Finally starting to go back out again and enjoy the best of what Pittsburgh has to offer. Stopped on Saturday for some lunch from Rudy's Original House of Subs in Swissvale. The OG Italian on their fresh, chewy crusty bread is just a symphony of salamis and capacolla, sharp provolone, and of course I've gotta get the works of lettuce, tomato, onion, and light on the dressing when you go cold. A classic hoagie and a flavor that defines the east coast sub for me.
@thekitsby and @mikexingchen hot pot night. We fought the hotpot and I think it won... Incredibly easy to put together and eat, this was like an all you can food buffet of pork belly, silken tofu, frozen tofu, noodles on noodles on mushrooms on mushrooms. Tried to survive with a few dumplings split between us, and it was all super delicious, but there was just too much food. Next time just one hot pot, probably a modified tomato and chicken stock base with garlic, ginger, star anise, bay leaf, and Szechuan chiles with hot chili oil dipping sauce on the side to adjust our spice to taste.
