Steve Kershner opened the Twisted Olive recently because, "I can't get tied down to one type of cooking." Located at 51 W. Broad St., the restaurant features a diverse lunch and dinner menue that changes with the season and its owner's mood. "Whatever I'm in to that week, I do that," he said, explaining he supplements the fluid menu - ranging from Tuscan, Italian and Moroccan to Thai - with fresh pickings from his own massive home garden. The drinks are similarly unique, with an array of infusion-blended cocktails available. Kershner said he's been cooking since an early job at the Hotel Bethlehem in 1976 and, "My wife and I love Bethlehem." With a location between two parking garages, two hotels and with the suppert of the city's downtowns, "I couldn't say no." The Twisted Olive has a bar, dining room and outdoor dining deck with music piped from inside. Visit
