or glass. 

The casual and modern setting, designed by the firm Floss Barber, Inc. of
Philadelphia, will feature a warm palette with accents of wood and brick.
Diners can catch their favorite game on several flat-panel televisions or take
in the action of the chefs at work inside the open kitchen.

Carnegie Deli at Sands Bethlehem, which will be only one of three Carnegie
Deli locations in the entire country, will duplicate the atmosphere of its New
York City location, continuing the restaurant's tradition of donning pictures
of visiting celebrities on the wall and featuring signature items from its
classic menu, including its famous corned beef and pastrami, gargantuan
sandwiches and cheesecake. The new property will seat approximately 150
guests, and will include a takeout area as well. 

Carnegie Deli in New York City serves as a quintessential Jewish "kosher
style" delicatessen for all residents and tourists. Another branch of the
famous deli is located in Las Vegas. 

"We're pleased to expand the Carnegie Deli franchise and introduce it to a
wonderful and historic city like Bethlehem," said Carnegie Deli owner Sandy
Levine. "We hope that Sands Bethlehem patrons will enjoy having a classic deli
option among the other great dining options at the property."

"We are so honored that both Chef Lagasse and the Carnegie Deli have chosen to
open new restaurants at the Sands Bethlehem," said Sands Bethlehem President
Robert DeSalvio. 
"These two unique restaurants will add to the wide variety of dining options
that our property currently offers, and we know that they will be great
attractions for our guests." 

On November 22, the Sands Bethlehem will also open a new lounge, Infusion. The
property's other premier dining options include Emeril's Chop House, St. James
Gate Irish Pub and Carvery, The Market - Gourmet Express and Cobalt Cafe.
