The last Saturday in August, a friend of ours was in town from Los Angeles, so we arranged to meet him for some late night dinner and drinks at pretty much the best spot in the entire city for late night dinner and drinks, Butterjoint. Unfortunately, I didn't capture our libations, but what we had … Continue reading 8-27-16 / Butterjoint / Pittsburgh, PA

For my birthday this year, I was struggling to come up with a place that we'd all enjoy as a family (my wife and parents).

8-21-16 / Golden Eagle Inn / Bedford Springs, PA
The night of the meal at the Crystal Room, my wife and I checked into the bed and breakfast she'd made reservations for us at the Golden Eagle Inn.

In the morning when we woke, we went … Continue reading 8-21-16 / Golden Eagle Inn / Bedford Springs, PA

I'd never been there before, but my wife had, and she'd greatly enjoyed … Continue reading 7-22-16 / Butcher and the Rye / Pittsburgh, PA

5-16-16 / Carson Kitchen / Las Vegas, NV
Now that I'm all caught up with the memorable meals I've had in Pittsburgh recently, I'm going to head back to Vegas and finish up those meals (there's approximately 4 more including this one). The meal at Carson Kitchen was excellent, truly a special evening, and was even recommended to me by a local (thanks Steve!). Easily one … Continue reading 5-16-16 / Carson Kitchen / Las Vegas, NV
