The best meals I enjoyed while dining outside of Pittsburgh in 2018.

Happy Lunar New Year! #latergram of our incredible meal @theparlordimsumpgh by the incomparable @roger_li . Easily the best Ma Po Tofu I've had in Pittsburgh (huge portion!) and a dazzling array of dim sum. Don't miss the taro puffs, the golden mushrooms, or the pumpkin congee. The char siu and the duck were beautifully roasted and tender, fatty and delicious. On top of all that the service was outstanding. Get all of your friends together and go out today!

It's never too cold for Ice Cream! This new hard scoops shop opened right in my backyard in Forest Hills! Get to @iscreamshoppa right off of Ardmore Boulevard and get some outstanding sweet treats! I sampled a lot of flavors, but ultimately went with the Zanzibar Chocolate, a super rich and fudgey dream with such a tasty chocolate base and the Caramel Apple Pie that not only paired the delicious cinnamon base with apple pieces but also has chunks of pie crust!

It's the Season Finale of Plate It, Pittsburgh! On one of the best episodes all season (ever?!) we see Chef Roger Li (@roger_li) take on Chef Ryan Grace (@coughlins10) in a SPICY-themed episode! Can we stand the heat? or will we tap out and beg for a glass of milk? Huge shout out to @rocketfuelstudios for absolutely doing an amazing job this season! Cannot wait for the next one!

Happy Thanksgiving! As you sit around with your family before and after the meal, you could watch a repeat of the parade or some football game nobody wants to watch, OR you watch all of Season 1 and 6 episodes from Season 2 of Plate it, Pittsburgh!

This week's new episode of Plate It, Pittsburgh is "Date Night Delights" and we had two absolute master chefs @pitamyshawarma and @stayrook_216 battling to create some refined dishes, designed to impress! Watch now or binge with your family while they're over next week for Thanksgiving!
