Best of Pittsburgh (2017)
Another year down, another amazing series of meals in this lovely city of Pittsburgh. We continue to thrive as a community and move forward in both economic and societal successes. Let's all support each other and make sure to especially support those small, neighborhood restaurants that you really enjoy! I was very disappointed to see … Continue reading Best of Pittsburgh (2017)
8-23 and 10-03-17 / Casellula @ Alphabet City / Pittsburgh, PA (North Side)
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. I wanted to get it up before the podcast went live, but it was their diligence and my busy schedule … Continue reading 8-23 and 10-03-17 / Casellula @ Alphabet City / Pittsburgh, PA (North Side)
Quick Bite 11-21-16 / Wiggy’s / Pittsburgh, PA
The Monday before Thanksgiving found my father, my wife and I on the hunt for some BBQ. It's astonishing how many restaurants are closed on Mondays. We found this out as we struck out at location after location (initially intending to head to Yinzburgh BBQ). 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. While it's a beautiful space and the service is excellent, I still feel like they have a couple of kinks to work out with … Continue reading Quick Bite 11-13-16 / The Abbey on Butler / Pittsburgh, PA
9-21-16 / Morcilla / Pittsburgh, PA
A few weeks back, I had the pleasure to join a friend of mine for dinner before heading back to his studio to record an episode of his podcast. We easily decided on one of the hottest restaurants in Pittsburgh, Morcilla. Please check out Garrett Titlebaum's Podcast It's Nice to See He's Working and listen to … Continue reading 9-21-16 / Morcilla / Pittsburgh, PA
8-31-16 / tako / Pittsburgh, PA
Before going to see The Moth mainstage at the Byham Theater, my wife and I stopped into tako to grab some dinner. We'd eaten here previously, at the open kitchen seating outside, but tonight we were able to snag a seat at the bar. The bar manager was extremely warm and conversational, an incredible feat, especially … Continue reading 8-31-16 / tako / Pittsburgh, PA
8-28-16 / Bakn / Carnegie, PA
The following day, my Mother-in-Law offered to take my wife and me out to brunch. I'd heard good things and read positive reviews, so we decided to check out Bakn. A fun, open, and bright bistro, I hope to see more life breathed into Carnegie. It's always exciting when discovering fun gems outside of the … Continue reading 8-28-16 / Bakn / Carnegie, PA
8-27-16 / Butterjoint / Pittsburgh, PA
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
8-23-16 / Altius / 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). I'm always looking to try somewhere new and something different, but I couldn't think of a place that I'd eaten in the last year that was as special as the … Continue reading 8-23-16 / Altius / Pittsburgh, PA
