Over on the Unplanned Comedy Podcast "Food Weirdos" you can listen to me chat about cuisine with hosts Steve and Josie. It was a wonderfully fun time and I reference this very review in it.

Finally, I found in my notes a place that a … Continue reading Quick Bite 11-21-16 / Wiggy’s / Pittsburgh, PA
Quick Bite 11-13-16 / The Abbey on Butler / Pittsburgh, PA
Later that week, I went with my family to The Abbey on Butler, a converted funeral parlor that is now a coffee bar, a bar, and a restaurant all in one.
